Abstract Background: Ectopic bronchial artery and non-bronchial systemic arteries may be the culprit vessels of hemoptysis. The main cause of clinical failure of bronchial artery embolization is incomplete embolization caused by the misidentification of the culprit arteries by conventional angiography. Multidetector computed tomography angiography is useful for visualizing the culprit arteries. Case presentation: An 82-year-old man was admitted with hemoptysis. Preprocedural multidetector computed tomography angiography revealed an ectopic bronchial artery branching from the right thyrocervical trunk. Superselective embolization of the ectopic bronchial artery was performed using gelatin sponge particles and metallic coils. Hemoptysis was controlled by this procedure without any associated complications. Conclusions: Ectopic bronchial arteries originating from the thyrocervical trunk are rare. Preprocedural multidetector computed tomography angiography is useful for visualizing the culprit arteries of hemoptysis, especially if a patient has an ectopic bronchial artery or an ectopic non-bronchial systemic artery.

A 24-year-old man was investigated for dyspnea and swelling of the right side of the neck with pain in the right shoulder, which had developed over the previous year. Hydatid cyst of the right first rib was diagnosed by chest radiography and computed tomography. Serology for hydatid disease was negative. The cysts and the first rib were excised via a right thoracotomy. The postoperative course was uneventful. Histology revealed multilocular echinococcal lesions.

Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) elegantly renders pulmonary venous anatomy. With increasing numbers of radiofrequency ablation procedures being performed, there is now a greater emphasis on pre-procedure imaging to delineate this anatomy. Pulmonary venous mapping studies can be performed with or without ECG-gating. However, ECG-gating improves both the quality of 3D images and the accuracy of pulmonary vein (PV) ostial diameter measurements. Including the superior thorax, and not just the left atrium and central PVs, allows visualization of aberrant pulmonary venous drainage to the brachiocephalic veins or superior vena cava. Normally, there are two superior PVs, one right and one left, and two inferior PVs, one right and one left. The right superior vein usually drains the right upper and middle lobe. The left superior vein drains the left upper lobe including the lingula. The inferior veins drain their respective lower lobe. PV anatomy is more variable than pulmonary arterial anatomy, and developmental anomalies are common. This article describes, illustrates and reviews the common anomalies of the PVs in our experience performing over 1000-pre-radiofrequency ablation cardiac MDCT studies. The commonest anomalies are supernumerary or accessory veins (on the right) and a (left) common trunk. More rarely, partial anomalous pulmonary venous return and Cor triatriatum are seen, and rarest of all is total anomalous pulmonary venous return, PV varix and single or multiple vein stenosis or atresia.

Introduction: Hydatid cyst of the adrenal gland is extremely rare even in generalized hydatid disease, with less than 20 cases reported in world literature including those found in autopsy. Case outline: The authors present the second case of the adrenal gland hydatid cyst described in Serbian literature, in 52-year old woman. During the investigation for the epigastric pain by ultrasonography and computed tomography, calcified cyst of the sixth segment of the liver, 44?39 mm in diameter, was diagnosed. However, during an open surgery, it turned out to be the cyst of the right adrenal gland. The cyst as well as the entire adrenal gland was removed. The hydatid nature of the cyst was confirmed by histological examination. The postoperative recovery was uneventful. The patient has remained symptom-free over two years after the surgery. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case reported in Serbian and 18th case published in world literature.

ABSTRACT Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is relatively uncommon accounting for 0.5% of all head and neck tumors occurring exclusively in adolescent males. It is a microscopically benign, yet locally aggressive tumor with high rates of recurrence and results in severe morbidity. Diagnosis requires high index of suspicion as it mimics other sinonasal conditions, like sinonasal polyp, neurofibroma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, etc. A case of 14-year-old boy with history of swelling in the right cheek, bilateral nasal obstruction, epistaxis, and watering from right eye referred for multidetector computed tomography is reported in this study.

Abstract Background The clinical use of radial artery (RA) in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is still limited worldwide, although it has been recommended by several guidelines, and the application of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in the evaluation of graft patency is still to be verified. This study aims to report the short-term results of RA in CABG with MDCT. Methods The study population consists of 41 consecutive patients undergoing elective CABG with the RA graft between 2007 to 2008, with MDCT performed to evaluate graft patency during follow-up, and target vessels for the RA were non-left anterior descending coronary arteries with > 70% stenosis. Results MDCT could clearly show the structure and patency of grafts, even for complex coronary artery revascularization. A total of 150 distal anastomoses were assessed by MDCT during follow-up (mean, 8.9 ± 5.1 months). Functional graft patency of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) was 92.9% (39/42), with the RA patency of 84.4% (38/45) and the patency of saphenous vein graft (SVG) of 81.1% (30/37). And the RA targeting the left coronary artery system might have better patency than that of the RA targeting the right coronary artery system (25/29, 86.2% vs 13/16, 81.3%, p = 0.686). Conclusions MDCT could provide excellent visualization of grafts in CABG. The short-term patency rate of RA grafts is good, and the RA might be associated with better patency when targeted to the left but not the right coronary artery.

Abstract Background Omental infarction is a rare cause of acute pain abdomen and is difficult to diagnose clinically due to nonspecific clinical features. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) imaging of the abdomen is essential for the diagnosis of omental infarction and is also crucial to rule out appendicitis and other causes of acute pain abdomen. Objective The main purpose of this article is to describe the MDCT features of omental infarction in clinching the diagnosis and differentiating it from its clinical mimics. Methods CT findings of five patients with diagnosed omental infarction were retrospectively reviewed from 2014 to 2019. All patients presented with pain abdomen on the right side of the abdomen with various clinical diagnoses. MDCT was done for diagnosis and features evaluated include size of the lesion, location, relation to colon, and findings that were correlated to clinical presentation and etiology. Results Age distribution ranged between 36 and 55 years with female predominance. Out of five cases, one was secondary omental infarction due to inguinal hernia causing omental torsion and the other four cases were of unknown etiology. Three cases were managed conservatively and the other two cases were surgically managed. Three lesions were in right iliac fossa and two lesions were in the supraumbilical region on the right side. Conclusion Omental infarction should be considered important in the differential diagnosis of acute pain abdomen mimicking acute appendicitis and requires CT abdomen to establish diagnosis. Knowledge of typical imaging findings and application for diagnosis are important, as it is a self-limiting disease and can avoid unnecessary surgical interventions.
