A 73-year-old man presented with nausea, abdominal discomfort, and distention persisting for the past five days. He had previously been diagnosed with stage III peripheral CD4+ T cell lymphoma and had initiated chemotherapy comprising vincristine two weeks prior to presentation. An evaluation revealed diffuse colon distention and pneumatosis intestinalis without mechanical obstruction, consistent with acute colonic pseudo-obstruction.

Article Synopsis
  • A neonate with a mass in the coccygeal area experienced severe abdominal issues on day 4, including distension and bloody stomach contents, leading to a diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis.
  • Imaging indicated the coccygeal mass was a Type II sacrococcygeal teratoma, which likely caused bowel compression and contributed to the gut's digestive issues.
  • After the mass was surgically removed, the neonate showed no further symptoms, highlighting the need for careful observation in similar cases to catch potential complications early.

  • Acute gastric volvulus is a rare and challenging surgical condition that can lead to serious complications like gastric ischemia and necrosis if not diagnosed early.* -
  • The case involves a 67-year-old woman with symptoms of abdominal distension and retching, where imaging revealed free air in her abdomen but no typical signs of perforation.* -
  • Endoscopic treatment effectively restored normal organ positions, and the presence of free air was linked to potential colonic air cyst rupture, highlighting the importance of considering other causes when diagnosing gastric torsion.*

BACKGROUND Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is difficult to diagnose and has a high mortality rate. We aimed to determine the qualitative and quantitative parameters of computed tomography (CT) that can determine patient prognosis and contribute to early diagnosis in order to reduce mortality. MATERIAL AND METHODS The biphasic CT images of 40 patients, mean age 72.
