Use of multislice computed tomography in the diagnosis of annular constrictive pericarditis
anterior two thirds of the spinal cord (mainly by the artery of Adamkiewicz) is more susceptible to ischemia than is the posterior segment, which has several levels of vascular supply (6). A high degree of clinical suspicion of neurological involvement of the spinal cord is indicative of the diagnosis. Symptoms vary depending on the extent of the affected area and the level of spinal injury. Ce...
متن کاملConstrictive pericarditis: Insights from cardiac computed tomography.
Constrictive pericarditis is a rare disease, usually the result of long-standing pericardial inflammation leading to pericardial scarring with thickening, fibrosis, and calcification. The most frequent causes are mediastinal radiation, chronic idiopathic pericarditis, cardiac surgery, and tuberculous pericarditis. Nearly 9% of patients with acute pericarditis for any reason go on to develop con...

متن کاملMitral and tricuspid annular velocities in constrictive pericarditis and restrictive cardiomyopathy: correlation with pericardial thickness on computed tomography.
OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to: 1) compare early diastolic mitral annular velocity (E') of septal annulus (SE') with E' of lateral mitral annulus (LE') and right lateral tricuspid annulus (RE') in patients with constrictive pericarditis (CP) and restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM); and 2) assess the relationship between pericardial thickness measured by computed tomography and lateral E...
