Developmental malformations of the lung are common but complete agenesis of the lung is quite rare and usually the patients presented are in early childhood; though according to literature, a few cases have come to light even in the adult age group. A 10-month-old male child presented with a sudden onset of respiratory distress with opacity of the right hemithorax on X-ray, raising suspicion of foreign body bronchus. Subsequent CT scans and bronchoscopy revealed agenesis of the right lung. Patient was managed conservatively and his parents were counseled about the anomaly. The child is doing well and is in a regular follow-up with us. Agenesis of the lung should be suspected in children with recurrent respiratory distress with opacity of the hemithorax on X-ray and herniation of the opposite lung across the mediastinum.

Developmental malformations of the lung are common but aplasia of the lung is extremely rare and usually the patients presented in early childhood with recurrent lower respiratory tract infection and respiratory distress. A 2 years and 6 months old girl presented with complaints of respiratory distress since birth and recurrent episode of cough since six month of age ,with opacity of the right hemithorax on X-ray, CT scans shows aplasia of the right lung. Patient was managed conservatively and his parents were counseled about the anomaly. The child is doing well and is in a regular follow-up with us. Aplasia of the lung should be suspected in children with recurrent respiratory distress with opacity of the hemithorax on X-ray and herniation of the opposite lung across the mediastinum.

We hereby report a case of a 55-year-old woman, with complaints of sudden onset outward protrusion of left eye progressing over 2 months, along with pain and loss of vision. Visual acuity in the affected eye was light perception only. On imaging, a well-defined solitary cystic lesion was noted in the retrobulbar space, which showed no enhancement on contrast-enhanced MRI. We performed fluid aspiration from the cyst under negative pressure and injected bleomycin as a sclerosant, without attempting a surgical excision. The proptosis reduced visibly, and after a week, visual acuity improved to finger counting at 1 m. At the 6 months follow-up, the patient did not show any recurrence of proptosis. This report highlights the importance of sclerosant therapy without the need for surgical excision in managing macrocystic lymphangiomas in adult age group.

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.

In a prospective cohort study, we evaluated X-ray VG in the management of non-surgical patients with clinically suspected PE. Thusfar follow up is available on 131 consecutive patients with suspected PE. In all patients a perfusion lungscan (PS) was carried out within 24 hours. In case of a normal PS (group A, n=32), no anticoagulant (AC) therapy was given. In case of an abnormal PS, AC therapy was started (heparin) and a bilateral ascending VG was carried out within 72 hours. In 46 patients (group C) venous thrombosis (DVT) was demonstrated by VG, and these patients were treated with AC for 6 months. In 53 patients with suspected PE and an abnormal lungscan, bilateral VG did not show DVT (group B). AC therapy was discontinued in these patients These patients were then screened for 14 days with fibrinogen legscanning and impedance plethysmography (IPG), followed by IPG alone every 2 months for at least 1 year. In group B, 6 patients died in the follow up period. None of the patients had signs of PE at autopsy. One additional patient in group B developed DVT documented by repeat VG, 6 months after entry into the trial. According to these preliminary data, it seems safe to base the decision whether or not to treat a patient with suspected PE with AC, on the presence or absence of DVT in the lower limbs as demonstrated by VG

During a median follow-up period of 9 years (ranging from 9 months to 25 years), 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiographic studies were undertaken in 155 patients after repair of tetralogy of Fallot. The patients were divided into two groups. Group A consisted of 76 patients in whom the right ventricular approach was used and group B comprised 79 patients whose repair was through the right atrium. A transannular patch was employed in all patients in group A and in none of the patients in group B. Age at surgery was between 1 and 37 years (median age 4.8 years). During follow-up, 37 patients (48.6%) in group A had significant ventricular arrhythmias (Lown grade 2 or higher) and 13 patients (15.4%) in group B had significant ventricular arrhythmias. A close relationship was observed between age at surgery and Lown grade (R2 = 0.374, p < 0.001) and between follow-up duration and Lown grade (R2 = 0.514, p < 0.001), especially when the two groups were analyzed separately (R2 = 0.502, 0.476, p < 0.001). In contrast, no significant relationship was observed between the ratio of right ventricular to left ventricular pressure and Lown grade or between right ventricular systolic pressure and Lown grade. Discriminant analysis revealed risk factors associated with postoperative ventricular arrhythmias are follow-up duration (partial F = 3.22, p < 0.01), right ventricular to pulmonary artery pressure gradient (partial F = 3.35, p < 0.01), and operative method (partial F = 2.4, p < 0.05). Despite antiarrhythmic therapy, 11 of 22 late postoperative deaths occurred suddenly, presumably from ventricular arrhythmias. In this series of patients, the right atrial and pulmonary artery approach significantly reduced the risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias after repair of tetralogy of Fallot.

Abstract: Radiology examination especially chest x-ray can enforce various kinds of pulmonary diseases inter alia pneumothorax. Pneumothorax is defined as the presence of air in the pleural cavity. The causes of pneumothorax are very diverse ranging from idiopathic, infection, trauma, and iatrogenic. This study was aimed to obtain the profile of chest x-ray in patients with pneumothorax. This was a retrospective descriptive study by using secondary data from the medical records at the Department of Radiology Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado from January 2015 to August 2016. Samples were the medical records of patients that were radiologically diagnosed as pneumothorax. There were 41 patients that were diagnosed radiologically as pneumothorax. The majority of cases were male (90.2%), age group >50 years (36.6%), location of lesion in the right hemithorax (53.7%), and secondary spontaneous pneumothorax as the etiology (43,9 %). Conclusion: In this study, pneumothorax was more common among males, age group of ≥50 years, and secondary spontaneous pneumothorax as the etiology of pneumothorax.Keywords: pneumothorax, radiology, chest x-ray Abstrak: Pemeriksaan radiologi khususnya foto toraks dapat menegakkan berbagai macam diagnosis penyakit paru, salah satunya ialah pneumotoraks.

Introduction: Extramedullar plasmocytoma (EMP) is a plasma cell disease, such as solitary plasmocytoma of the bone and multiple myeloma. It is developed in the soft tissues. Observation: A 79-year-old patient consulted for a painful tumefaction of the gum associated to a radiolucent area on the right side of the mandible on the panoramic x-ray. After surgical enucleation, histological examination showed that the diagnosis was either an IgA extramedullar plasmocytoma or a multiple myeloma. The spreading assessment eliminated the diagnosis of multiple myeloma. The patient was then treated with radiotherapy. Discussion: EMP is a rare tumoral disease. Few cases described oral localisation. The main differential diagnosis, that must be excluded is multiple myeloma. Transformation in multiple myeloma exists. The first intention treatment is radiotherapy of the lesion. Conclusion: EMP of the oral cavity is very rare. After treatment, follow-up is required to detect second localisation or progression in multiple myeloma.
