[Combined bipolar radiofrequency and cementoplasty of bone metastases].

Bone metastases are the most common cause of pain in cancer patients. Pain management in cancer patients, often revealing the disease and always present at advanced stages, is an important and difficult task. Pain is not always properly controlled by high doses of specific medication, radiation therapy or chemotherapy.

[Sigmoid volvulus: value of CT].

We report a case of sigmoid volvulus. CT findings are presented. The value of CT compared to abdominal plain radiographs and contrast enema is described.

Small bowel obstruction secondary to phytobezoar CT findings.

A rare cause of small bowel obstruction due to a phytobezoar is reported. CT demonstrated an ovoid intraluminal mass with mottled gas pattern within the small bowel and intestinal obstruction signs. We believe that these CT findings are pathognomonic of this condition.

Strangulated transomental hernia: CT findings.

We report a case of surgically confirmed strangulation of small bowel through a defect in the greater omentum. Computed tomography demonstrated the presence and the location of this very unusual internal abdominal hernia. Those findings are presented.
