Bronchoscopic biopsy revealed a carcinoid tumor. As the patient was asymptomatic, she refused surgery in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.Lymphocele formation following pelvic lymphadenectomy is a well-known complication. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Amprenavir-(Agenerase).html In this article, we report a 56 years old female patient with a pelvic infected lymphocele fistulised in the sigmoid discovered in imaging 2 months after pelvic surgery. Lymphocele complications are rare and their diagnosis is based on imaging. However, lymphocele as a potential cause for fistula in the bowel as a particular new case has not been found in literature search.Three types of cardiac outpouchings are encountered on cardiovascular imaging diverticula, aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms. The underlying physiology, imaging findings, risk of rupture, and optimal treatment varies for each and a correct diagnosis is critical. We report a case of a rare, incidentally discovered right ventricular aneurysm that was characterized by transthoracic echocardiogram, computed tomography, and cardiac MRI. The types of cardiac outpouchings are reviewed, and we discuss the selection of imaging modality, keys to distinguishing the outpouchings, and management strategies.We present the case of a 72-year-old male with a right carotid aneurysm incidentally discovered after an ischemic stroke. After management of the stroke, stent-assisted coil embolization was performed to treat the aneurysm. Two simultaneous and early complications occurred new ischemic strokes and branch retinal artery occlusions, respectively in the right occipital lobe and in the right eye. Treatment of unruptured carotid aneurysm using stent-assisted coil embolization can lead to severe complications involving both the brain and the retina. Multidisciplinary and close surveillance of patients should be performed to diagnose adverse effects of this endovascular treatment.A 53-year-old man, who performed a 44-minute dive to a depth of 21 meters, felt severe abdominal pain with dyspnea after surfacing. An ultrasound study showed a marked snowstorm pattern in the portal vein of the liver and right ventricle, and whole body computed tomography revealed multiple gas bubbles in the right ventricle, inferior vena cava, portal, mesenteric and femoral vein. He was thus diagnosed to have decompression sickness and was therefore transported to another hospital to undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Patients who present with abdominal symptoms after diving should be immediately evaluated by ultrasound and computed tomography.Haemobilia is defined as bleeding from the biliary system due to abnormal communication between a blood vessel and the bile ducts. Melena or hematemesis, abdominal pain and jaundice represent the pathognomonic triad for haemobilia, but clinical presentation and aetiology of this entity are extremely variable. We report a case of a 50-year-old man with melena and anaemia and a clinical history of multivalvular endocarditis in which an extremely rare presence of 2 uncommon causes of haemobilia was found, such as a mycotic pseudoaneurysm and a giant hepatic haemangioma, both treated by transarterial embolization. In the management of haemobilia, TAE has been proven to be the treatment of choice because it combines a diagnostic angiography with therapeutic intervention in a minimally invasive, safe and effective way. Physician and radiologist should keep in mind also the uncommon aetiologies of haemobilia, knowing that the source of bleeding could be more than just one.A 79-year-old Asian man with paranasal cancer underwent 2-[18F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) to evaluate metastatic lesions. Unexpected FDG accumulation during subarachnoid hemorrhage due to an aneurysm rupture visualized with FDG-PET/CT. It is rare to encounter life-threatening diseases in FDG-PET/CT because FDG-PET/CT is usually scheduled beforehand. However, an immediate response is warranted in unexpected conditions. Physicians who perform FDG-PET/CT should be familiar with life-threatening FDG-PET findings.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is regarded as the most specific and sensitive of imaging modalities for the detection and progression of osteonecrosis (ON). We present MRI progression of ON in the knee in a 40-year-old female patient with Sjogren disease-related interstitial nephritis recently initiated on corticosteroids for deteriorating renal function. This case report correlates the degree of surrounding marrow edema with the patient's symptoms.Since the widespread of acute respiratory syndrome infection caused by Coronavirus-19, unenhanced computed tomography (CT) was considered a useful imaging tool commonly used in early diagnosis and monitoring of patients with complicated Covid-19 pneumonia. Many typical imaging features of this disease were described such as bilateral multilobar ground-glass opacity (GGO) with a prevalent peripheral or posterior distribution, mainly in the lower lobes, and sometimes consolidative opacities superimposed on GGO. As less common findings were mentioned septal thickening, bronchiectasis, pleural thickening, and subpleural involvement. Here we describe the case of a patient, with Covid-19 pneumonia, that had the spider web sign, a triangular or angular GGO in the subpleural lung, documented at CT.Abdominal compartment syndrome can be a lethal entity when not treated in a timely fashion. Current standard of care involves emergent decompressive laparotomy by the surgical team. In this case, a 52-year-old male who developed abdominal compartment syndrome secondary to hemoperitoneum underwent emergent drain placement as decompressive laparotomy was not an optimal option for management. Little literature exists on the utility of drain placement or paracentesis for decompression in overall patient morbidity and mortality. However, when necessary, drain placement shows similar outcomes when compared to the standard of care. Interventional radiologists are uniquely positioned to provide drainage guided management for abdominal compartment syndrome in emergent settings.Aneurysms of lobar branches of pulmonary artery are extremely rare with few reported cases in literature. The exact etiopathogenesis of pulmonary artery aneurysms is not clearly understood and no clear guidelines on their management is available. Aneurysms of the secondary and tertiary branches appear to be even more uncommon than those of the trunk and primary branches. Here we report an unusual case of young female with multiple pulmonary artery aneurysms in bilateral lungs with fusiform dilation of main pulmonary trunk and a small patent ductus arteriosus.
