US demonstration of a thrombosed persistent median artery in carpal tunnel syndrome.

Median artery of the forearm and wrist is not very frequently observed because it normally involutes before birth. Only a few cases of persistent median artery thrombosis associated with compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel have been reported. In these cases symptoms arise suddenly and surgery consists of the excision of the thrombosed arterial branch. In cases of large persistent unthrombosed median artery associated with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), excision of the unthrombosed median artery is not indicated because it may sometimes substantially contribute to the circulation of the hand. We report the case of a 39-year-old man with CTS associated with a thrombosis of a persistent median artery detected by high-resolution US and Doppler ultrasound. US can be also useful to exclude other causes of CTS such as tenosynovitis of the flexor tendons, ganglion cyst, musculotendinous variants, and various soft tissue tumors.

[Multislice computed tomography in clinical practice].

This paper presents our first experience with multislice computed tomography emphasizing our technical protocols. Between November 1999 and October 2000, 8086 multislice computed tomographic examinations were performed. The choice in collimation, pitch, slice width and increment, multiplanar reconstructions and contrast enhancement were adapted to provide high resolution in the Z axis, high speed acquisitions and low exposure to the patient. Filming and archiving parameters are also detailed. Multislice CT provides excellent 3D imaging with high speed acquisitions and lower doses than previously reported with single slice CT.

Calcific tendinitis of the gluteus maximus tendon: CT findings.

Two cases of calcific tendinitis of gluteus maximus muscle are presented. The CT findings, including amorphous calcification without soft tissue mass and possible cortical erosion at the femoral enthesis of the gluteus maximus muscle, are highly suggestive of calcific tendinitis at this unusual but classical location. Ossifying entheses with well-defined cortical defect are frequent at the femoral insertion of the gluteus maximus muscle in asymptomatic subjects and must be differentiated from a real cortical erosion sometimes associated with these calcific tendinitis.

Primary biliary cirrhosis and bone changes.

Two cases of primary biliary cirrhosis with bone lesions are reported. In one case radiographic findings in the hands and right shoulder are found to be characteristic of primary biliary cirrhosis rather than other concomitant diseases present in the patient which are also susceptible to produce bone lesions. The second case is an example of less specific bone changes which may be attributed to primary biliary cirrhosis or other rheumatoid disease.
