RESUMO
PURPOSE: To describe a technique for micro catheterization of the external ophthalmic artery (EO) in pigs for investigational and training purposes. METHODS: Carotid angiography was performed in seven male domestic pigs. The external ophthalmic artery was reached with a microcatheter in order to administer a neoplastic drug in the eye. RESULTS: The external ophthalmic artery could be found arising from the infraorbital (IO) artery in the bend of the internal maxillary (IM) artery. It could be reached in every animal. CONCLUSION: Following anatomic landmarks of the external carotid (EC) artery the ophthalmic artery can be easily reached and catheterized for training and investigational purposes.

The peak frequency of Hodgkin?s disease converges matches with women of reproductive fertility age. Currently, this disease is the fourth more diagnosed neoplasia during pregnancy. In addition, there is no consensus in the literature on how to treat pregnant women because of the risks of chemotherapy for mothers and for fetuses.We report three cases of pregnant women with Hodgkin?' disease. A review of the literature was made aiming to suggest a protocol to treat these patients.
O pico de incidência do linfoma de Hodgkin coincide com a idade fértil feminina, sendo atualmente a quarta neoplasia mais diagnosticada na gravidez. Entretanto, não existe consenso na literatura sobre como tratar essas pacientes, devido aos riscos da quimioterapia tanto para a gestante quando para o feto. Relatamos três casos de gestantes acometidas por linfoma de Hodgkin e realizamos a revisão de literatura com o objetivo sugerir um protocolo de tratamento para essas pacientes.
