Segmental arterial mediolysis (SAM) is a rare, nonarteriosclerotic, noninflammatory vascular disease and mostly affects medium-to-large sized abdominal arteries as well as presents with hemorrhages in the abdominal cavity. We report the case of a patient with SAM of the celiac, right renal, jejunal branch of the superior mesenteric, left gastric, and splenic arteries who was diagnosed by exclud...

Background: Little is known about the relation between the extent of microvascular damage and infarct size in patients after successful mechanical reperfusion of acute myocardial infarction. Objective: To compare the spatial extent of reduced myocardial signal between real time myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) after successful mec...

D ifferential diagnosis between pulmonary infarction and pneumonia is a frequent problem in general practice. Pulmonary infarction occurs in about 15 percent of pulmonary emboli. Its definition is radiologic or ‘ In clinical situations, only the radiologic definition is helpful: a parenchymal opacity lies in the territory of the thromboembolism and is characterized by its grossly triangular sha...

The increased risk of malignancies is a well-recognized complication of organ transplantation. When renal cell carcinoma (RCC) occurs in kidney transplant recipients, less than 10% of it affects the allograft. Recent experience suggests that partial allograft nephrectomy for tumours less than 4 cm may be considered the treatment of choice. We report a case of a 3.3 cm RCC discovered in a renal ...

Central nervous system is often involved by herpes zoster but it is very rarely seen that contralateral hemiparesis or hemiplegia developed after herpes zoster ophthalmicus. We report a case of herpes zoster ophthalmicus followed by the delayed contralateral hemiparesis. A 33-year-old man developed acute cerebral infarction and resultant right hemiparesis 44 days after herpes zoster ophthalmicu...

mandibular discontinuity defects following a segmental mandibulectomy defects present a major challenge to the rehabilitation team. with no immediate intervention to rehabilitate the patient, definitive mandibular guidance prostheses with a metal guiding flange and acrylic teeth on the resected side can be used successfully to stabilize the occlusion and correct the deviation. the present case ...

An increasing number of parturients suffering from ischaemic heart disease require anaesthetic care for labour and vaginal delivery. We present the case of a 42-year-old gravida who had previously suffered a myocardial infarction and undergone coronary artery bypass grafting. Management was directed toward prevention of haemodynamic instability by alleviation of pain and stress while minimizing...

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHS) is a rare and potentially fatal condition, particularly when it is associated with arterial thromboembolic events. We present a case of acute ischemia of both lower limbs and left kidney due to OHS. The clinical presentation included voluminous ascites, pleural effusion, and significant ovarian enlargement. Subsequently, bilateral severe acute limb ischem...

We present a 22-year-old man who suffered a contusion on the left side of his back in a motor scooter accident. Traumatic segmental infarction of the right kidney was found on computed tomography scan. A subsequent angiogram showed right renal artery branch dissection and an expandable stent was deployed across the stenosis. Stent treatment proved successful at the four month follow-up. Enhance...
