[Spontaneous splenic rupture secondary to infectious mononucleosis].

Splenic rupture is a rare but potentially fatal complication of infectious mononucleosis. We report the case of an 18-year-old woman, who presented a 7-day history of abdominal pain, sudden temporary loss of consciousness and fever. Admission blood tests showed anemia, and lymphocytosis.

Computed tomography imaging of complications of acute cholecystitis.

Acute cholecystitis (AC) is a frequent complication of biliary cholelithiasis. Although ultrasound is the first diagnostic imaging procedure, frequently the initial imaging modality is computed tomography (CT). Therefore, familiarization of CT findings in AC and potential related complications are extremely important.

CT findings of the main pathological conditions associated with horseshoe kidneys.

Horseshoe kidney (HSK) is the most common renal fusion anomaly, with a prevalence of 0.25% among the general population. It consists of kidney fusion across the midline.

Acute prevertebral calcific tendinitis: a source of non-surgical acute cervical pain.

Background: Prevertebral calcific tendinitis results from calcium hydroxyapatite crystal deposits in the longus colli muscles, which induce symptoms similar to some surgically-treated conditions, such as retropharyngeal abscesses. Imaging techniques are critical for accurate diagnosis.

Purpose: To describe the computed tomography (CT) findings associated with prevertebral calcific tendinitis.
