[Uncommon cause of respiratory distress in the post-anaesthesia care unit].

We report a case of respiratory distress in the post anesthesia care unit following general anaesthesia for a dilatation and curettage related to miscarriage in a 32-year-old woman. The preoperative physical examination showed no abnormalities except for the presence of dry cough during the preceding two or three days. A few minutes after her arrival in the PACU, the patient developed hyperthermia till 40.6 degrees C, cough, polypnea and oxygen desaturation (SpO(2): 82% on FiO(2): 40%). A thoraco-abdominal angioscanner showed pulmonary basal condensations and a thrombosis of the right ovarian vein. The patient had to be transferred to the intensive care unit where she remained intubated and ventilated during 13 days because of a Haemophilus influenzae pneumonia.

[Cardiac imaging by means of four-detector row computed tomography and cardiac gating].

Electrocardiographically-assisted imaging is a recent development in multislice spiral computed tomography. In this article, we summarize the principles of four-detector row CT for cardiac applications. Following is an overview of the potential of this technique to evaluate the heart, the thoracic aorta, and the paracardiac pulmonary parenchyma. Technical considerations for optimal imaging are highlighted.

Angiomyolipoma of the liver: ferumoxides-enhanced MR imaging.

We report a case of angiomyolipoma of the liver with emphasis on the appearance at MRI after administration of ferumoxides. Post-contrast T1- and T2-weighted images showed a frank decrease of signal intensity in a rim on the margin of the tumor. This unusual finding was related to the presence of an increased number of CD68-positive histiocytic cells in the periphery of the lesion and in the adjacent liver parenchyma.

Time dependence of serial diffusion-weighted imaging features in a case of pyogenic brain abscess.

Both signal intensity on trace images and apparent diffusion coefficient measurements on mapped images evolved rapidly on serial diffusion-weighted sequences in a case of pyogenic brain abscess that was monitored primarily by MRI before a biopsy was performed. Considering only the signal intensities on the trace images would have led to an underestimation of the intrinsic tissue changes.

An unusual cause of abdominal pain.

A 36-year-old woman presented to the Emergency Room because of abdominal pain associated with hematuria and red blood blending to stool. On admission, the physical examination revealed abdominal tenderness and diffuse cutaneous hematoma. The laboratory findings showed abnormal clotting tests with high International Normalised Ratio (INR) and prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time. Hemoperitoneum and ureteral hematoma were noted on the abdomen computed tomography. The patient confessed she had ingested difenacoum for several weeks. All the symptoms resolved with fresh frozen plasma perfusion and vitamin K.
