Supernumerary kidney is a rare clinical entity with fused supernumerary kidney being even rarer. Caudally located fused right supernumerary kidney with multiple nephrolithiasis was diagnosed in a 69-years-old lady by Computed Tomography Urography. A separate renal artery arising from the abdominal aorta as well as separate renal vein draining into the inferior vena cava was present along with right sided bifid collecting system. Embryological basis of origin of supernumerary kidney, its diagnosis, clinical significance and management are discussed.

Routine Chest

A 36-year-old asymptomatic female had a routine chest radiograph to exclude pulmonary tuberculosis, as part of an employee wellness programme. There was opacification of the right lower thorax. Computed tomography and venography demonstrated an incidental right Bochdalek hernia with interruption of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and hepatic venous collateral continuation. The association of a Bochdalek hernia with an anomaly of the IVC is rare, with only one case described in the literature.

Inferior vena cava anomalies are rare, occurring in up to 8.7% of the population, as left renal vein anomalies are considered. The inferior vena cava develops from the sixth to the eighth gestational weeks, originating from three paired embryonic veins, namely the subcardinal, supracardinal and postcardinal veins. This complex ontogenesis of the inferior vena cava, with multiple anastomoses between the pairs of embryonic veins, leads to a number of anatomic variations in the venous return from the abdomen and lower limbs. Some of such variations have significant clinical and surgical implications related to other cardiovascular anomalies and in some cases associated with venous thrombosis of lower limbs, particularly in young adults. The authors reviewed images of ten patients with inferior vena cava anomalies, three of them with deep venous thrombosis. The authors highlight the major findings of inferior vena cava anomalies at multidetector computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, correlating them the embryonic development and demonstrating the main alternative pathways for venous drainage. The knowledge on the inferior vena cava anomalies is critical in the assessment of abdominal images to avoid misdiagnosis and to indicate the possibility of associated anomalies, besides clinical and surgical implications.

Aim: to analize computed tomography data while planning autotransplantation of the liver for advanced alveococcosis.Materials and Methods.A retrospective analysis of the results of multidetector computed tomography of the abdomen and retroperitoneal space of 7 patients with advanced liver alveococcosis was made in order to plan autotransplantation. Besides a description of the location and size of parasitic lesion for each patient relationship with main vessels was evaluated - the inferior vena cava, hepatic and portal veins, hepatic arteries, and the presence of extrahepatic component. The vessel assessed as involved in the pathological process not only in case of clear invasion, but also with abutment because of infiltrative growth of alveococcus. The accuracy of the method was estimated by comparison with the intraoperative data.Results.The data of computed tomography while the planning of liver autotransplantation coincided with the intraoperative data in all examined patients. The main criteria indicating the need for this type of surgical intervention was the involvement of the retrohepatic part of the inferior vena cava to the caval gates inclusive and/or hepatic veins. With extrahepatic spread of parasitic masses it is possible to affect not only the surrounding organs, but also the main vessels, for example, with growth in the hepatic-duodenal ligament. Thus, in one patient during the operation, the occlusion of artery hepatica propria was confirmed. In two cases of recurrence of the parasitic process after rightsided hemihepatectomy, the almost identical pattern of involvement of the liver resection surface, inferior cava and portal veins, diaphragm, adrenal gland in combination with a extent adhesive process in the right subdiaphragmal space.Conclusions.CT scan data allowed to correctly plan the volume of operative intervention – autotransplantation of the liver – in all the examined patients. It is of interest to evaluate the accuracy of the method on a larger group of patients.
