Nuclear medicine studies of aging--VII. Humeral deltoid tuberosity on bone scans and radiographs.

Because of the occasional finding of increased deposition of bone imaging agent in the area of the humeral deltoid tuberosity, we analyzed both bone scans and radiographs to determine if there were age related correlations. Only 29% of patients of age 35 years or younger showed any radiographic evidence of deltoid tuberosity. This increased to 48% in the 36-64 y age group (and 46% in those of age 65 y and above). Bone scans (99mTc-MDP) of the humerus showed that 26% of individuals of ages 20-39 y had increased uptake in the deltoid tuberosity area. The figure was 21% of those in the 85-94 y age group. However, distribution between sexes in the 20-39 y age cohort was asymmetric (44% of males showed the bone scan finding, but only 15% of the females). We then reviewed cases that had shown the most prominent deltoid tuberosity on humeral radiographs. Thirteen of the 14 cases (93%) were males. Deposition of bone imaging agent in the deltoid tuberosity region was thus only slightly correlated with age (more common after age 35 y), but strongly correlated with sex (males more common) in all three major age groups (35 and under, 36-64, and 65 years and over). Possible interrelations with bone size and muscle mass were pointed out.

Pancreatic ascites: management by caudal pancreatectomy and side-to-side pancreaticojejunostomy.

A patient with pancreatic ascites is presented who had neither a pseudocyst nor demonstrable pancreatic duct disruption, despite the presence of both calculi and strictures in a dilated duct of Wirsung. Concurrently, the patient exhibited intractable abdominal pain characteristic of end-stage chronic alcoholic pancreatitis. The pancreatic ascites responded only briefly to nonoperative management with hyperalimentation. Side-to-side pancreticojejunostomy with caudal pancreatectomy relieved the patient of both pain and ascites, suggesting that this more direct approach may be worthy of consideration in patients with similar findings.

Malformation of bronchopulmonary foregut with systemic and pulmonary arterial blood supply.

A case of congenital malformation of the bronchopulmonary foregut with communication between the esophagus and sequestered lobe is reported in a six-month-old boy. Only 29 similar cases have been reported previously, and this case was especially unusual in that the communication was from the middle portion of the esophagus to a right apical sequestration. Another unusual feature was that the sequestered segment was supplied by four systemic arteries from the thoracic aorta, as well as by branches from the right pulmonary artery. Within the sequestration, there was shunting of blood from the systemic to pulmonary arterties with reversal of flow in the pulmonary arterial branches.

Diagnosis of urethral diverticula in females.

Female urethral diverticula are probably a more common cause of symptomatology than is generally suspected. Radiologic techniques may play a key role in their demonstration. Particularly in the patient with clinical findings referable to the urethral area, fluoroscopy of the urethra as part of cystography as well as the use of urethral catheters may be helpful in diagnosis.
