ABSTRACT
The cases are presented of 9 patients with intestinal angiodysplasia observed in 1979-85 in the surgery departments of San Carlo Borromeo Hospital, Milan. Diagnostic problems are discussed with particular reference to angiographic and endoscopic methods. Surgical treatment gave good results. Recurrent bleeding may depend on the inadequate assessment of the extension of the lesion or on the existence of other unrecognised intestinal sites.

The authors exam 8 subfrenic abscesses cases observed in the last 5 years in Fatebenefratelli Hospital of Milano - Emergency Surgical Department. After considering etiologic, clinical and therapeutic aspects of their casuistry, they remark the importance of the basal illness, particularly in secondary subfrenic abscesses which are the most part in their series and in the literature ones. In this series of cases they always used trans-abdominal laparatomy which never gave technical problems, so they underline it may be preferable in comparison with other surgical methods.
