[Three cases of traumatic lung cyst].

There are few reports of nonpenetrating blunt chest trauma causing traumatic lung cyst. Three young male cases of traumatic lung cysts from motor vehicle accident were reported. Two of them, 25 and 17 years old male, had benign clinical courses by conservative management. But in another case of 25-year-old male, lung abscess followed infection of lung cyst occurred despite antibiotic therapy. A left lower lobectomy and a partial resection of left upper lobe was performed 46 days after the injury. Culture of the contents of the abscess confirmed Acinetobacter. His subsequent recovery was uneventful and he was discharged one month after the operation.

[Treatment of renal vein thrombosis associated with nephrotic syndrome].

Renal vein thrombosis is a rare entity in which true incidence is unknown. The disease occurs most frequently in patients with nephrotic syndrome, but it also can occur in the presence of other hypercoagulable state. Two cases of renal vein thrombosis with nephrotic syndrome which were treated by thrombectomy are reported here. One patient was successfully treated by renal vein and inferior vena cava thrombectomy before developing severe pulmonary embolism. The other was treated by renal vein thrombectomy by which fatal shock was able to be prevented. In those cases, immediate operation was indicated, primarily to prevent additional, possibly fatal, pulmonary embolism and also to improve perfusion of the kidney. In the hope of salvaging the kidney, thrombectomy may be the treatment of choice for acute renal vein thrombosis, complication of pulmonary embolism and inferior vena cava thrombosis, right renal vein thrombosis without collateral flow and acute renal vein thrombosis with shock.
