Pulmonary pseudocysts (PPC) classically relate to chest trauma. It is a rare entity in adults, with multiple differential diagnosis. PPC most often evolve favorably. The clinical diagnosis is difficult to assess due to the poor and non specific clinical data. Chest radiographs are usually unsufficient for the diagnosis and the imaging modality of choice is computed tomography (CT). CT patterns of PPC relate to single or numerous cavities surrounded by air space consolidations. The physiopathological mechanisms of PPC remains uncertain. The histological study of this reported case affords some worth data to highlight the pathogenesis of this acquired abnormality.

Prenatal diagnosis of midgut volvulus by fetal MRI: a retrospective study.
Front Pediatr
December 2024
Department of Medical Imaging, Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, China.
Background: Fetal midgut volvulus is a rare disease, with a high risk of potentially life-threatening fetal complications.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the imaging findings of fetal midgut volvulus diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and explore its value in non-invasive prenatal diagnosis.
Methods: A retrospective collection of data from 156 fetuses suspected of intestinal obstruction by ultrasound examination in our hospital was conducted.
Pancreaticopleural fistula causing recurrent bilateral pleural effusions: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
December 2024
Department of Gastroenterology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, Jiangxi, China.
Rationale: Pancreaticopleural fistula (PPF) is an infrequent etiology of pleural effusion, characterized by nonspecific thoracic symptoms, which often leads to misdiagnosis and subsequent severe complications. Consequently, early diagnosis is crucial for effective management and the prevention of adverse outcomes. This report presents a rare case of PPF causing bilateral pleural effusions, aiming to enhance clinical recognition of this condition.

Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MGS) is a rare disease with a fatal, autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. This article mentions the neonatal MGS case followed by intestinal atresia and meconium pseudocyst clinic. Bile-containing-fluid was aspirated from the fetus, which was found to have polyhydramnios, gastric dilatation, lung hypoplasia, and cystic formation with a diameter of 68*62mm in the abdomen at 32 weeks of gestation in the intrauterine period.

Background: Traumatic pulmonary pseudocyst is a rare "cystlike" lung lesion that typically develops following blunt chest trauma. It differs from lung cancer associated with cystic airspaces in terms of pathogenic mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and radiological features. Furthermore, there are few reports of the diagnostic bias between traumatic pulmonary pseudocyst and lung cancer associated with cystic airspaces.
