'Decubitus' of renal graft on psoas muscle. Local changes of cortical thickness and function in the graft.

Using computerized tomography (CT scan), it was demonstrated that the renal cortex of the graft was thinner in the contact area with the psoas muscle than in the rest of the kidney and that its function in the local area appeared somewhat decreased. These findings might be related to the importance of the perirenal fat in shielding the kidney from mechanical pressure.

Ankle arthroscopy in the lateral decubitus position.

Ankle or subtalar arthroscopy is a commonly performed procedure. It is often desirable to perform a diagnostic or therapeutic ankle arthroscopy followed by an open lateral ankle or hindfoot surgery. Standard positioning for ankle or subtalar arthroscopy is supine with or without the use of noninvasive distractor. In order to save operative time and avoid repositioning and redraping the patient intraoperatively, the authors have developed a positioning technique for performing ankle or subtalar arthroscopy, as well as anterior or medial procedures, followed by sequential procedures of the lateral ankle or hindfoot.

Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma to the heart. Unusual cause of angina decubitus and cardiac murmur.

A 61-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with the new onset of angina at rest and an ECG consistent with anterior wall ischemia. She was also noted to have a new cardiac murmur. Eighteen months earlier, she had been treated for squamous cell carcinoma of the base of the tongue. Thirteen months ago, she had local recurrence treated with radiotherapy, but had no evidence of recurrent or metastatic disease at the time of present admission. Echocardiography revealed intracardiac and extracardiac masses; surgical biopsy confirmed metastatic carcinoma to the heart which was responsible for her symptoms and the new murmur. Symptomatic cardiac metastases from squamous cell carcinoma is an unusual situation which, in this case, was easily diagnosed with echocardiography.
