Case report of a lithopedion of tubal location, in a young woman.

Lithopedion is a rare situation, corresponding to an ectopic pregnancy which evolves beyond the first trimester toward death and fetal calcification. This ectopic pregnancy is most often abdominal in location. Through this case report, we report the case of a lithopedion of left tubal localization in a young woman, diagnosed on CT scan following abdominal pain and confirmed by laparotomy with excision.

Rupture of an aneurysm of the gastroduodenal artery mimicking a tumor of the head of the pancreas in a case report.

Gastroduodenal artery aneurysms have a low incidence of less than 1.5% of all splanchnic aneurysms. Rupture is frequent and life-threatening.

[The abdominal pseudocyst: a complication of ventriculoperitoneal bypass about a case].

The abdominal pseudocyst is a rare complication that can occur in subjects with a ventriculoperitoneal drain (VPD). We report the case of an 11-year-old adolescent with congenital hydrocephalus antecedent, for whom a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was made. He presented a progressive abdominal distension without notion of transit disorders.

[Place of tomodensitometry in the management of acute intestinal occlusions in Dakar].

Introduction: Acute intestinal obstruction (AIO) is a syndrome defined by the cessation of intestinal transit caused by an obstacle or paralysis of intestinal peristalsis. It is a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency. The multi-bar CT scan has revolutionized the management of this pathology, as it allows the surgeon to answer different questions.

[Contribution of ultrasound in the management of acute intestinal intussusception of the infant].

Objective: The objective of this work was to study the place of ultrasound in the positive diagnosis, etiology and choice of the therapeutic modality of acute intestinal intussusception.

Material And Methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional, multicenterstudy, carried out over a period of 18 months (January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017) on 45 patient files collected in the radiologydepartments (Aristide Le Dantec and Albert Royer). Were included all patients aged less than 14 years, admitted with acute abdominal pain, whose diagnosis of IIA was retained on ultrasound.

[Sorting and detection of COVID-19 by low-dose thoracic CT scan in patients consulting the radiology department of Fann hospital (Dakar-Senegal)].

Introduction: COVID-19 has spread rapidly since its emergence in China and is currently a global health issue. Its definitive diagnosis is made by PCR on nasopharyngeal swabs. However, this diagnostic test has low sensitivity with delayed results.

Tuberculosis arthritis of the sternoclavicular joint after uncomplicated falciparum malaria: a case report.

Background: Malaria and tuberculosis are co-endemic in many developing countries. However their associations are rarely reported. Yet, it has been suggested that a pathological process may link the two diseases.

[Diagnosis of strangulated Spiegel hernia based on CT scan: about a case].

We report a case of a 86-year old woman with Spiegel hernia complicated by occlusion whose diagnosis was based on CT scan. She was examined in the Emergency Surgery Department for brutal onset of pain in the right iliac fossa associated with vomiting. On physical examination the patient was febrile (38.

[Scannographic investigation in the diagnosis of inguinoscrotal bladder hernia].

We report the case of a 67-year old patient with a personal history of inguinal hernia, presenting with a large painless bag associated with urinary disorders, similar to pollakiuria, evolving for several months. Ultrasound allowed to reveal an emptiness in the bladder bag, urinary stasis and a collection of fluid in the scrotum, evoking a hydrocele. Abdominal/pelvic CT scan showed right intrascrotal bladder associated with left direct inguinal hernia and bilateral urinary stasis.

[Mesenteric volvulus associated with mesenteric lipoma: about a case].

We report the case of a 7-year old patient presenting for acute paroxysmal abdominal pain at the level of epigastrium associated with vomiting without involving blockage of materials and gas. Clinical examination and laboratory tests were unremarkable. Abdominal ultrasound was requested as a first line investigationa and showed a right echogenic homogeneous flank and iliac fossa mass with regular contours without vascular Doppler signal and associated with "whirl sign" of mesenteric vessels.

[The contribution of MRI in the management of slowly progressive nontraumatic spinal cord compression].

Slow spinal cord compressions are due to the development of an expansive lesion within the medullary canal. This is a very common condition whose diagnosis is primarily clinical. The magnetic resonance imaging occupies a central and currently irreplaceable position in diagnosis and localization as well as in etiological research.

[Role of biliary MRI in etiological diagnosis of cholestatic icteruses in Dakar].

Biliary MRI is a relatively new diagnostic test in the arsenal of exploration techniques in biliopancreatic pathology. This is a reproducible and reliable non invasive technique for direct visualization of biliary and pancreatic ducts. This study aims to evaluate the morphological features of major abnormalities and the role of biliary MRI in the etiological diagnosis of cholestatic icteruses.

[Torsion of wandering spleen in a teenager: about a case].

Wandering or migrating spleen is a rare anomaly which is usually described in children. Complications, which include pedicle torsion, are common and can be life-threatening. We report the case of a 17 year-old patient with a long past medical history of epigastric pain suffering from wandering spleen with chronic torsion of the pedicle.
