We report a case of gastric pneumatosis with findings of air in the retroperitoneal and mediastinal spaces demonstrated by plain radiographs and computed tomography. Pneumatosis was considered to be due to gastric distention caused by involvement of the gastric outlet by disseminated hepatocellular carcinoma and was possibly promoted by intake of steroids and local radiotherapy. 相似文献

Cystic pneumatosis of the colon is a rare condition characterized by the presence of multiple gas-filled cysts within the colonic wall. We report a case of idiopathic cystic pneumatosis of the colon and stress the role of imaging in the diagnosis, evaluation and clinical management of this rare disease. We present endoscopic, endosonographic and CT findings including results of virtual colonoscopy. 相似文献

CT and MR imaging findings in adults with cerebellar medulloblastoma: comparison with findings in children. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The goal of this study was to determine if certain imaging features suggest the diagnosis of cerebellar medulloblastoma in adults and to determine how often the classic CT appearance seen in children is present in adults. The study included 28 adult patients with proved cerebellar medulloblastoma. The tumor was located in the cerebellar vermis in 14 patients and in a cerebellar hemisphere in 14 patients. Thirteen patients had unenhanced CT of the brain, all patients had contrast-enhanced CT, and eight patients had unenhanced MR imaging. The imaging features in adults were compared with those in children, as described in the literature. In our adult patients, all tumors were hyperdense compared with gray matter on unenhanced CT and showed a slight to moderate increase in density after injection of contrast medium. Thirteen lesions had well-defined margins, and 15 had poorly defined margins. Low-density areas consistent with cystic and necrotic degeneration were detected in 23 (82%) of the 28 tumors. By comparison, in children, medulloblastoma usually originates in the vermis. As in adults, the mass is hyperdense on unenhanced CT, but enhances markedly and homogeneously after injection of contrast medium. Usually no evidence of cyst formation or necrosis is seen, and the tumor margins are well defined. This classic CT appearance of medulloblastoma in children was identified in only three (11%) of the 28 adult patients. Medulloblastoma has a variable MR appearance in both children and adults. On T2-weighted images, lesions are hypo-, iso-, or hyperintense compared with normal gray matter. The CT findings of medulloblastoma in adults usually differ from those of medulloblastoma in children. The tumor has a variable and nonspecific appearance in adults and should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of a mass in the posterior fossa. 相似文献

Gastric pneumatosis is a rare form of intestinal pneumatosis related to a wide range of abnormalities, which by itself may
not engender adverse consequences. Portal vein gas, on the other hand, has traditionally been regarded as a life-threatening
condition associated with mesenteric ischemia and immediate surgery; however, recent observations have demonstrated a greater
spectrum of etiologies associated with portal vein gas in which the prognosis seems to be more favorable and surgery is not
necessary. We report the case of a 42-year-old man who developed gastric pneumatosis and portal vein gas after major abdominal
trauma. The patient was conservatively treated. Follow-up CT performed 4 days later revealed that portal vein gas and gastric
pneumatosis had resolved spontaneously. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: A broad spectrum of benign renal neoplasms in adults shows characteristic ontogeny, histology, and tumor biology. Benign renal tumors are classified into renal cell tumors, metanephric tumors, mesenchymal tumors, and mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumors. Select benign tumors show characteristic anatomic distribution and imaging features. However, because of overlapping of findings between benign and malignant renal tumors, histologic evaluation may be required to establish a definitive diagnosis. Accurate preoperative characterization facilitates optimal patient management. CONCLUSION: We attempt to provide a comprehensive, contemporary review of benign renal neoplasms that occur in adults, focusing on cross-sectional imaging characteristics. 相似文献

Intestinal pneumatosis (IP) has been traditionally associated with intestinal infarction and poor outcome in adults; recent
studies have questioned its clinical value. To assess its diagnostic and prognostic significance, we have retrospectively
evaluated 102 patients correlating the CT finding of gastrointestinal parietal gas with clinical data and outcome. Fifty-three
patients (52%) had surgical evidence of intestinal infarction. In the remaining patients, a variety of lesions were found
including intestinal obstruction, cancer, volvulus, ulcer, hernia, trauma, Crohn's disease, diverticulitis, and iatrogenic
causes. We observed the presence of portal vein gas (PVG) associated to IP in 25.5% of cases. In patients having both IP and
PVG, intestinal infarction was observed in 69.2% of cases. In our series, overall mortality was 30.4% (31/102), and when PVG
was present, it rose to 50% (13/26). In our study, IP has been observed in a broad range of lesions with very different prognosis,
the most frequent of which was intestinal infarction. When associated to PVG, there was a much higher prevalence of intestinal
infarct, and the prognosis was definitively worse. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Acute suppurative neck infections associated with branchial fistulas are frequently recurrent. In this study, we describe the imaging findings of acute suppurative infection of the neck caused by a third or fourth branchial fistula (pyriform sinus fistula). METHODS: Imaging findings were reviewed in 17 patients (11 female and six male patients, 2 to 49 years old) with neck infection associated with pyriform sinus fistula. Surgery or laryngoscopic examination confirmed the diagnoses. Fourteen patients had a history of recurrent neck infection and seven had cutaneous openings on the anterior portion of the neck (all lesions were on the left side). Imaging studies included barium esophagography (n = 16), CT (n = 14), MR imaging (n = 2), and sonography (n = 3). RESULTS: A sinus or fistulous tract was identified in eight of 16 patients on barium esophagograms. In 14 patients, CT studies showed the inflammatory infiltration and/or abscess formation along the course of the sinus or fistulous tract from the pyriform fossa to the thyroid gland. In nine patients, CT scans showed the entire course or a part of the sinus or fistulous tract as a tiny spot containing air. MR images showed a sinus or fistulous tract in two patients, whereas sonograms could not depict a sinus or fistulous tract in three patients. All 17 patients were treated with antibiotics. In one patient, the sinus tract was surgically excised, while 15 patients underwent chemocauterization of the sinus or fistulous tract with good outcome. Follow-up was possible for 16 of the 17 patients. CONCLUSION: When an inflammatory infiltration or abscess is present between the pyriform fossa and the thyroid bed in the lower left part of the neck, an infected third or fourth branchial fistula should be strongly suspected. 相似文献

AIM: To review the computed tomography (CT) findings in 26 adult patients with complicated renal duplication, and to assess whether the complications were anomaly-related or superimposed by acquired disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifteen women and 11 men, aged 17-83 years took part in the study. All CT studies were reviewed to define the moieties affected. RESULTS: The duplication was unilateral in 18 cases and bilateral in six, one patient had a single left kidney and the remaining one a horseshoe kidney. In 14 patients the pathology was related only to the anomaly. Upper pole abnormalities were seen in 13 patients (seven related to the anomaly) and lower pole abnormalities in five (all related to duplication). Both systems were affected in eight cases, six of them by pathological processes unrelated to duplication. Hydronephrosis of the affected collecting system was the most common imaging finding. CONCLUSION: Computed tomography is often used to evaluate abdominal conditions in adults and may therefore be the first imaging modality to reveal a duplex kidney complicated by a pathological process. Involvement of only one moiety was frequently related to the duplication, with a predilection for the upper moiety, while involvement of both systems was used unrelated to the duplication. Zissin, R.

Subacute granulomatous thyroiditis is an uncommon disease that occurs most often in women in their second to fifth decades of life. This disease usually presents with thyroid tenderness, a low grade fever, and occasional dysphagia. The disease resolves spontaneously, usually without thyroid function abnormalities. We herein present the CT and MR imaging findings of two cases of subacute granulomatous thyroiditis. 相似文献

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of MR imaging in the identification of labral and articular cartilage lesions in patients with acetabular dysplasia.Design and patients Pre-operative MR imaging was performed on 27 hips in 25 consecutive patients (16 males, 9 females, age range 19–52 years, mean age 31.2 years) with radiographic evidence of acetabular dysplasia (centre-edge angle of Wiberg <20 degrees). The average duration of symptoms was 16.2 months. Two musculoskeletal radiologists assessed MR images in consensus for the presence of abnormality involving the acetabular labrum and adjacent acetabular articular cartilage. A high resolution, non-arthrographic technique was used to assess the labrum and labral chondral transitional zone. Surgical correlation was obtained in all cases by a single surgeon experienced in hip arthroscopy and ten patients with normal hip MRI were included to provide a control group.Results The acetabular labra in the dysplastic hips demonstrated abnormal signal intensity, and had an elongated appearance when compared with the control group (mean length 10.9 mm vs 6.4 mm). Morphological appearances in the labra included surface irregularity, fissures and cleft formation. MR imaging correctly identified the severity of chondral abnormality in 24 of 27 hips (89%) when compared with arthroscopic findings.Conclusions MR imaging demonstrates an elongated labrum, focal intra-substance signal change and irregularity and fissuring of the margins in patients with acetabular dysplasia. Abnormality is also identified at the labral chondral transitional zone, where fissuring, focal clefts, chondral deficiency and subchondral cyst formation may be apparent. A high-resolution, non-arthrographic technique can provide an accurate preoperative assessment and evaluate the presence of premature osteoarthritis. 相似文献

Autoimmune pancreatitis associated with primary sclerosing cholangitis: MR imaging findings 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Autoimmune pancreatitis is a relatively rare type of chronic pancreatitis that may be associated with other autoimmune disorders. The imaging features of this entity may be misleading and suggest the presence of a malignant tumour. We present a case in which MR imaging allowed us to diagnose autoimmune pancreatitis associated with primary sclerosing cholangitis, which is another autoimmune-related disease. Typical MR characteristics of autoimmune pancreatitis include focal or diffuse enlargement of the pancreas, the absence of parenchymal atrophy and significant dilation proximal to the site of stenosis, the absence of peripancreatic spread, the clear demarcation of the lesion and the presence of a peripancreatic rim. 相似文献

Gastric pneumatosis is rare, with causes ranging from benign to lethal. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to present a series of cases of gastric pneumatosis, review the causes, and demonstrate how computed tomography (CT) can help guide management. A range of primary gastric pathology can cause air in the wall of the stomach. However, gastric pneumatosis may reflect intraabdominal pathology arising from other hollow viscera, with indicators of the extragastric etiology on CT. 相似文献

We encountered five otherwise healthy adults with alterations of the tarsal navicular bone compatible with spontaneous osteonecrosis. Four women had bilateral involvement and one man had unilateral involvement. The patients were 23-71 years old. The disorder was initially described by Mueller and Weiss and should not be confused with Koehler disease (osteochondrosis of the tarsal navicular in children). This group of patients was compared with five other patients (29-74 years old) with similar radiographic and clinical changes in whom an underlying disease (rheumatoid arthritis, renal failure, trauma, and lupus erythematosus) associated with osteonecrosis was known. Routine radiography in both groups defined characteristic abnormalities of the navicular bone (decreased size, a comma-shaped configuration, increased radiodensity, fragmentation, and medial or medial and dorsal osseous protrusion). MR in three patients confirmed alterations consistent with osteonecrosis. Three of the patients without underlying disease had bilateral involvement on plain films, with flat feet and hindfoot valgus deformity, leading to local pain and deformity. In a fourth patient, bilateral distribution was documented by MR as marrow alterations. Although no certain pathogenic explanation for spontaneous osteonecrosis of the tarsal navicular is known, trauma and chronic stress changes caused by physiologic pressure on the medial longitudinal arch in hindfoot valgus and increased tension forces of the plantar aponeurosis during weight-bearing (in pes planus) may be important. Discrimination of primary from secondary osteonecrosis of the tarsal navicular bone is not possible by radiologic means alone, although bilateral distribution, particularly in women, favors the diagnosis of spontaneous disease. 相似文献
