Computed tomographic evaluation of paraesophageal hernia.

Paraesophageal hernias are relatively rare compared to the more commonly diagnosed sliding hiatus hernia. They tend to be asymptomatic initially, but may gradually enlarge and present with life-threatening complications. The treatment is surgical reduction, preferably as an elective procedure. Computed tomography (CT) clearly demonstrates a paraesophageal hernia through a widened esophageal hiatus, often as an incidental finding, and accurately documents the size, contents, and orientation of the herniated stomach within the lower thoracic cavity. In this report, the CT appearance of 4 patients with paraesophageal hernias is described along with a discussion of this uncommon but important surgical condition.

Rhythmic auditory stimulation in generalized epilepsy.

Activation of spike-wave discharges by photic stimulations (PS) and rhythmic auditory stimulations (AS) was investigated in 40 patients with generalized epilepsy and 25 controls. PS produced spike-wave discharges in 23 (55%) and AS in 12 (33%) cases. In 4 patients AS activated spike-wave discharges but PS failed to do so. AS may be occasionally used in generalized epilepsy as an activating method when standard procedures such as hyperventilation and PS fail.

Oncogenic osteomalacia. A case report.

Oncogenic osteomalacia is a rare condition characterized by the development of pain and fractures in a patient with specific laboratory abnormalities consisting of hypophosphatemia, hyperphosphaturia, and decreased 1,25-OH vitamin D levels. The clinical scenario is completed by the association of this osteomalacic state with the finding of a neoplastic process in the afflicted patient. The authors report a patient in whom the diagnosis of oncogenic osteomalacia was established and treatment begun despite the fact that the associated tumor (benign undifferentiated tumor of meschymal origin) escaped detection for many months. Following discovery of the tumor and identification by magnetic resonance imaging, the patient was cured by surgical resection.

Synchronous multicentric desmoid tumors (aggressive fibromatosis) of the extremities.

Synchronous multicentric aggressive fibromatosis does not appear to have been previously reported. Two such cases are described. The tumors were identified by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The incidence of synchronous multicentric aggressive fibromatosis is not known. It is anticipated that increased use of coronal MR imaging will reveal more tumors of this type, both synchronous and metachronous. In a patient with known or suspected aggressive fibromatosis, every other soft tissue nodule or mass in the same limb has to be regarded as an additional tumor of the same histology.
