[Enterovenous fistula. An unusual complication of Crohn disease].

We report a case of enterovenous fistula in a young 22-year-old patient with Crohn's disease associated with jaundice. Ultrasound and computed tomography showed stationary gaz and barium in the liver. Pathological examination showed a fistula between the lumen of the inflamed segment of the ileum and the superior mesenteric venous system.

[Magnetic resonance imaging in osteoid osteoma].

The purpose of this study was to determine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of osteoid osteomas and to evaluate the place of MRI in the diagnostic workup of suspected osteoid osteoma by comparing its diagnostic value with that of computed tomography (CT). Nine patients with radioclinical features highly suggestive of osteoid osteoma were investigated using bone scintigraphy, CT scan and MRI. MRI sequences were weighted for T1 (TR: 500 ms-TE: 34 ms), T2 (TR:2000 ms-TE:50-100 ms) and T1 after intravenous injection of gadolinium-DTPA contrast material.

[Magnetic resonance imaging in the bone sites of malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Apropos of 16 cases].

The primordial role of MRI in the staging of primary or secondary bone tumors has been clearly established. The authors report a study of 16 patients with NHL with suspected bone involvement, investigated by conventional radiography, bone scan, CT, bone marrow biopsy and MRI. The authors believe that, in the future, MRI will have an important role in the staging and follow-up of treatment of bone lymphomas.
