ABSTRACT
Acute renal cortical necrosis is a rare cause of acute renal failure that is usually associated with third trimester obstetrical complications. The appearance of this condition on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) has rarely been described. A case of acute cortical renal necrosis is presented and the findings on contrast-enhanced CT are described. The pathologic correlation is also presented.

The computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR), and angiographic features of a case of mesenteric panniculitis are presented. The MR characteristics of this rare disorder have not previously been reported. The value of MR in arriving at the preoperative diagnosis of this disorder is discussed.

Faz-se a observaçäo experimental do cloridrato de buflomedil, em pacientes portadores de arteriopatias obstrutivas dos membros inferiores. Analisam-se os resultados e emite-se, como conclusäo, o parecer de que o medicamento foi eficiente em 77% dos casos, para controlar a dor em repouso. Além disso, indica-se, como dose recomendada nesses casos, a aplicaçäo endovenosa de 50mg de 8 em 8 horas
