Bilateral popliteal arteriovenous fistulas.

An unusual case of bilateral popliteal arteriovenous fistulas is reported. The patient reported right leg discomfort and swelling 1 month after multiple gunshot wounds to both legs; the left leg was asymptomatic. Arteriography demonstrated AV fistulas in both popliteal arteries. The importance of a high index of suspicion in making the diagnosis is emphasized.

Diffuse interstitial lung disease in neurofibromatosis.

An association of neurofibromatosis with diffuse interstitial lung disease is thought to exist, though there have been relatively few large studies of it. The pulmonary manifestations consist of diffuse interstitial fibrosis or formation of bullae, or a combination of both. Our experience with this disease process during a ten-year period shows slightly less than a 7% incidence of diffuse interstitial lung disease in our patients with neurofibromatosis. We include a case of neurofibromatosis and diffuse lung disease that is somewhat unusual in the formation of bullae in the lower lobe, in contradistinction to its marked upper lobe predominance.

Graft patency evaluation with DSA after reconstructive venous surgery.

Evaluation of graft patency following reconstructive venous surgery may be difficult, especially in patients in whom a distal arteriovenous fistula has been constructed. We describe a method of visualizing these venous bypass grafts using digital subtraction angiography that is easy and provides satisfactory results.

Percutaneous catheter drainage of post-traumatic urinoma.

We report a case that demonstrates that percutaneous catheter drainage may be considered as an alternative to surgical intervention in the treatment of urinomas, especially when there is no persistent ureteral obstruction.

Partial priapism: the role of CT in its diagnosis.

Partial priapism is a rare condition. Unlike the typical cases of priapism where the diagnosis is obvious on physical examination, partial priapism generally is initially seen as a perineal mass, and the diagnosis is more difficult. In our case, computed tomography helped make a differential diagnosis of partial priapism.
