'The ins and outs of abdominal pain': a case report of a transomental internal hernia.

We present the case of a 46-year-old man admitted with acute abdominal pain with no obvious cause despite simple investigations. Further imaging revealed a rare transomental internal hernia. At exploratory laparotomy, the hernia was released, no bowel resection was required and the patient was discharged 2 days later.

Role of radiology in the management of primary aldosteronism.

The diagnosis of primary aldosteronism, the most common form of secondary hypertension, is based on clinical and biochemical features. Although radiology plays no role in the initial diagnosis, it has an important role in differentiating between the two main causes of primary aldosteronism: aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) and bilateral adrenal hyperplasia (BAH). This distinction is important because APAs are generally managed surgically and BAH medically.
