RESUMO
The authors report the case of a patient whose left middle cerebral artery aneurysm was wrapped with cotton. Occlusion of the middle cerebral artery, probably secondary to a foreign-body inflammatory reaction, developed late in the postoperative course. A computerized tomography scan revealed cerebral infarct, and an enhancing expansive lesion at the site of the aneurysm suggesting the formation of a granuloma. These findings are discussed and the literature is reviewed.

Thirteen patients of both sexes, affected by a severe form of a papular rosacea, were treated with 13-cis retinoic acid (1 mg/kg/day) for two months. One patient interrupted the treatment after 15 days because of severe blepharitis. The size and number of papules were progressively reduced from the 2nd week, reaching complete regression at the 6th week. Three patients complained of mild blepharitis, nine developed dry cheilitis.
