HYDATIC CARDIAC SYST: AN EXCEPTIONAL LOCATION

Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease endemic in different regions of the world. Cardiac localization represents only 0.5 to 2% of all attacks, characterized by clinical, paraclinical and especially radiological polymorphism. Its spontaneous development is serious because of the risk of endocavity rupture. The diagnosis is facilitated by means of non-invasive imaging, in particular echocardiography, thoracic computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Given the lack of alternative treatment options, cystectomy and pericystectomy are the only surgical techniques capable of offering chances of recovery with acceptable morbidity and mortality. Antiparasitic treatment comes in addition to surgery. Eradication of hydatid disease mainly involves effective collective and individual preventive measures. We present a clinical case of a 54-year-old patient who presented with asthenia followed by precordial pain, who has a normal EKG and chest x-ray. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) a mass that bulges in the lateral aspect of the left heart chambers. The thoracic tomodensitometry objectified a cystic image which bulges in the left cardiac chambers suggesting a cardiac hydatid cyst. A hypereosinophilia was objective in the biological assessment. The patient was sent to the cardiovascular surgery department for surgery.

Neurilemoma – periferinių nervų dangalų auglys. Jis auga lėtai ir pradžia dažniausiai būna besimptomė. Pasiekęs kritinį dydį auglys, priklausomai nuo atsiradimo vietos, pasireiškia spaudimo į aplinkinius organus klinika. Neurilemomos dažniausiai atsiranda galūnėse 30–50 gyvenimo metais nepriklausomai nuo lyties. Klajoklio nervo neurilemoma yra nedažna patologija, o krūtininės klajoklio nervo dalies neurilemoma pasitaiko itin retai. Diagnozuojant svarbiausi yra radiologiniai tyrimo metodai.

It grows slowly and has an asymptomatic manifestation. During tumour enlargement, depending on localisation, clinical symptoms appear because of the tumour pressure to the surrounding tissues. Mostly neurilemomas appear in extremities of patients aged 30–50 years. N. vagus neurilemoma is a very rare disease. The diagnosis is made using radiology. The treatment is surgical removal. We present a clinical case of intrathoracal n. vagus neurilemoma in a 39-year-old woman. The diagnosis was made using radiological findings (chest X-ray, chest CT, and the MRI of the mediastinum). The removal of the tumour was made by VATS. The diagnosis was proved morphologically. After 8 days, the patient was discharged from the hospital.Key words: neurilemoma, vagal nerve, operation

The objective of this study was to report a case of miliary tuberculosis revealed by a pharyngeal localization, and study this disease through a literature review.We report the clinical case of a 23 year old patient presented for chronic tonsillitis treated as bacterial but without improvement. Dysphonia and dysphagia were added later with the same signs of tuberculous impregnation. The chest x-ray done before the onset of coughing had objectified miliary. The diagnosis of tuberculosis was selected before the detection of acid-fast bacilli in cytobacteriological examination of the pharyngeal swab and sputum. Specific antituberculous treatment led to a favourable outcomeIn a context of endemic tuberculosis, the diagnosis of miliary tuberculosis of the pharynxshould be considered in all pharyngeal syndrome did not improve with medical treatment.Keywords: Isambert disease; oropharynx ; tuberculosis

In Pregnancy

Hydatid cyst of the lung has been seen in 30% of the cases of hydatidosis in some series. In our case presentation, a 29-year old female, gravida 1, referred to the hospital with acute and severe pain in the lower left hemithorax, while she was in the 26th week of pregnancy. The pain was pleuritic and was accompanied with tachypnea. The patient was hospitalized with suspected pulmonary embolism. The chest X-ray and computed tomography showed a cystic mass in the lower left lung. After a diagnosis of hydatid cyst, the patient underwent surgery and all of her symptoms were resolved. As Albendazole is a medication from pregnancy category C, and since in our case, the patient underwent surgery and all of her symptoms were resolved, we can conclude that surgery is a safe and appropriate treatment for Hydatid cyst of the lung in pregnancy.

Idiopathic pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare condition. This type of aneurysm can be presented with noncardiac symptoms or even asymptomatic. We report a 73-year-old man with a gigantic idiopathic pulmonary artery aneurysm which was referred to our unit for his kidney problems. During his workup we incidentally found the aneurysm by an abnormal chest-X ray and auscultation. Our further evaluations revealed a 9.8 cm aneurysm in transthoracic echocardiography.
