History Of

Acquired megaesophagus is an uncommon cause of regurgitation in dogs. Diagnosis is confirmed by simple or contrast radiographs, endoscopy, tomography, scintigraphy, or magnetic resonance imaging. Esophagography with barium sulphate contrast is the most commonly used method, however, it may be inconclusive if dilation marking does not occur. This paper reports the case of a 9-year-old female dog, with a history of regurgitation over six months, simple and contrast radiographic exams showing no evidence of megaesophagus. The esophagography exam was repeated with the addition of barium contrast mixed with commercial dry pet food, which verified esophageal dilatation and confirmed megaesophagus. Although this technique is not widely used, it is an effective alternative method for diagnosis of canine megaesophagus, particularly when other radiographic approaches are inconclusive.

Abstract OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: This is the first reported case of histologically proven multiple spinal cavernous malformations (CMs) associated with previous irradiation. There are only two cases reported in the literature of solitary spinal CM after irradiation. In addition, the lesions in our patient had an atypical magnetic resonance imaging appearance mimicking intraspinal drop metastasis. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 33-year-old man had an incidental finding of multiple enhancing intraspinal lesions as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging during staging tests for hepatocellular carcinoma. He had a history of Wilms' tumor at a young age with irradiation to the abdomen and pelvis. His family history included a paternal cousin with multiple cerebral CMs. The diagnosis of spinal drop metastasis was made, and further intervention was undertaken for confirmation. INTERVENTION: The patient underwent a lumbar laminectomy with durotomy and excision of two of the lesions. Macroscopic analysis revealed mulberry-like appearance with nerve root involvement, and pathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of CM. Genetic testing of the patient and his affected cousin was negative for the CCM1 gene. CONCLUSION: The occurrence of multiple spinal lesions in the context of known neoplasia indicates a diagnosis of metastasis. Spinal CMs were not suspected preoperatively because of the atypical appearance revealed by magnetic resonance imaging scans, with uniform contrast enhancement and absence of hemosiderin rim. This case report is discussed relative to previous literature regarding radiation-induced CMs and other known causes of the disease.

AbstractA 47-year-old man presented, in 1990, with a short history of left-sided cerebellar ataxia. In 1986 he had undergone excision of a glomus jugulare tumour. A magnetic resonance (MRI) scan demonstrated cerebellar herniation through a defect in his skull base. Surgical repair was undertaken with resolution of his symptoms.

Cerebral ependymal cyst is a rare benign neuroepithelial cyst. We report a case of cerebral ependymal cyst in a 62-year-old lady who presented with status epilepticus. She gave history of progressive right occipital headache over a year. Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the brain showed a large occipital cyst. She underwent a right craniotomy, deroofing of the cyst and insertion of Ommaya catheter. The clinicopathological aspects of the cyst are discussed.

Distal Anterior Cerebral Artery

The natural history of atraumatic idiopathic dissection of the distal anterior cerebral artery is still unclear. We present a 38-year-old man who had dissection of the leftA2segment of this vessel associated with subintimal hematoma and infarction. Because of complete stroke in acute stage, he did not undergo surgery. About three months later, administration of aspirin (100 mg/day) was started. At nine months, magnetic resonance angiography revealed complete recanalization of theA2dissection. To assess the outcome of dissection, we should observe the patient for at least one year.

A case of pelvic actinomycosis is presented. The patient is 42-year-old female with a 5 weeks history of pelvic pain. An intrauterine device (IUD) was taken out 3 weeks ago. There is a lump length 9 cm between rectus muscles. Ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histology are used to make the diagnosis. Actinomycosis can mimic the tumour disease. The definitive diagnosis requires positive anaerobic culture or histological identification of actinomyces granulas. A long lasting antibiotic therapy is performed.

The case history of a two-year-old child with meningo-angiomotosis of the left frontal lobe is described in this article. The special features of the clinical manifestations were two episodes of nonconvulsive status epilepticus and absence of seizures between these episodes. The diagnosis was suspected at the age of 14 months after magnetic resonance imaging investigation. The presurgical investigation/diagnostics before the neurosurgery and the neurosurgery were performed in the Department for Children’s Neurology of Schoen Klinik Vogtareuth (Germany). The results of electroencephalographic video monitoring over 7 days showed derangements in the left fronto-central and temporo-parietal regions. The repeated magnetic resonance imaging showed no progression of tumor growth. At the age of 2 years and 4 months the girl had been operated. A subtotal lobectomy was carried out. The patient showed a positive trend of speech development after the operation. The question of a lateralization of speech center after surgery in Broca’s area is debated in this article.

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.

Introduction: The umbilical vein can become recanalised due to portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis but the condition is rarely clinically significant. Although bleeding from this enlarged vein is a known complication, the finding of thrombophlebitis has not been previously described. Case report: We report the case of a 62-year-old male with a history of liver cirrhosis due to alcoholic liver disease presenting to hospital with epigastric pain. A CT scan of the patient’s abdomen revealed a thrombus with surrounding inflammatory changes in a recanalised umbilical vein. The patient was managed conservatively and was discharged home the following day. Conclusion: Thrombophlebitis of a recanalised umbilical vein is a rare cause of abdominal pain in patients with liver cirrhosis.
