[Essex-Lopresti lesion is often undiagnosed].

In this review, the diagnostics of the Essex-Lopresti lesion is discussed. The lesion is a combination of fracture of the head of radius, rupture of the interosseous mebrane (IOM) and dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint. The lesion is often overlooked in the primary clinical settings, and it is correlated to severe instability, osteoarthritis and pain if untreated.

[Wilkie's syndrome as the cause of stomach pain in a young woman].

Wilkie's syndrome is a rare condition in which a decreased angle and distance between the superior mesenteric artery and aorta causes a compression of the third part of the duodenum, resulting ultimately in gastric dilation, gastric rupture and acute ischaemia of the bowel. The early symp-toms are those of duodenal obstruction. It is clinically char-acteristic, easily recognised on diagnostic imaging and is treated either conservatively or surgically.
