Abstract Background Management of postoperative chylothorax usually consists of nutritional regimens, pharmacological therapies such as octreotide, and surgical therapies such as ligation of thoracic duct, but a clear consensus is yet to be reached. Further, the variation of the thoracic duct makes chylothorax difficult to treat. This report describes a rare case of chylothorax with an aberrant thoracic duct that was successfully treated using focal pleurodesis through interventional radiology (IVR). Case presentation The patient was a 52-year-old man with chylothorax after a thoracoscopic oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer. With conventional therapy, such as thoracostomy tube, octreotide or fibrogammin, a decrease in the amount of chyle was not achieved. Therefore, we performed lymphangiography and pleurodesis through IVR. The patient appeared to have an aberrant thoracic duct, as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, after focal pleurodesis, the leak of chyle was diminished, and the patient was discharged 66 days after admission. Conclusions Chylothorax remains a difficult complication. Focal pleurodesis through IVR can be one of the options to treat chylothorax.

Abstract Introduction: polyorchidism is an unusual pathology, about 200 cases in the world literature. Case report: we reported a case of polyorchidism in a 16-year-old male patient diagnosed by ultrasound and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. Discussion: most of the cases presented, there is a supernumerary testis, but there are reports on more than three, up to five testicles with supranumerical gonads on both sides of the scrotum. The diagnosis is usually performed in late puberty, incidentally, with a painless scrotal mass or at the emergency room, presenting a testicular torsion of the whole hemiscrotum or supernumerary testisalone, and the differential diagnosis should be made with epididymal cyst and spermatocele, besides other extra-testicular masses (hydroceles, varicoceles, lipomas, tumors.) and para-testicular masses (hernias, scrotal calculi). After the initial clinical evaluation, ultrasound is the first line subsidiary exam. Magnetic Resonance Imaging is very helpful, just in case the ultrasound diagnosis is uncertain. The supernumerary testishave the same Magnetic Resonance Imaging characteristics as the normal testes (intermediate signal intensity on T1- weighted images and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images).

AbstractObjectives:To report the case of a spontaneous arteriovenous malformation involving the auricula, external auditory meatus, middle ear and part of the petrous apex, and also to provide updated information about its management.Case report:A 33-year-old woman presented complaining of accelerated growth of a retro-auricular swelling during her latest pregnancy, together with pain, pulsatile tinnitus and ear discharge. An arteriovenous malformation occupying the right auricula, external auditory canal, mastoid proccess of the temporal bone and the lateral half of the petrous segment was diagnosed, using temporal computerised tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The lesion was embolised with polyvinyl alcohol particles at angiography. Excision of the arteriovenous malformation nidus was performed. Three years post-operatively, magnetic resonance imaging showed no residual lesion or recurrence at the temporal bone and petrous apex, although a few scanty, serpiginous, vascular remnants had persisted.Conclusions:In the head and neck, arteriovenous malformations usually occur intracranially; they are rare outside the cranium. To our knowledge, there have been no previously published cases of such an extensive arteriovenous malformation involving the temporal region. Apropos of our case, the definition, clinical findings, diagnostic approaches and therapeutic management of arteriovenous malformations are discussed.

Abstract Background The precise etiology of anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) infarction is difficult to identify because of the high anatomic variability of vertebrobasilar arteries and the limitations of conventional vascular examinations. Basi-parallel anatomic scanning magnetic resonance imaging (BPAS-MRI) can reveal the outer contour of the intracranial vertebrobasilar arteries, which may be helpful to distinguish the arteriosclerosis from congenital dysplasia and dissection. Case presentation In this study, we reported 3 cases of AICA infarction and discussed the diagnostic value of BPAS-MRI in the evaluation of vascular etiology. Conclusions The BPAS-MRI could be considered as an important supplementary in the diagnosis of vascular etiology of infarction in AICA territory.

Abstract Background Infliximab-induced seizures in patients with Crohn’s disease are extremely rare and the mechanism of infliximab-induced seizures is unclear. Case presentation A 60-year-old woman with Crohn’s disease experienced infliximab-induced seizures, diagnosed on normal magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. Moreover, the rechallenge with infliximab was positive. Conclusions Neurological assessment and tight clinical monitoring before and during therapy with infliximab should be performed in patients with pre-existing seizure disorders.
