Migrations of fluid of pancreatic origin: ultrasonic and CT study of 28 cases.

Efficacious management of migratory collections of pancreatic origin requires precise topographic diagnosis. Such collections can be multiple, atypical and ubiquitous, extending from the mediastinum down to the pelvis, within peritoneal recesses and retroperitoneal spaces, and even within viscera such as the liver, spleen or kidney. Sonography and CT are complementary in the diagnosis and management of such collections.

Evaluation of the pancreatic duct: a reappraisal based on a retrospective correlative study by sonography and pancreatography in 117 normal and pathologic subjects.

A retrospective study of 117 normal and pathologic pancreatic ducts by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), with ultrasonic correlation in 80 cases, confirmed the value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of ductal dilatation. The specificity of ultrasound is good: the ultrasonic discovery of a dilatation constitutes a relevant feature. Sensitivity is however poor, particularly in moderate and localized dilatations: a suggestive clinical picture requires ERCP even if sonography is in favor of a normal pancreatic duct. Correlative measurements show discrepancies, with higher ERCP values in normal subjects. The average ERCP diameter in the corporeal ductal segment is 2.6 mm. Until correlative results arising from a prospective study are available, the ultrasonic diagnosis of ductal dilatation must take into account the high normal values demonstrated by ERCP.

Pulmonary embolism from a parasitic cardiac clot secondary to hepatic alveolar echinococcosis.

An exceptional form of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis with metastasis of the right atrium is reported. This cardiac location of the parasitosis was revealed by attacks of pulmonary embolism which produced secondary pulmonary lesions. This case suggests that pulmonary metastases of alveolar echinococcosis of the liver might be due to the migration of parasitic clots from the hepatic veins.
