BACKGROUND Cerebellar venous infarction is a rare condition. Thus far only four cases have been reported in the literature. We recently encountered a patient with chronic suppurative otitis media complicated by cerebellar venous infarction. The features of cerebellar venous infarction in the other four cases are also reviewed. CASE DESCRIPTION A 20-year-old man presented with clinical feature...

Thirteen patients with confusional state and cerebral infarction were studied. Seven patients had optic pathway alterations. On computed tomographic scan, 2 patients had multiple infarctions and 10 had single infarctions, predominantly located in the temporo-occipital associative cortex. One patient had a normal scan. Reduction of 'selective attention', 'release' hallucinations, amnesic syndrom...

A patient is described with a unilateral pleural effusion persistently infected with Salmonella enteritidis. The infection was eventually eradicated with ciprofloxacin. A computed tomographic scan and mediastinal lymph node biopsy demonstrated an underlying small cell bronchogenic carcinoma.

Clinical Summary PATIENT 1. A 16-year-old boy with previously diagnosed Behçet syndrome was hospitalized because of intermittent hemoptysis that had lasted for 2 weeks. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 40 mm in the first hour, and C-reactive protein level was greater than 3.5 mg/dL. Chest radiography (Figure 1, A ) showed rounded right parahilar opacity. Computed tomographic scan (Figure 1, B...

This review summarizes recent progress in computer-aided detection for CT colonography.

We report a case of a type A aortic dissection with extension into the main pulmonary artery through a sinus of Valsalva fistula. Echocardiography and computed tomographic angiography of the chest were performed and bicuspid aortic valve, hemopericardium, and dilatation of the aortic root were found. A Stanford type A dissection was seen, extending to the distal transverse thoracic aorta, and t...
