The occurrence of a fistula between the duodenum and the colon is very rare, although these two structures commonly lie in intimate relationship to each other. It is not uncommon for tumor of the right colon and proximal transverse colon to involve the duodenum by continuity, but fistulous connection between the duodenum and colon are infrequent In most of the reported malignant cases, the fistulas follow carcinomas of the transverse colon or the hepatic flexure of the colon. We report a rare case of malignant duodenocolic fistula which was first suspected by endoscopic examination and confirmed by operation.

Congenital sinuses of the lips are uncommon congenital malformations. Congenital lateral upper lip sinuses or pits are more rare than those that occur in the midline, and only 10 cases have been reported previously. Congenital sinus of the upper lip usually present as a pit, which is the opening of a blind sinus penetrating the orbicularis oris muscle and ending just beneath the mucosal surface of the lip, without communication with oral cavity. Most sinus tracts are lined by stratified squamous epithelium, and mucous drainage or secretion is the most common symptom. In the literature, there are several theories of pathogenesis in which the invagination theory recieves the most attention but its etiology remains controversial. Surgical resection is the tratment of choice and an elliptical excision gives the most acceptable aesthetic result. The authors present 2 rare cases of congenital lateral upper lip sinus with pits found below right vermilion border, and just above the vermilion border on the left ridge of the philtrum.

When patients present with malignant cologastric fistulas, the tumor stage is often advanced and management is only palliative. We report the case of a 75-year-old man with a symptomatic cologastric fistula arising from an advanced tumor in the transverse colon, previously stented owing to malignant obstruction. An 8-cm-long covered self-expanding metal stent (COMVI enteral colonic stent; Taewoong Medical) was placed inside the primary stent, which sealed the fistula and completely alleviated the symptoms. Considering the successful outcome, we propose that insertion of a covered stent be considered in the palliative management of patients with malignant cologastric fistulas.

High dose intravenous methyl prednisolone was administered to patients with multiple sclerosis (4), transverse myelitis (6), and arachnoiditis (I). Almost complete remission was noted in 5 cases (4 with transverse myelitis and one with multiple sclerosis) and partial improvement in 3 patients (2 with multiple sclerosis and I with arachnoiditis ) within 3 days after therapy. The benefits of this therapy, however, was not that dramatic when started late after the onset of neurologic deficits.

The anatomical pattern of the dural venous sinuses in the vicinity of their confluence was examinaed in 54 cases of human fetus. The classification introduced here by author was based upon the presence or absence of bifurcation of the superior sagittal and straight sinuses without regard to their sizes or to those of the transverse sinuses. Four types of pattern occurred;common pool type, double bifurcation type, straight sinus bifurcation type and superior sagittal sinus bifurcation type. In a total of 54 anatomical dissections, 28 cases(51.8%) were of the first type(common pool), 5 cases(9.3%) of the second(double bifurcation), 6 cases(11.1%) of the third(straight sinus bifurcation) and 15 cases(27.8%) of the fourth(superior sagittal sinus bifurcation) .
