Successful treatment of a patient with posthepatitic severe aplastic anemia with bolus methylprednisolone.

A 31-year-old female developed severe aplastic anemia following acute non-A non-B hepatitis. Because of the impossibility of bone marrow transplantation, bolus methylprednisolone therapy was done. Soon after the therapy, pancytopenia improved. She has since taken mepitiostane and no longer needs blood transfusions. Good response to the immunosuppressive therapy suggests that the pathogenesis of this anemia is related to the immune system. In vitro culture demonstrated that the patient's serum contained a factor which suppressed hematopoietic activity, possibly gamma-interferon.

A rare type of lesser sac hernia.

We report herein the case of a female who developed a lesser sac hernia which was a rare type and was strangulated by a hole in the posterior layer of the lesser omentum. In our patient, abdominal computed tomography showed a loop of distended intestines among the liver, gallbladder and stomach. To our knowledge, there has been no previous report of transomental hernia exactly like our present case.
