Portomesenteric venous gas does not always mean intestinal necrosis: report of a case.

Portomesenteric venous gas is a rare condition most commonly caused by mesenteric ischaemia. Mesenteric ischemia, can be life-threatining and requires immediate surgical intervention with a poor prognosis. During the laparotomy, intestinal necrosis and perforation are most common findings although some patients reveal no surgical pathology.

Incidentally detected renal adenomatosis in a patient with urolithiasis: a case report.

A renal epithelial tumor with a papillary or tubulopapillary pattern and a low nuclear grade is defined as a renal adenoma if its diameter is 5 mm or less. Two important issues related to the renal adenoma are the lack of exact criteria for the histopathological differentiation from a papillary renal cell carcinoma and the lack of consensus as to whether it is a precancerous lesion. Renal adenomatosis is very rarely seen entity entity characterized by multiple and usually bilateral adenomas.

Multidetector computed tomography in post-traumatic ventricular pseudoaneurysm.

We report a 20-year-old male with rare asymptomatic aneurysm of the left ventricle that was concluded to be a pseudoaneurysm given its calcified walls and the history of severe blunt chest trauma 8 years ago. Multidetector computed tomography (CT) angiography of the coronary vessels helped exclude vascular insult and suggest traumatic intramyocardial dissection as underlying etiopathogenesis, besides providing a good view of aneurysm and cardiac morphology in relation to coronary vessels.

[Subcutaneous emphysema of the face, neck and upper mediastinum following a minor maxillofacial trauma].

Subcutaneous emphysema is the inadvertent introduction of air into tissues under the skin covering the chest wall or neck. The common causes of subcutaneous emphysema are rib fracture, parenchymal lung wound and esophageal trauma. Rarely, it occurs after oral and nasal surgery or maxillofacial trauma.

Painless, acute aortic dissection presenting as an acute stroke.

Acute aortic dissection is an uncommon disease; however, it has a high mortality rate. Classically, aortic dissection presents with sudden and severe pain in the chest, back, or abdomen. Patients often describe tearing or ripping pain.

Posttraumatic pneumocephalus-induced bilateral oculomotor nerve palsy.

Bilateral third nerve palsy often points to the involvement of its nucleus. Third nerve palsy as a result of posttraumatic nuclear involvement is an extremely rare condition. A 23-year-old man presented with a depressed skull fracture after acute head trauma and had Glasgow Coma Scale Score of 9.
