In this paper, attention is focused on the criminal offense of extortion of statement, with the intention of the author to take a comprehensive look at the criminal law (substantive) and procedural aspect of this criminal offense. The application of repression in itself always represents a challenge in terms of legal application by persons entrusted with certain powers, given the tendency to humanize modern criminal law in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which sets high standards for competent procedural subjects. In connection with the above, the component of the efficiency of the investigation and the criminal procedure in general must not in any case be at the expense of respecting the basic human rights and freedoms of the participants in the criminal procedure. The actions of competent procedural entities are prescribed and conditioned by restrictive legal conditions in all procedural stages, starting from the initial knowledge (grounds of suspicion) of the existence of a criminal case until the end of the criminal proceedings. Precisely because of the above, it is necessary to observe this criminal offense through the prism of the general legal and social context, in order to understand properly the legal nature as well as the material and procedural specifics of the criminal offense of extortion of testimony.

Isolated cavernous and venous angiomas are common vascular cerebral malformations but their association is less frequent. Presence of venous angioma enhances the risk of bleeding from cavernous angioma. Also, this association is important for surgical planning. While early extirpation of cavernous angioma is recommended, the associated venous angioma has to be preserved due to the possible venous infarction. We report a case of venous angioma associated with cavernous angioma revealed by magnetic resonance imaging after the administration of contrast material, which was not visualised on unenhanced MRI images. The importance of contrast administration in the diagnosis of venous angioma in a close vicinity of cavernous is emphasised in this report.
