Evaluation of Multidetector Computed Tomography in the Diagnosis of Intestinal Obstruction.

Background Acute intestinal obstruction is a commonly encountered surgical emergency that is prevalent worldwide and has substantial morbidity and fatality rates. Therefore, swift and precise diagnosis is essential. While mortality rates in urban areas have declined due to timely medical intervention following early detection, the situation contrasts starkly in rural areas.

A Rare Case of Primary Posterior Abdominal Wall Muscle Hydatid Cyst With Thoracolumbar Spinal Extension.

Primary intramuscular hydatid cysts are uncommon due to the contractile nature of muscles and their lactic acid content. Hydatid cysts with spinal extension are sometimes seen with primary vertebral body involvement. Our patient presented with a slow-growing posterior abdominal wall mass, and upon magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), it was revealed to be several cystic lesions in the abdomen wall with extension through the neural foramina into the spinal canal.

Diffuse Uterine Leiomyomatosis: A Rare Case of Symmetrically Enlarged Uterus.

A rarely reported case of diffuse uterine leiomyomatosis is observed in a 43-year-old nulliparous female presenting with abdominal distension and primary infertility. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen and pelvis revealed an enlarged uterus with multiple well-defined lobulated lesions of varying sizes, causing symmetrical uterine enlargement and displacing the adjacent bowel loops superolaterally. The compression of the bladder and inferior vena cava was seen without the involvement of the adjacent structures.
