INTRODUCTION Spontaneous rupture of the right gastroepiploic artery is an extremely rare case which can be a cause of abdominal apoplexy. CASE REPORT We present a case of a 64-year old woman with a Spontaneous rupture of the right gastroepiploic artery with hemorrhagic shock that was successfully treated by emergency surgery. CONCLUSION Simultaneous restoration of circulating volume and rap...

[1] We investigate the ground motion produced by rupture propagation through circular barriers and asperities in an otherwise homogeneous earthquake rupture. Using a threedimensional finite difference method, we analyze the effect of asperity radius, strength, and depth in a dynamic model with fixed rupture velocity. We gradually add complexity to the model, eventually approaching the behavior ...

Forniceal rupture is a rare event in pregnancy. We report a case of a 26-year-old primigravid woman who experienced a forniceal rupture at 23 weeks of gestation with no inciting cause except for pregnancy. Pregnancy is associated with ureteral compression due to increase in pelvic vasculature with the right ureter more dilated due to anatomic reasons. Hormones such as prostaglandins and progest...

Perforation of the esophagus for any reason on at any level is always a grave lesion and one which, if untreated, is not compatible to life. The clinical symptoms of spontaneous rupture of the esophagus are not generally recognized. The majority of the cases thus far recorded in the literature, now more than 66, were not diagnosed before death and in many instances were not even suspected befor...

Fig. 2. (A) Multi-slice computed tomography images showed extravasation of the contrast media into themediastinumwith surrounding hematoma, not only in the mediastinum but also into the left lung tissue. (B) Three dimensional volume-rendering images from the computed tomography scan clearly demonstrated leakage of the contrast media at the bifurcation of the ductus arteriosus and lesser curvatu...
