[Embolization of head and neck hypervascular lesions. A retrospective study of 5 cases].

Embolisation of head and neck hypervascular tumours and arterioveinous malformations (AVMs) is now a well-established therapeutic procedure. The purpose of this study was to analyse the technique and to evaluate the safety and value of preoperative embolization of hypervascular lesions. We retrospectively reviewed the records of 5 patients, agged between 14 and 47 years, with hypervascular tumours and AVMs in the head and neck.

[Emergency embolization in gynaecological bleeding. Two case reports].

Two patients with gynaecological hemorrhage underwent successfully trans-arterial embolization. The first womanhad an uncontrollable perineal hemorrhage following a delivery with forceps. Angiography showed extravasation of contrast from right and left vaginal artery.

[Intramural small-bowel hematoma due to anticoagulant therapy: a radiologic study; with regard to two cases].

We report two cases of spontaneous small bowel hematoma in two patients receiving long-term anticoagulant therapy. Plain abdominal film, ultrasound, CT-scan and oral barium examination were performed. Abdominal ultrasonography and CT-scan are in most cases relevant for the correct diagnosis of intra-mural small bowel hematoma.

[Supernumerary kidney: a case report].

We report a case of a supernumerary kidney discovered while investigating an isolated pyuria in a 47-year-old male patient. Embryology and diagnostic difficulties are discussed.

[Left paraduodenal internal hernia. A new case report].

Objective: Remind the clinical and radiological features of the internal left para duodenal hernia.

Materials And Method: We report the case of a left para duodenal hernia in a 30 years old woman who suffers of an acute abdominal pain explored by ultra sonography, barium upper gastro intestinal radiography, computed tomography and MRI.

Results: CT shows a well limited intra abdominal mass composed of small bowel wrapped in a bag of peritoneum, and moving to the left the mesenteric axis

Conclusion: Left internal para duodenal hernia is a rare phenomenon and is frequently non diagnosed.
