An unusual triad of pneumatosis intestinalis, portal venous gas and pneumoperitoneum in an asymptomatic patient.

Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is defined as the presence of gas within the serosal or mucosal layer bowel wall. This sign is usually found upon radiographic imaging and is most commonly secondary to acute gastro-intestinal ischaemia. Fifteen per cent of cases can present with a primary condition called pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI).

Urethral diverticulum mimicking anterior vaginal wall prolapse: case report.

Unfamiliar cystic formations may develop in the anterior vaginal wall. In view of the close proximity of the anterior vagina to the urethra and bladder, it is important that management of such masses is carefully planned after detailed examination and investigation. Herein, we present the case of an unusual painful swelling in the anterior vaginal wall that was first diagnosed as vaginal wall prolapse.

Feasibility of abdomino-pelvic T1-weighted real-time thermal mapping of laser ablation.

Purpose: To prove the hypothesis that T1-weighted (T1W) thermal mapping is reliable and achievable in magnetic resonance (MR)-guided laser tumor ablation.

Materials And Methods: Near real-time gray and color-scale T1W thermal maps in 111 MR-guided laser thermal ablations (LTA) of liver, kidney, and uterine tumors were studied. After laser fiber placement, near real-time gray and color-scale thermal maps were produced.
