Nonmucosal eosinophilic gastroenteritis: sonographic appearance at presentation and during follow-up of response to prednisone therapy.

This case describes the sonographic appearance of eosinophilic gastroenteritis before and during prednisone treatment. The dramatic clinical and sonographic response to prednisone therapy confirmed the diagnosis. Sonography is a quick, low-cost, and noninvasive means of diagnosing eosinophilic gastroenteritis and together with other clinical, laboratory, and endoscopic data may prevent unnecessary and potentially dangerous abdominal surgery.

[Acute pancreatitis complicating biliary distomatosis caused by Fasciola hepatica in a patient with a choledochal diverticulum].

A 43 years old man presented with acute pancreatitis following 13 years of mild grade hepatic colitis and angiocholitis. The absence of visible gall stone evocated the possibility of millithiasis. The operation discovered a big and hard head of the pancreas and an hypertrophied choledocal mucous membrane and the microscopic analysis of bladder's bile, ova of Fasciola hepatica. A control opacification on the 7th day revealed an adult fluke and a small diverticulum which were not visible on the roentgenogram at the time of the operation. Seven infusions of 60 mg de dehydroemetin permitted to eliminate the fluke with only a peak of fever. The diagnostic, pathophysiologic and therapeutic implications are discussed.
