Significance of Diagnostic Findings of Placenta Percreta by Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Pathological Correlation.

Placenta percreta is a rare form of disorder found in the spectrum of placenta accreta and represents a considerable cause of maternal complications with an increase in mortality. The radiologist's role is essential due to the support of images acquired by magnetic resonance imaging, given their high sensitivity and specificity to predict the degree of placental invasion in substitution or accompaniment of the ultrasound study between 28 and 32 weeks of gestation. We present the case of a 29-year-old patient who was in her third pregnancy with a history of two cesarean sections at the ISSSTE Regional Hospital in Monterrey, Nuevo León.

Splenic Artery Pseudoaneurysm as a Complication of Chronic Pancreatitis.

Splenic artery pseudoaneurysms represent one of the most feared vascular complications of chronic pancreatitis. Sectional imaging studies such as computed tomography represent the first-line diagnostic tool for this pathology, being found as an incidental finding in patients with risk factors. We report the case of a splenic artery pseudoaneurysm in a 55-year-old patient diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis.
