CT appearance of afferent loop obstruction.

Obstruction of the afferent loop may develop in patients who have had a Billroth type II gastrojejunostomy. This obstructed loop has a characteristic but initially confusing computed tomographic appearance that might be mistaken for multiple peripancreatic cystic masses. Three cases of afferent loop obstruction due to gastric carcinoma are reported. In each case, the length of the jejunal segment incorporated into the afferent loop determined the number of cystic masses evident at each scan level. Recognition of the typical anatomic configuration and uniform size of these cystic masses is key to the correct diagnosis.

Sarcoidosis of the larynx.

Sarcoid involvement of the larynx is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of systemic sarcoidosis. A classic, clinical, radiologic, and pathologic case is presented.

The choledochocele: correlation of radiological, clinical and pathological findings.

Two cases of choledochocele are presented and 14 cases in the literature reviewed. Choledochocele is defined as a herniation of the common bile duct into the duodenum. This entity is distinguishable radiographically from duodenal diverticulum and duodenal duplication cyst by filling during cholangiography but not during upper gastrointestinal series. The duodenal diverticulum fills on upper gastrointestinal series but not on cholangiography. The duplication cyst will not fill with either method.

Lumbar herniation of the spleen.

Hernias of the lumbar region are rare but have been reported to occur after trauma, flank surgery, iliac bone grafting, spontaneously, or as a result of congenital abnormality of musculoskeletal development. The acquired type is more common than the congenital type. The contents of the hernia most commonly are retroperitoneal fat, kidney, and bowel. We report a case of an asymptomatic postincisional lumbar herniation of a spleen that was diagnosed by computed tomography.

Computed tomographic evaluation of spigelian hernia.

Spigelian hernia is an uncommon hernia of the anterior abdominal wall. Because of its insidious nature and at times nonspecific physical findings associated with it, the diagnosis of this hernia is often not made. Typically, the hernial orifice is small, and strangulation of the contents of the hernial sac can occur. Computed tomography permits the distinction between spigelian hernia and other anterior abdominal wall or intra-abdominal masses. When a spigelian hernia is found, CT is useful in establishing contents of the hernial sac and defects in the fascial plane.

CT-appearance of intraluminal duodenal diverticulum. The "halo" sign.

The barium appearance of intraluminal duodenal diverticulum has been classically described as a "windsock" appearance. However, the CT-scan appearance of this abnormality has not been well documented. A case report of a patient with intraluminal duodenal diverticulum is presented. The authors believe the CT-scan findings in the patient are virtually pathognomonic for this lesion and propose the term "halo" sign be applied to this previously undescribed finding.
