The incidence of iatrogenic femoral false aneurysms has risen in recent years and is estimated to 0.5% for diagnostic procedures and may rise to 9% or more for therapeutic procedures. This increased incidence is in relation with the increased number of arterial punctures and their major complexity
The authors present three clinical cases in which the initial diagnosis of acute phlebothrombosis has been made with its therapeutic corollary of anticoagulant medication. In the first case, there was a known tumour in the popliteal region. In the other two cases, the tumour was only recognized
A case of a pseudoaneurysm secondary to bleeding which occurred during an intraoral vertical osteotomy of the mandible is presented. The bleeding was thought to be controlled by packing, but ultimately a pseudoaneurysm formed. Arteriography was used to diagnose the lesion and embolization to treat
The incidence of iatrogenic femoral false aneurysms has risen dramatically in recent years and is estimated at 0,5% for diagnostic procedures and may rise to 9% or more for therapeutic procedures. This increased incidence is related to the increased number of arterial punctures performed for
Typical cases of pollen allergen (hayfever, allergic asthma), together with isolated non-respiratory "equivalent" manifestations (urticaria, eye conditions, headache, etc.), are easy to detect on the basis of skin tests and the clinical history. Such manifestations may also occur in "false pollen

Background Most guidelines and experts recommend against performance of thrombophilia testing in general, and specifically against testing patients on pharmacological anticoagulants, due to substantially increased risk of false positive identification. For example, vitamin K antagonist (VKA) therapy
The emetic chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ), located in the area postrema of the medulla oblongata, is generally believed to be indispensable for the vomiting in motion sickness and, by extrapolation, also in space sickness. Accordingly, it has been postulated that a "motion vomiting substance" is
