Computed tomography as an adjunct in the staging of Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.

Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen has been evaluated as an adjunct in the staging of 25 patients with Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Enlarged para-aortic nodes were consistently identified as were splenomegaly and larger splenic nodules. While lymphography and other staging procedures remain necessary in the evaluation of such patients, CT provides additional information useful to the surgeon. The cross-sectional display aids in the planning of appropriate therapy ports since the adenopathy is often found to be more extensive than was demonstrated at lymphography.

Hemobilia and pancreatitis as complication of a percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram.

Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) was performed on a 23-year-old male because of an atypical progression of hepatitis B antigen-negative hepatitis. No bile duct was entered and the procedure was uneventful. However, celiac angiography the day following PTC revealed abnormal liver vessels in the target area and the patient developed hemobilia and clinical pancreatitis, causing common bile duct obstruction. Symptomatology persisted until celiotomy 32 days after PTC. Clots were found obstructing the bile duct. This case is presented both because of the unusual complications of PTC and the unusual angiographic abnormalities. It is suggested that when there is a specific indication for the procedure either to differentiate cholestatic jaundice from extrahepatic jaundice or to localize a site of abstruction before surgical intervention.

The Budd-Chiari syndrome: angiography and its complications.

Four patients with the Budd-Chiari syndrome are presented. Hepatic venography and inferior vena cavography confirmed the diagnosis in these patients. Angiography was used to evaluate the liver and the superior mesenteric and portal venous drainage. Contrast medium complications, ranging from nausea to renal shut-down and death, were encountered in three of these patients, an unusually high number of angiographic complications. The role of angiography in the Budd-Chiari syndrome is assessed.
