Yersinia pseudotuberculosis sepsis presenting as multiple liver abscesses.

A 50-year-old man with diabetes was found to have sepsis with multiple small hepatic abscesses secondary to Yersinia pseudotuberculosis which were detected by computed tomography (CT) scan. Sepsis with Y. pseudotuberculosis is uncommon but usually seen in patients with underlying liver disease.

Computed tomography in urothelial tumors of renal pelvis and related filling defects.

Our study includes 12 patients. Of these, six had transitional cell carcinoma, three patients with stones and three patients with blood clots. With the use of computed tomography we were able to arrive at a reasonable staging and diagnosis of the filling defects.

Left lobe of the liver draping around the spleen: a pitfall in computed tomography diagnosis of perisplenic hematoma.

Computed tomography scanning has become one of the prime modalities in the diagnosis of trauma to the spleen (1-6). We present three cases of potential pitfall in computed tomography scan diagnosis. In the first case, computed tomography scan showed a high-attenuation perisplenic density in the superio-lateral region of the spleen compatible with a perisplenic hematoma.

Computerized tomography in intracardiac tumors.

Two cases of cardiac tumors were studied by computerized tomography. The first patient presented with cerebral embolization from left atrial tumor. Chest X-ray showed calcification in the region of the atria.
