We present a 65-year-old man who had a significant arteriovenous fistula between the right arteria profunda femoralis and vena profunda femoralis. He had evidence of chronic venous insufficiency and chronic leg ulcers on his right leg, and he had clinical findings of congestive heart failure. An arteriovenous fistula was responsible for all of clinical situation that had been caused by a shotgun wound 15 years ago. Using ultrasonography, after palpating a marked thrill and mass during physical examination, established the diagnosis of arteriovenous fistula. Angiography was performed both to delineate the suspected vascular anatomy and to show the coronary arteries. The patient was operated on and no complication was experienced during or after the procedure. Dramatic improvement was seen in the clinical picture just after surgery, and heart size markedly reduced both on chest X-ray and echocardiographic examination.

Minute pulmonary meningothelial-like nodules (MPMNs) are relatively rare lesions that located at the pleura or parenchyma of the lung. They are usually found incidentally at autopsy or in surgical specimens. We presented a case of asymptomatic 47-year-old woman with an abnormal shadow in the right upper lung field found by a routine chest X ray. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the thorax revealed a hyperdense subpleural mass, which histologically conformed to adenocarcinoma. A resection of the right upper lobe discovered preponderance of small multiple lesions under the pleura. Microscopically, they were an interstitial nodular proliferation of oval or spindle-shape cells arranged in a zellenballen nesting pattern near small veins. Immunohistochemical and cytological analyses confirmed the diagnosis of MPMNs. Coexistence of multiple MPMNs and lung adenocarcinoma can be a differential diagnostic problem due to suspected metastasis of the primary carcinoma. To obtain an accurate diagnosis, the clinical findings should completely conform to histological, immunohistochemical, and cytological ones.

A 7-year-old girl with a right-sided congenital arteriovenous fistula in the neck was admitted with signs of cardial incompensation. Her fistula was fed from the right vertebral artery in antegrade as well as retrograde directions. A steal from the intracranial arteries was established. In addition, smaller feeding arteries from the neck were found. She was operated on with ligation of the right vertebral artery proximal to the fistula but the attempted ligation of the artery cranially to the fistula was unsuccessful. She was therefore embolized by the formation of a plug of platinum fiber coils in the upper right vertebral artery. Catheterization was performed from the left vertebral artery via the basilar artery. Persisting minor feeders to the fistula from cervical arteries were embolized in a second session. Finally, surgical extirpation of the fistula was performed together with the operative ligation of a crossover feeding artery from the left vertebral artery. Her heart size, heart rate and blood pressure were successively normalized.

A 20-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and shortness of breath. She was in obstructive shock with absent breath sounds on the left haemithorax. Chest X-ray showed a large radiolucent shadow with absent lung markings and mediastinal shift to the right side with concerns for tension pneumothorax. Though tube thoracostomy was done on the left side of the chest, column movement was absent. To confirm the diagnosis CT with contrast was done that revealed a huge left side diaphragmatic defect with abdominal contents in the thorax and mediastinal structures are shifted to left. She underwent emergency laparotomy and postoperative period was uneventful.

AbstractThis study evaluated the marginal and internal fit and intaglio surface trueness of interim crowns fabricated from tooth preparation scanned at four finish line locations. The right maxillary first molar tooth preparation model was fabricated using a ceramic material and placed in four finish line locations (supragingival, equigingival, subgingival, and subgingival with a cord). Intraoral scanning was performed. Crowns were designed based on the scanned area. Interim crowns were fabricated using a stereolithography three-dimensional (3D) printer (N = 16 per location). Marginal and internal fit were evaluated with a silicone replica technique. Intaglio surface trueness was evaluated using a 3D inspection software. One-way analysis of variance and Tukey HSD test were performed for comparisons (α = 0.05). The marginal and internal fit showed significant differences according to locations (P < 0.05); the marginal fit showed the best results in the supragingival finish line (P < 0.05). Intaglio surface trueness was significantly different in the marginal region, with the highest value in the subgingival location (P < 0.05). Crowns fabricated on the subgingival finish line caused inaccurate marginal fit due to poor fabrication reproducibility of the marginal region. The use of an intraoral scanner should be decided on the clinical situation and needs.

Abstract Background Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis mainly affecting small-sized arteries. Involvement of medium-sized vessels is very rare in EGPA. Here we present the case of a patient with EGPA who showed multiple hepatic aneurysms and distal gangrene. Case presentation A known EGPA patient visited to the emergency room (ER) with abrupt squeezing abdominal pain. She had suffered from gangrene in the fingertips of both hands for 1 year because of arterial thrombosis associated with hypereosinophilia. However, her absolute eosinophil count in the ER was 1120 cells/µL. An abdomen-pelvis CT demonstrated subcapsular hematoma in the right hepatic lobe. A celiac angiogram demonstrated multiple sized aneurysms in both hepatic lobes and some aneurysms in S7 and S8 were huge, more than 1 cm in size. The shape of the small aneurysms resembled a string of beads, as in polyarteritis nodosa. Given the clinical situation, emergency embolization was performed. Before this patient visited to the ER, she had been treated with a high dose of systemic corticosteroid, azathioprine, and cyclophosphamide. After addition of mepolizumab, the eosinophil count remained stable state with a near zero percentage of total white blood cell count. Conclusions Aneurysm and gangrene resulting from the involvement of medium-sized vessels can occur in EGPA. Destruction of vessels might occur even if eosinophil count is below 1500 cells/µL. If involvement of medium-sized arteries is suspected, thorough investigation to identify the involved organs and prompt management are needed to prevent fatal complications.

An 8-month-old boy presented with right hemiplegia of sudden onset after 20 days of Kawasaki disease, which was not initially treated by gamma globulin. Cranial X-ray computed tomography confirmed cerebral infarction as the cause of the right hemiplegia. In subsequent weeks, he developed multiple thromboses in coronary aneurysms. He successfully underwent intracoronary thrombolysis using tissue plasminogen activator without haemorrhagic complications. Cerebral infarction as a complication of Kawasaki disease is rare, and is a difficult clinical situation to manage.

Abstract Post-traumatic urinomas are well-described complications associated with the nonoperative management of major blunt renal injuries. A 16-year-old male sustained a motor vehicle accident. Brought after 30 minutes to emergency department, upon arrival he was fully conscious, complaining of severe right hypochondrial and loin pain, abdomen was tender and guarded over the right side, urinary catheter inserted revealed gross haematuria, the patient was resuscitated accordingly, fast ultrasound scan showed minimal fluid collection in the Morison's pouch, the right kidney was swollen with perinephric fluid collection and poor cortico-medullary differentiation. Urgent CT scan findings were deep avulsion of the right kidney. The Patient was planned for conservative management, admitted to high dependency ward, CT scan repeated, and the size of urinoma increased compared to the initial CT, so he was planned for retrograde pyelography and ureteric stenting. Intra-operatively the right ureter was canulated, contrast injected. The pelvi-ureteric junction was intact, extravasation of contrast in the upper pole of the kidney. The right ureter was stented using a size 6 multiloop stent, with the tip directed into the upper pole calyx. The Patient showed dramatic improvement, haematuria cleared and the patient was discharged well after 12 days and the stent was removed after 6 weeks. Despite the improvements with nonoperative management, complications are described and include delayed hemorrhage, delayed massive hematuria and renal scaring with loss of function. Ureteric stenting is playing a major part in the conservative management of high-grade renal injury particularly grade IV type.
