Intraoperative internal spermatic vein phlebography was performed in 12 primary and 3 recurrent cases of varicocele. The following results were obtained. 1. Marked dilation of the left internal spermatic vein was observed in 13 cases (87%), and retrograde flow was seen in 7 cases (47%). 2. Double or triple left internal spermatic vein was seen in 8 cases (53%). 3. Cross collateral venous circulation was noted in 6 cases (40%). 4. Intraoperative internal spermatic vein phlebography enabled to us understand the venous anatomy and the etiology of primary and recurrent varicoceles, and was an aid for the surgical removal of varicocele.

Orbital venography was performed on four eyes which showed the unilateral exophthalmos and were suspected as orbital tumors. One eye was confirmed in the nature and location of tumor by the tophographic finding and tumor-staining figure of venography. One eye was confirmed in only the location of the tumor by surgery, which is consistent with the venographic picture. The other two eyes were not confirmed by surgery but we can speculate the some space occupying lesion by viewing the topogra phic findings of venography. Neither complication nor sequela was observed during or after the venographic procedures. We think orbital venography is preferably valuable for diagnosing the orbital lesion.

We present a case with congenital absence of the infrarenal portion of inferior vena cava and lilac venous system, showing unusual venous collaterals including the left ovarian venous collateral via parametrial venous complex, and a mesenteric-periureteric venous connection. The venous collateral pathways were demonstrated by computed tomography and venography.

Orthostatic proteinuria is documented as a benign condition and the most common cause of isolated proteinuria. The etiology and pathogenesis of orthostatic proteinuria is not clear yet. Recently there were a few report that nutcracker syndrome seemed to cause orthostatic proteinuria. We experienced a case of a twelve-year-old female patient with incidently discovered orthostatic proteinuria who was suspected to have nutcracker phenomenon by doppler sonography. We confirmed this patient as nutcracker syndrome by renal venography.

In 41 cases of patients with varicocele, a new operative method which involves a higher incision level(12th rib) than any other method used previously was performed with intra-operative venography. The following results were obtained. 1. This study has allowed us to achieve a low recurrent rate(3%). 2. On venographic findings, 13 cases(32%) showed only one internal spermatic vein without any other central collateral vein and 28 cases(68%) revealed more than two central collateral veins. The central collateral veins were found at the level of inguinal area in all 28 cases, anterior superior iliac spine in 10 cases, and at the 12th rib level in 5 cases. 3. 3 Recurrent cases after previous high ligation originated from missed central collateral veins above the level of anterior superior iliac spine. Based on the above results. We concluded that the most common etiology of recurrent varicocele seems to be residual central collateral veins and it seems to be that higher ligation sites offer better operative results. A new operative approach in this study which involved a higher level of ligation than any other approach offered high success rate. and the intra-operative venography prevented us from missing all ligation of central collateral veins.

The phlebographic study was made on ten patients with varicocele in this department during two years period from May, 1978 to April, 1980. 1. The number of internal spermatic vein was between 1 and 4, showing the highest incidence in 2 vessels (5 cases). 2. The diameter of internal spermatic vein was between 2 and 6 mm, showing the highest incidence in 3 mm (4 cases) and long standing large varicocele developed collateral venous channel (2 cases). 3. Left renal vein-internal spermatic confluence was joined right angle in all cases and internal spermatic vein was demonstrated convoluted, atonic, wide structure without constriction, indicating valvular insufficiency in 6 cases.

Disturbances of the surrounding vascular system and the severe cicatrical entrapment of the injured plexus should be considered, with its neural damage, in brachial plexus injury by Gun-Shot. Therefore, Subclavian arteriography and Subclavian venography before operation should be essential and the correction of the deficit of the vascular system may be a factor in the determination of prognosis in relation to pain control. We have reported 2 cases of the brachial plexus injury by Gun-shot and discussed the importance of Subcalvian arteriography and Subclavian venography. External neurolysis seems to be beneficial in Causalgia caused by brachial plexus injury.

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV) is a minimally invasive, image-guided therapy used to relieve pain from osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Venography before injection of bone cement has been advocated as a means of identifying sites of potential venous leakage during the procedure. However, venography has been used only in selected situations, and its need is debatable. We aimed to analyze the usefulness of venography with percutaneous vertebroplasties for osteoporotic compression fractures and to report our recent experiences in treating such patients. METHODS: One hundred PVs performed on 93 patients were evaluated. To identify the usefulness of venography, our cases were divided into 2 groups. Group A patients had venographies before the PVs, whereas Group B patients were treated without venography. We analyzed their clinical status, pain status, and complications linked to leakage of bone cement. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in any of the collected data for the two groups. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that PVs can be performed safely without venography beforehand. However, venography may be beneficial for less experienced physicians or trainees.
