[Brain stem auditory evoked potentials in the early period after a brain concussion]. / Slukhovye stvolovye vyzvannye potentsialy v rannie sroki posle sotriaseniia golovnogo mozga.

Acoustic truncal evoked potentials (ATEP) were studied in 24 patients in the first 48 hours after concussion of the brain. The absolute peak latency of components 1, 3, and 5, the interpeak intervals 1-3, 3-5, and 1-5, and the interaural difference were determined. The results were compared with those of examination of a control group of 24 healthy individuals. Individual and group appraisal failed to reveal any significant differences from normal values in none of the studied parameters in patients with brain concussion. The informativeness of the method in mild craniocerebral trauma is discussed.

[Teratoblastoma of the lung in a child]. / Teratoblastoma legkogo u rebenka.

A rare case of teratoblastoma located in the lungs is described. Pleural fluid was examined; its principal morphologic component was vascular tissue, which permitted a tentative diagnosis of a vascular tumor (possibly perithelioma); the presence of connective tissue and oxyphilic interstitial substance elements necessitated a differential diagnosis to rule out chemodectoma. The final diagnosis of teratoblastoma was made in pathohistologic examination.

[Myocardial hypoplasia of the right heart ventricle (Uhl's anomaly)]. / Gipplaziia miokarda pravogo zheludochka serdtsa (anomaliia ulia).

Uhl's anomaly (right ventricular myocardial hypoplasia), a rarely occurring congenital anomaly of the heart, is described in a newborn who lived 69 hours. In this case, the above anomaly was accompanied by an open oval window and atresia of the pulmonary artery, which led to the baby's short-term lifespan.
