The pathologic changes resulting from liver irradiation include congestion, fibrosis, and veno-occlusive disease. We report an unusual complication of radiation induced injury: acute thrombosis of a main hepatic vein within the radiation port. CT and MR features are described and the etiology of this unusual complication is discussed.
Stenosis of the left coronary artery differs from other atheromatous lesions by the severity of the affection. It is not a rare condition as it occured in 50 out of 750 patients. Clinical and electrocardiographic signs are not truly specific and coronarography is essential for diagnosis even though this procedure carries a certain risk of accidents (2%). At a time when medical and surgical treatment of coronary insufficiency is being compared, stenosis of the left coronary insufficiency is being compared, stenosis of the left coronary artery definitely required operative intervention which improves both functional prognosis and mortality.
A case of infiltrative hematoma of the porta hepatitis and the gallbladder wall is reported. It is a rare complication of anticoagulant treatment. The sonographics findings were 1 degree an echogenic material surrounding the porta hepatis, and 2 degrees a gallbladder wall thickening. Both these lesions appeared as dense areas on computed tomography (CT) scan. The aetiologies of hemorrhagic cholecystitis are discussed.
The magnetic resonance (MR) examinations of six patients with intrahepatic calculi were reviewed retrospectively to 1) determine the ability of MR to demonstrate intrahepatic calculi and 2) assess the MR appearance of the stones. In five out of six cases, MRI demonstrated intrahepatic calculi. In three cases, stones exhibited a low intensity signal on the different spin echo (SE) sequences, as previously described by in vitro and in vivo studies. However in two other cases, a significant signal with short T1 and relatively long T2 relaxation times was noticed. These different features are discussed in relation to chemical and physical differences in intrahepatic calculi and compared with variable CT attenuation values of stones. MRI seems to provide complementary information concerning intrahepatic calculi.
Fistula between aortic graft and gastrointestinal tract is a rare and potentialy fatal complication of aortic graft surgery. This entity should be considered when criticaly ill and infected patients are encountered with on CT, entrance of contrast medium from an aortic graft in adjacent intestine.
The sonographic and CT features of a case of solitary plasmocytoma of the liver are described. Dynamic CT findings of the tumor differ only slightly from those encountered in cavernous hemangiomas. Liver biopsy under ultrasound or CT guidance followed by immunohistochemical procedure can provide prompt diagnosis of this rare solitary liver tumor.
