[Utero-vaginal duplication with hematocolpus. Diagnosis by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)].

A 21-year-old woman with complete uterus-vaginal duplication, hemivaginal obstruction and ipsilateral renal agenesis is presented. Ultrasonography shows uterus duplication with a parauterine cystic mass. MRI demonstrated uterus duplication and also a para/infra uterine mass with T1 and T2 weighted high-signal-intensity disclosing its serohematic nature. Surgical procedure confirmed the MRI findings.

[The endovascular treatment of hemoptysis].

We studied 18 patients, 9 women and 9 men, ranging in age from 18 to 76 years. The main symptom was hemoptysis and the underlying pathology was tuberculosis, actinomycosis, lung cancer, metastatic carcinoma and systemic lupus. Nonsurgical patients, with recurrent hemoptysis or massive bleeding were selected. The embolization substances were spongostan, avitene (R) and PVA; they all produce temporary as well as persistent hemostasis. The procedure was successful in 16 patients. In two patients the embolization was not performed, one for technical reasons and the other because the vessel to be treated was the source of an anterior spinal artery. It is considered that the endovascular treatment constitutes an alternative for hemoptysis, even during the acute period, mainly in the management of nonsurgical patients.

Emergency selective aortography for acute lesions of the thoracic aorta.

Emergency selective aortography is necessary for the definitive diagnosis of acute lesions of the thoracic aorta and defines their therapeutic possibilities. Cineradiography is very helpful and is complementary fo the roentgenograms. In this paper the study of dissecting aneurysms, tears of the aortic wall, ruptured aortic aneurysms and traumatic aortic lacerations is described. A new anatomic classification of dissecting aneurysms combined with that of De Bakey et al. is presented.
