Adrenal Hemorrhage as a Complication of Plug-assisted Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration of Gastrorenal Shunt Managed by Adrenal Artery Embolization: A Case Report.

We describe a patient who underwent plug-assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration for gastric varices. After the procedure, the patient developed hypotension and tachycardia. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a left adrenal hematoma.

Endovascular Management of Thenar-Hypothenar Aneurysms: Two Case Reports and Review of Literature.

Thenar-hypothenar arterial aneurysms are rare, presenting as either true aneurysms or pseudoaneurysms. Traditionally, surgical repair has been the mainstay of treatment for these aneurysms, with only isolated cases of endovascular management reported. In this study, we describe two cases of thenar-hypothenar aneurysms successfully managed with coil embolization, accompanied by a brief literature review.

Efficacy and safety of percutaneous microwave ablation for hepatocellular carcinomas <4 cm in difficult location.

Objective: Tumor location is a critical factor for determining technical success and local recurrence following percutaneous ablation of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC). The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the safety and outcome measures of percutaneous microwave ablation (pMWA) for HCCs <4 cm in difficult locations.

Methods: Retrospective review included 81 patients who underwent pMWA for HCCs <4 cm.

Plug-Assisted Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration (PARTO): Anatomical Factors Determining Procedure Outcome.

Purpose: To study various anatomical factors determining procedure success versus failure for plug-assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration (PARTO) of gastro-lieno-renal shunt.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of 50 patients (M:F-37:13; mean age 58.4yrs) who were planned for PARTO of gastro-lieno-renal shunt from July 2017 to July 2019 was done.

Combined Balloon-, Plug- and Coil-assisted Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration of Multiple Portosystemic Shunts to Treat Recurrent Hepatic Encephalopathy: A Case Report.

Balloon- or plug-assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration of portosystemic shunts is an effective endovascular technique for the treatment of type B bypass hepatic encephalopathy. We describe a patient who underwent balloon- and plug-assisted obliteration for a lienorenal and lienogonadal shunt, respectively. He returned with symptoms of recurrent hepatic encephalopathy two years later due to reformation of new lienorenal and lienogonadal shunts.

Large Solitary Pulmonary Cryptococcoma Mimicking Lung Carcinoma in an Immunocompetent Patient.

Cryptococcosis is a life-threatening mycosis typically seen in immunocompromised patients. Pulmonary cryptococcosis generally presents as multiple or solitary nodular opacities. Cryptococcal infection presenting as a destructing cavernoma (cryptococcoma) without diffuse infiltration of the lung is an extremely rare presentation, even in immunocompromised patients.

Juvenile Granulosa Cell Tumour of the Ovary with Unilocular Pure Cystic Presentation: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Background: Granulosa cell tumours of the ovary are rare, hormonally active, oestrogen-secreting tumours of the ovary existing in two forms: the adult form and the even rarer juvenile form. These tumours present as predominantly solid lesions while the cystic, unilocular presentation is uncommon.

Case Report: We present an 18-year-old unmarried girl who presented with complaints of chronic pain, abdominal distension and presence of facial hair.

Isolated primary orbital hydatid disease presenting as multiple cystic lesions: a rare cause of proptosis.

Echinococcal infection is a consequence of accidental ingestion of tapeworm eggs by humans. Liver scrutinises the initial haematogenous spread of portal blood and thus it is the most common organ involved. Isolated, primary involvement of other organs is a rarity.

Prenatal diagnosis of hypophosphatasia congenita using ultrasonography.

Congenital hypophosphatasia is a rare fatal skeletal dysplasia. Antenatal determinants of lethality include small thoracic circumference with pulmonary hypoplasia and severe micromelia. These features were present in the fetus of a 25-year-old female who came for an anomaly scan in her second trimester of pregnancy.

An unusual association of Ménétrier's disease with a gastric bezoar.

Ménétrier's disease is a rare protein-losing hypertrophic gastroenteropathy. While it still remains a medical curiosity, infection with Cytomegalovirus and Helicobacter pylori, and hormonal, congenital, dietary and neurogenic factors have been postulated as causative factors. We describe a case of a 14-year boy who presented with epigastric discomfort, vomiting, inability to gain weight and pedal oedema.

Wandering spleen with torsion causing pancreatic volvulus and associated intrathoracic gastric volvulus. An unusual triad and cause of acute abdominal pain.

Context: Wandering spleen is a rare medical entity in which the spleen is orphaned of its usual peritoneal attachments and thus assumes an ever wandering and hypermobile state. This laxity of attachments may even cause torsion of the splenic pedicle. Both gastric volvulus and wandering spleen share a common embryology owing to maldevelopment of the dorsal mesentery.

Extension of pancreatic pseudocyst into psoas muscle in a setting of acute pancreatitis.

Pancreatic pseudocysts are known to extend beyond the confines of the pancreatic bed due to the digestive nature of enzyme rich pancreatic fluid. Extension of a pseudocyst beyond the retroperitoneum, along the retrofascial plane within the psoas muscle is, however, unusual, with only a handful of cases described in the literature. We report a case of a 28-year-old man who presented with right lumbar pain and painful ipsilateral hip extension.
