Recurrent left Bockdalek hernia in adult, a rare cause of subocclusive syndrome.

To present a rare clinical case of a subocclusive syndrome caused by recurrence of a left Bockdalek hernia, with emphasis on the radiological diagnosis and surgical treatment. The current paper presents a 36 year old female with past surgical history of Bockdalek hernia repaired 7 years ago using a diaphragmorrhaphy by thoraco-abdominal approach who presented with a subocclusive syndrome and epigastric pain. Upper endoscopy showed a duodenal ulcer positive for H.

Gastric metastasis of cervix uteri carcinoma, rare cause of lower gastric stenosis.

Aim: the paper presents a rare case of metachronous gastric metastasis of uterine cervix cancer, clinically manifested through severe pyloric stenosis.

Method: 49-year-old patient, operated on in January 2009, with uterine cervix cancer (Squamous cell carcinoma T2bN1M0), is hospitalized in August 2011 with pyloric stenosis: epigastric pains, abundant, stasis, late postprandial emesis, significant weight loss, stomach form visible upon abdomen inspection. Endoscopy: antral stenosis with intact gastric mucosa, and CT-scan: circumferential intramural gastric tumor, stomach dilated in the upper part, lack of cleavage between the tumor and the liver bed of the gall bladder.

[Primary pulmonary hypertension--morphologic study].

Primary pulmonary hypertension is characterized by elevation of pulmonary arterial pressure over 25 mm Hg with increasing of pulmonary vascular resistance. Primary pulmonary hypertension is the result of idiopathic narrowing of pulmonary arteries and extensive remodeling of the pulmonary vasculature in case of lack of the pulmonary interstitial disease, cardiac diseases, and pulmonary thromboembolism. The morphological study revealed the histological vascular elements characteristic in arterial hypertension (intimal proliferation, medial hypertrophy, plexiform and dilatative lesions) associated with recent and organized arterial thrombosis secondary to intimal lesions through a recent infectious process.
