Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor or Brenner tumor is a relatively rare ovarian tumor. Other associated elements in the form of epithelial, mesenchymal, and tumor components of each tumor have been reported. The Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor with a Brenner tumor element has not been documented in the literature, so we are reporting on a case of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor coexisting with a Brenner tumor. This 62-year-old woman presented with a 4 year history of lower abdominal mass and vaginal bleeding. Exploratory laparotomy was done. The left ovary showed a multiseptated, cystic, yellow-white solid mass, measuring 17.0x13.0x5.0 cm and weighing 985.0 gm. Microscopic examination revealed a tubular or trabecular arrangement of the Sertoli cells and variable numbers of Leydig cells. There were several tumor nests with cystic spaces composed of ovoid cells showing longitudinal nuclear grooving. Sarcomatoid or heterologous elements were not found.

Recently advanced treatment of head injury has substantially improved result. Aggressive and intensive treatment has not only saved lives but has also reduced morbidity. This article elucidates the problems that must be dealt with in the management of severe head injury patients and develops guidelines in basic principles of modern treatment of head injury in making surgical decision. The rapid establishment of adequate ventilation and circulation is the first step. Next is followed by rapid evacuation of space-occupying mass lesions. Intensive monitoring of intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure is important. Finally deteriorating secondary injuries should be avoided. Many drugs have been claimed to be beneficial in animal studies, including lipid peroxidation inhibitors, free radical scavengers, NMDA receptor blockers, calcium channel blockers, monosialic gangliosides, and polyamine. New agents with efficacy either in lowering raised ICP or protecting the nervous system are introduced, and the results of their application are to be included.

The clinical triad of relapsing iritis, ulcers of the mouth and genitalia was first described in 1939 by Hulusi Behcet. This entity, originally confined to the above triad of symptoms appears to be systemic disease manifested by skin lesion, thrombophlebitis, neurologic, cardiovascular or visceral symptoms. The vascular involvement in Behcet's syndrome has been reported since Mischima first described a case in 1961, four types of vascular lesion are freuqnetly observed most commonly on the inferior or superior vena cava. Treatments consist of anticoagulation and administering oral steroids. We report a case of SVC obstruction in 36 years old female patient with Behcet's syndrome.

A normal-weight full-term newborn infant with a posterior fossa subdural hematoma is described. This potentially trea table condition has been previously diagnosed in only 13 reported cases. The clinical characteristics in this case were the lack of specific symptoms and signs indicating the nature and location of the lesion and the presence of signs of intracranial hypertension. Computed tomography allowed for earlier confirmation of the diagnosis and early surgical treatment resulted in excellent recovery.
