[Comparative study of echotomography and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography in the diagnosis of obstructive jaundice].

The authors compare the results of sonography (US) and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) in the study of 48 patients with obstructive jaundice. The results obtained were correlated to various diagnostic levels and to the different causes of obstruction. The analysis of the results led the authors to believe that, in most cases, the association of both techniques is absolutely necessary in order to define the whole diagnostic picture.

Therapeutic embolization of polycystic kidneys.

In two patients with end-stage polycystic kidneys suffering from severe and protracted hematuria recourse was made to therapeutic renal embolization. Hematuria stopped immediately, never to appear again, whilst recanalization of the arterial renal circulation was observed later. Since the therapeutic embolization of kidneys in patients with end-stage uremia is exceedingly risky and, therefore, unadvised, it is regarded only in the case of a bleeding polycystic kidney as implementable and more effective than nephrectomy.

[Radiologic diagnosis of the retroperitoneal masses (author's transl)].

A series of 75 patients with retroperitoneal masses (60 malignant and 15 benign tumours) have been studied. Urography and angiography were employed. The results of the two methods are correlated. The following criteria are taken into consideration: a) site; b) nature; c) extension of the mass. The importance of a precise definition of the extension of the tumour is stressed. In fact this can greatly influence the choice of the therapy.

[Hemorrhage in the Wirsung's duct caused by aneurysm of the splenic artery in chronic pancreatitis].

Two cases of haemorrhage from rupture of a splenic artery aneurysm into the pancreatic duct are reported. Both patients suffered from chronic pancreatitis; when haemorrhage appeared both patients experienced abdominal pain. In one patient the melaena was repetitive, in the other one--with a single episode of melaena - the endoscopy showed fresh blood near the papilla. In both patients ultrasonography and computerized tomography (CT) revealed a cystic mass in the pancreatic tail; CT scan also showed a clear contrast enhancement of these lesions after iodinated medium intravenous bolus. Coeliac arteriography confirmed the presence of two large saccular aneurysmal dilatation of the splenic artery. Both patients underwent a laparotomy: distal pancreatectomy with aneurysm resection and splenectomy were successfully performed.
