Sonically guided renal biopsy.

The results of 91 sonically guided renal biopsies are reported. In the 53 cases where renal size and function allowed other localization techniques, renal tissue was obtained in 100 percent and glomeruli in 88.6 percent. In 38 cases no other techniques could have been used because of poor renal function (serum creatinine greater than or equal to 4.0 mg/dl) and/or decreased renal size (less than or equal to 10 cm); in these biopsies renal tissue was obtained in 86.8 percent and glomeruli in 73.7 percent.

Spontaneous internal jugular vein thrombosis: primary manifestation of a colorectal adenocarcinoma in a very old woman.

We report the history of a very old woman with a spontaneous internal jugular vein thrombosis as the presenting feature of an occult adenocarcinoma of the caecum. Spontaneous internal jugular vein thrombosis is an unusual form of venous thrombosis. Doppler ultrasound and Computed Tomography or Magnetic Resonance Imaging should confirm signs and symptoms suggesting thrombosis. Immediate anticoagulation with heparin followed by oral anticoagulation is mandatory to reduce associated mortality and morbidity. If no risk factors for internal jugular vein thrombosis are present, a work-up for hypercoagulable states and a careful search for distant malignancy should been obtained. If screening shows no obvious malignancy, further follow-up is necessary.
