    Notes: Abstract During a 5-year period 229 aneurysms of the abdominal aorta were identified by ultrasonography (US) and subsequently submitted to CT. Of these, 41 were seen to be of the inflammatory type on the grounds of the CT scans, confirmed in 29 cases by surgical findings. The patients were 38 men and 3 women, mean age 64.9 years. US, performed using both 3.5 and 5 MHz probes, revealed the inflammatory nature of the aneurysm in 33 of 41 cases (80.5%). In the remaining cases a correct diagnosis could not be determined because of obesity and/or the distal location of the lesion. Regarding the complications associated with the inflammatory nature of the aneurysm (considered only in those cases submitted to surgery) US revealed a good diagnostic accuracy for ureteral involvement (7/7 cases detected, no false positives). Caval involvement was also correctly identified in 6 of 8 cases, although overestimated in 3 of 21. Both of these complications were correctly detected by CT in all cases. Neither US nor CT furnished reliable signs regarding duodenal and colonic involvement (surgically proven in 4 of 29 cases). US proved effective in detecting the inflammatory nature of the aneurysm. If surgery is considered, CT seems mandatory for a correct assessment of the complications.

    Notes: Abstract Menkes' disease, a neurodegenerative progressive X-linked disorder, was diagnosed in a 4-month-old child. The diagnosis was made on the combination of clinical features with laboratory and radiological findings. The pathogenesis of the skeletal findings in Menkes' disease is as yet unclear. Because of the severity of the prognosis and in order to plan treatment, the correct diagnosis has to be reached quickly. Typical manifestations of the syndrome are likely to develop after 3 months of age, with a pleiotropic appearance. In the present case, on the basis of the clinical investigation the patient underwent retrograde cystourethrography, roentgenographic examination of the skeleton, and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. On analysis of the magnetic resonance imaging, we detected one-sided involvement of both subcortical and cortical parenchyma resembling a unilateral ischemic lesion such as, to our knowledge, has not yet been reported.
