[Delayed intestinal obstruction due to a seatbelt].

During blunt abdominal trauma the small bowel and/or its mesentery may be injured; if abdominal trauma occurs after compression by an incorrectly-applied seat belt, underlying viscera may be crushed between the vertebral and the seat belt; ischemia or infarction of the intestinal wall, and delayed fibrosis and stenosis may occur. We present a patient, operated on two months after blunt abdominal trauma, with small bowel obstruction secondary to post-traumatic intestinal fibrosis. Assuming that this condition is rarely suspected, a delayed diagnosis and treatment of these patients may occur.

Addisonian crisis as the presenting feature of bilateral primary adrenal lymphoma.

The authors report a patient with a primary lymphoma of the adrenal glands presenting as acute adrenal failure. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the adrenal glands revealed a non-Hodgkin lymphoma of predominantly small cleaved cells and a low degree of malignancy. The absence of abnormal findings in clinical, bone marrow, and computed tomography scan examinations supports the diagnosis of primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the adrenal glands. Chemotherapy produced a complete functional recovery, and tumoral masses disappeared after the first three cycles of treatment.

[Hyperprolactinemia associated with acute intermittent porphyria].

Galactorrhea as the result of hyperprolactinemia has been described in very rare cases associated to acute outbreaks of intermittent acute porphyria (IAP). In our country, any of such cases have been published or analytically documented. We present the case of a patient admitted in our hospital for the study of abdominal pain and galactorrhea, with latter diagnosis of IAP, supported by the assessment of the activity of the enzyme showing a deficit in the red blood cells.
