Article Synopsis
- Intestinal volvulus is a serious condition that can cause bowel obstruction and reduced blood flow to the intestines, potentially leading to death if not treated.
- Symptoms of volvulus are often unclear but usually include sudden abdominal pain, distension, nausea, and vomiting.
- A highlighted case in the article involves a patient who showed respiratory symptoms rather than typical gastrointestinal signs, making diagnosis challenging, with contrast-enhanced CT scans being the preferred diagnostic tool.
Article Synopsis
- Left renal vein variants are rare but important to recognize due to their potential clinical impacts, particularly during surgeries.
- Standard anatomy involves the renal vein running in front of the aorta to the inferior vena cava, whereas common variants include circumaortic or retroaortic veins.
- A unique case is presented in which the left renal vein is compressed by the left iliac artery and vertebral bodies, also linked to superior mesenteric artery syndrome, where the duodenum gets compressed between major blood vessels.
The term congenital lung malformation (CLM) is used to describe a wide range of pathological conditions with different imaging and clinical manifestations. These anomalies stem from abnormal embryological lung development, potentially occurring across various stages of prenatal life. Their natural history can be variable, presenting in a wide range of severity levels and encompassing asymptomatic individuals who remain so until adulthood, as well as those who experience respiratory distress in the neonatal period.

- Acute colonic diverticulitis (ACD) is a serious abdominal issue stemming from diverticular disease, which can vary from mild inflammation to severe complications like fecal peritonitis, making accurate diagnosis essential.
- Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) is a key diagnostic tool due to its excellent sensitivity and ability to accurately identify inflamed areas and complications, while also helping to rule out other conditions.
- The study introduces a structured reporting template aimed at standardizing terminology to enhance communication among medical specialists involved in the treatment of ACD.
