Presentation and diagnosis of patients with acute abdominal pain: comparisons between Leeds, U.K. and Akershus county, Norway.

Geographical variation in clinical presentation may be a key obstacle to accurate diagnosis of patients with acute abdominal pain. This paper studies two series of patients presenting to hospital with an "acute abdomen"; 552 patients from Leeds, England and 398 patients from Akershus, Norway. The causative disease patterns and detailed clinical presentation are compared and contrasted (where appropriate) with a larger series of 6,097 patients under study by the World Organisation of Gastroenterology. Finally, the report outlines the results of implementing automated (computer-aided) diagnostic systems both in Leeds and Akershus, and the effects of adopting a structured case history form for data-recording when the patient is first seen.

Common carotid artery aneurysm after blunt trauma.

A case of false aneurysm of the common carotid artery after blunt trauma is described. We found seven other such cases in the literature. The literature is reviewed and it is concluded that this rare injury should be operated on as soon as the diagnosis has been made. Lateral excision and arteriorrhaphy, or aneurysm resection in larger lesions, are recommended.

Non-operative management of splenic rupture.

A splenectomized patient is at a significant increased risk of serious infection. Consequently, it is mandatory to avoid splenectomy whenever possible. In selective trauma cases this is feasible, either by surgical repair of the ruptured spleen or by non-operative management. Nine typical cases of splenic rupture diagnosed by scintigraphy were successfully treated non-operatively.

Radionuclide imaging of splenic laceration and trauma.

Tc-99m colloids are the pharmaceuticals preferred in the radionuclide diagnosis of splenic rupture. Spleen scintigraphy is also the preferred diagnostic method. It is rapid, safe, and reliable and should be recommended in all clinical situation where diagnosis is in doubt. A most important point is its value in following the healing of a splenic rupture managed nonoperatively or by suturing or resection, treatment modalities which are increasingly used at the present time.
