Cavernous angioma of spinal cord is an extremely rare vascular malformation. The association with brain cavernous angioma is even uncommon. There should be a high index of suspicion for a spinal cord lesion whenever a brain cavernous angioma is diagnosed, in cases with appropriate suggestive spinal symptoms. We present a case of cavernous angioma of the brain involving the genu of the corpus callosum, co-existing with spinal cord hemangioma. Involvement of the corpus callosum by a cavernous angioma is also uncommon. Intraventricular extension of this lesion was also detected.

Although bilateral optic nerve gliomas are commonly found in patients with neurofibromatosis I, extensive gliomas involving the entire visual tracts, bilaterally are relatively rare. Usually the optic radiations are spared. We report a case of a 2-year-old child with extensive disease of bilateral visual pathways with involvement of the hypothalamus manifesting as obesity.

Fifty healthy subjects underwent incremental exercise on a treadmill. Anaerobic threshold (AT) and maximum oxygen consumed in litres per minute (VO2 max) were measured. VO2 max (mean +/- SD) in males and females was 2.71 +/- 0.5 and 2.014 +/- 0.4 L/min respectively. AT as a percentage of VO2 max predicted was 58 in males and 56 in females. These values were comparable to Western studies. Anaerobic threshold is the most sensitive indicator of exercise performance.

Serum angiotensin converting enzyme (SACE) was estimated in 25 normal healthy subjects mean (15.62 +/- 6.5 mU/mL/37 degrees C), 26 patients with sarcoidosis (32.06 +/- 9.7) 15 with pulmonary tuberculosis (16.31 +/- 4.6) and 19 with diffuse interstitial lung disease (11.72 +/- 4.555). Significantly (P less than 0.05) elevated SACE values were seen in active sarcoidosis, and serial SACE levels correlated well with the course of the disease.
