J. L. Strife et al.: Tracheal position with right aortic arch

arch is not seen on plain films, high kilovolt selective filtration mediastinal views may be helpful [12] in evaluating the trachea but the position of the aortic arch may be more difficult. Swischuk suggests that expiratory chest views be utilized [4]. In expiration, the normal trachea moves to the right. If the trachea remains fixed or in the midline, an underlying right-sided aortic arch should be suspected. In patients with esophageal atresia, Day advocates chest computed tomography if the aortic arch is not clearly identified on plain chest radiograph or barium swallow [13]. Real time echocardiography may also be useful in assessing the position of the aortic arch, particularly in newborns. Acknowledgements. We would like to thank Brenda Moore and Marlena Tyre for secretarial assistance in the preparation of the manuscript.

dominal and pelvic vessels [8]. In the present case, duplex Doppler ultrasound clearly documented normal blood flow cephalad to the calcified thrombus and at the level of the thrombus in the IVC, thereby confirming patency. Normal bilateral renal vein blood flow effectively excluded extension of uncalcified thrombus into the renal veins. Transhepatic and retroperitoneal collateral venous blood flow was easily excluded. This study demonstrates the ease and usefulness of duplex Doppler ultrasound in the noninvasive evaluation of IVC thrombosis. Once the intraluminal presence of the thrombus is confirmed by realtime ultrasound, pulsed-Doppler can be used as a simple, qualitative means of assessing IVC patency and abdominal venous collateral flow, thereby obviating the need for invasive diagnostic procedures.

E. R. Nairn and S. Chapman: Lethal short-limbed dwarfism

lar matrix which is unlike that seen in chondrodysplasia punctata and there was also no fibrous metaplasia or fatty change. The "egg-shell" like cortex of the bone is unusual and not seen in osteogenesis imperfecta where the bone trabeculae are thicker and there is a normal growth plate. The transverse lucent defects in the ribs, ilia and scapulae are striking radiotogical signs. The symmetrical distribution suggests that they are not fractures. Only case 3 showed the defects in the ilia and scapulae but this infant had the youngest gestational age which may indicate that they are a transient abnormality only. Smith et al. [5] described rib-gap defects in an infant who died after 8 hours but apart from micrognathia the remainder of the skeleton was normal. The mid portions of the long bones are, histologically, healing fractures with callus formation. The condition does, therefore bear some similarity to osteogenesis imperfecta in which poor ossification is combined with normal fracture healing and even abundant callus formation. Astley & Kendall [6] described a still born infant who showed very similar radiological abnormalities to our 3 cases (Table 1) and we believe all 4 cases represent the same condition. The father in the family we have described has a brother who has had a male infant with similar radiological findings to those described above but the details were not avail-

able to us. Inheritance is likely to be autosomal recessive. Acknowledgements. We wish to thank Miss B.Ginz and Dr. M. Addy for allowing us to report their cases, Miss A.

Book review Heitzman, E.R.: The Mediastinum, 2nd edn. Radiologic Correlations with Anatomy and Pathology. Berlin, Heidelberg, New York: Springer 1988. XIV, 355 pp., 302 Figs., (ISBN 3-540-18727-8), hard cover DM 248,-. The mediastinum is one of the most difficult anatomic regions for the radiologist. CT and MRI have added much information. Nevertheless, conventional radiology is still the basic imaging method for analyzing the mediastinum. The second edition of the book, The mediastinum, presents the reader with new aspects concerning the mediastinal struc-

tures. Seven chhpters deal with the whole mediastinum: the thoracic inlet, anterior mediastinum, supra-aortic area, infra-aortic area, supra-acygos area, infra-acygos area, and hilum. The sophisticated text is illustrated by excellent photographs and drawings. The specimens selected are especially impressive and the combination with X-rays a n d / o r CT provides much new information. This book is a must for radiologists and an excellent source for all physicians who work with chest X-ray films. J. Trrger (Heidelberg)
