A Case of Postoperative Noncardiogenic Edema: Negative Pressure Pulmonary Edema.

A case of complete recovery of negative pressure pulmonary edema after a Cottle surgery in a 24-year-old male. Negative pressure pulmonary edema is an important cause of postoperative noncardiogenic edema, with the spontaneous disappearance of all complaints within a relatively short period.

Hepatic Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma Mimicking Liver Metastases in a Young Woman.

When confronted with multifocal "metastasis-like" liver lesions without a known primary tumor, in particular in younger female patients, considering hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) in the differential diagnosis can guide pathological examination and potentially avoid the need for multiple invasive biopsies.

MRI in addition to CT in patients scheduled for local therapy of colorectal liver metastases (CAMINO): an international, multicentre, prospective, diagnostic accuracy trial.

Background: Guidelines are inconclusive on whether contrast-enhanced MRI using gadoxetic acid and diffusion-weighted imaging should be added routinely to CT in the investigation of patients with colorectal liver metastases who are scheduled for curative liver resection or thermal ablation, or both. Although contrast-enhanced MRI is reportedly superior than contrast-enhanced CT in the detection and characterisation of colorectal liver metastases, its effect on clinical patient management is unknown. We aimed to assess the clinical effect of an additional liver contrast-enhanced MRI on local treatment plan in patients with colorectal liver metastases amenable to local treatment, based on contrast-enhanced CT.

Combined Ablation and Resection for Colorectal Liver Metastases in the Minimally Invasive Surgical Era.

Background: Thermal ablation is an accepted treatment modality for small and central liver tumors. In extensive colorectal liver metastatic disease (CRLM), hepatectomy can be combined with ablation, resulting in a parenchymal-sparing strategy. This may increase salvageability rates in case of recurrence.

Chronic cluster headache and the pituitary gland.

Background: Cluster headache is classified as a primary headache by definition not caused by an underlying pathology. However, symptomatic cases of otherwise typical cluster headache have been reported.

Case Presentation: A 47-year-old male suffered from primary chronic cluster headache (CCH, ICHD-3 beta criteria fulfilled) since the age of 35 years.
