A 24-year-old Lithuanian woman was referred for further investigation of a painless but restricting right-sided neck swelling. This case report discusses the differential diagnosis and up-to-date management of cystic hygroma in the adult.

Both carotid artery stump pressures of <25 mmHg and MCA velocities of <20cm/sec were more common in those >75yrs (p<0.005). There was no difference in the frequency of intraluminal shunt (34% in both groups) or synthetic patch usage (12.5% in those >75yrs versus 11% in those <75yrs for primary patching and 3.4% in both groups for secondary patching), and no difference in the combined 30-day stroke and death rates (1.1% in those >75yrs versus 3.4% in those <75yrs). Conclusions: CE in this cohort of patients >75yrs was not associated with an increased morbidity or mortality. Intra-operatively reduced carotid stump pressures and MCA velocities were not associated with increased use of shunting or patching. This study supports CE as a safe procedure in the elderly, especially in centres with low complication rates.

The concentration of NO metabolites (NO2 + NO3) in portal and peripheral venous plasma was measured.RESULTSThe activity of cNOS was lower in cirrhotic compared with non-cirrhotic subjects for both liver and omentum. Hepatic and omental iNO...
