RESUMO
A young girl who presented with raised intracranial pressure was thought to have a tumour in the parieto-temporal region, where a "tumour circulation" was seen on carotid angiography. However this lesion proved not to be a tumour but intra-cerebral and subdural haematomata, secondary to thrombocytopaenic purpura for which she has since be treated by splenectomy. (AU)

An anomoly referable to the first branchial cleft is reported. This is a rare lesion and the thirteenth to be recorded after an extensive study of the literature. The embryology is discussed and emphasis is directed to the means by which diagnosis may be made and surgical management undertaken. The success of excision is dependent on anticipation of the course taken by the fistulous tract in such cases (Summary)

Amputations must be performed where possible to meet the requirements of the limb fitter. The essentials in the technique of the common lower limb amputation are described. A good amputation stump can be produced with a little extra effort on the part of the surgeon. It give him pleasure to see and the patient years of trouble free service. (AU)
