Pylephlebitis is defined as septic thrombophlebitis of the portal vein. It is a rare but serious complication of an intraabdominal infection, more commonly diverticulitis and appendicitis. It has an unspecific clinical presentation and the diagnosis is difficult. The authors report a case of a 21-year-old man with acute appendicitis complicated by pylephlebitis. The diagnosis was made with contrast enhanced CT.

Surgical Thrombectomy

A 78-year-old woman visited the emergency department with complaints of progressively worsening abdominal pain for a week. Nausea and vomiting started at the time of the visit. An abdominal contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) revealed a filling defect of portal vein, splenic vein and superior mesenteric vein (SMV) which was diagnosed as portal vein and mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT). Intravenous administration of unfractionated heparin was initiated. However, her symptoms did not improve, and she underwent surgical thrombectomy on the second day of hospitalisation. On the sixth day, CECT revealed the recurrence of thrombi in the portal vein, SMV and along the central venous catheters. We switched heparin to argatroban on the eighth day. After administering argatroban, CECT revealed that the thrombi had almost disappeared by the 40th day. In this case, argatroban was considered effective for heparin-resistant and surgery-resistant portal vein and MVT.

Primary Retroperitoneal

This report describes a rare case of retroperitoneal hernia and its preoperative diagnosis. Contrast-enhanced CT and multiplanar reconstruction were used to observe the hernia ring, hernia tract, contents and blood flow of a retroperitoneal hernia. The diagnosis of and conditions related to the retroperitoneal hernia were confirmed by CT soon after hospitalisation. There are no reports on the diagnosis of primary retroperitoneal hernia on CT in the literature to date, and we share this case to facilitate the accurate and timely identification of small intestine retroperitoneal hernias in the future.
