Presentation: We present a case of 50-year-old lady who present with 1-month history of uncontrolled hypertension.
Diagnosis: Magnetic resonance angiography showed stenosis of the left renal artery just beyond the ostium extending over approximately 7mm in length. Computed tomography angiography show focal narrowing of the proximal renal artery just distal to vessel origin, approximately 60% stenosis.
Rationale: Occasional cases of bronchiolitis show pathologic features somewhat suggestive of constrictive bronchiolitis, but with granulation tissue plugs that variably occlude the lumen in a pattern more typical of organizing pneumonia. These cases are poorly defined in the literature and the course of patients with this pattern of disease is unclear.
Objective: To describe an uncommon and potentially treatable pattern of acute bronchiolitis that has been termed fibrosing bronchiolitis.
Objective: The aim of this study was to quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate pulmonary 64-MDCT angiography image quality in pregnancy and puerperium, compared with female nonpregnant control subjects.
Materials And Methods: The study group comprised 124 consecutive pregnant and postpartum women and 124 female nonpregnant control subjects who presented with suspected pulmonary embolism. The individual studies were evaluated for subjective and objective diagnostic quality.
Background: There are conflicting data in the literature about the sensitivity of sestamibi scintigraphy in parathyroid tumour localisation in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).
Aim: We aimed to evaluate the overall sensitivity of this modality in parathyroid tumour localisation and to determine clinical and biochemical factors which influence sensitivity of this method.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 57 patients with a biochemical diagnosis of PHPT who had sestamibi scintigraphy performed.
