Role of early contrast enhanced CT scan in severity prediction of acute pancreatitis.
Severe pancreatitis occurs in approximately 15-25% of patients with acute pancreatitis. The objective of our study was to compare the CT Severity Index (CTSI) with a clinical score (BISAP score) to predict severity of acute pancreatitis. Forty-eight consecutive patients with acute pancreatitis who underwent contrast enhanced CT scan within 72 hours of presentation were included. Results of our ...
متن کاملContrast - Enhanced CT of Acute Isodense
The case of "isodense" subdural hematoma reported by Boyko et al (1) is interesting for the diffuse enhancement of the subdural hematoma, and for the discussion that accompanies it. It appears inappropriate, however, for Figure 1A and 1B to be published with the legend which states that there was no "identifiable extracerebral fluid collection."

متن کاملContrast enhancement CT scan and post-endarterectomy hemorrhage.
Cerebral hemorrhage, an unusual complication of endarterectomy, is often attributed to postoperative hypertension. A patient with a middle cerebral artery stroke had a hemorrhage without hypertension, 2 days postoperatively. Pronounced contrast enhancement of the infarction during the 7 weeks prior to surgery reflected severe disruption of the blood-brain barrier. Contrast CT scans may detect p...
متن کاملContrast-Induced Nephropathy Following CT Scan and Its Associated Factors
Background and purpose: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) as a common complication of administration of contrast media (CM) is a major source of hospital morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of CIN after contrast-enhanced CT scan and identifying the related risk factors. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 100 patients att...
