Intraosseous fat necrosis and infarction associated with pancreatitis.

Clin Nucl Med

Department of Radiology, University of Tennessee, Memphis.

Published: October 1993

A case of trauma-induced pancreatitis with subsequent intraosseous fat necrosis and infarction is presented. The young patient demonstrated multiple cortical lytic lesions of the lower extremities and bilateral sterile joint effusions. Several radiographic modalities were employed in the workup of his disease. Related findings and pathophysiologic considerations are reviewed.

Background: Malignant dysgerminomas are infrequently reported ovarian neoplasms in animals, especially in exotic pets (non-traditional companion animals [NTCAs]). In the few published case reports on reptilian species, examples are primarily postmortem without antemortem (clinical) assessment.

Patient Presentation: An adult, 13-year-old, spayed female inland bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps) presented with lethargy, a right-sided head tilt, unilateral exophthalmos and ventrotemporal strabismus on the right eye.

Background: A major catastrophic adverse event after total joint arthroplasty surgery (TJA) is the periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). In the recent years, regional antibiotic prophylaxis has gained momentum as a novel infection control strategy in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), with different purported benefits over systemic administration. The current article was planned to comprehensively review the available evidence in literature; as well as compare the safety and effectiveness of intraosseous (IO) antibiotic prophylaxis with systemic prophylaxis in patients undergoing TJA.

Article Synopsis
  • * An MRI showed specific signal characteristics in the lesion, initially suggesting it was an aneurysmal bone cyst.
  • * A follow-up MRI conducted 3 years later indicated that the lesion had changed to predominantly contain fat, highlighting the transformation of an intraosseous lipoma over time.

Article Synopsis
  • The study assessed the effectiveness of conservative treatments for atraumatic medial sesamoid pain (MSP) in 27 patients involved in sports, focusing on treatment outcomes and underlying pathologies.
  • Nearly half (48.1%) of the patients reported pain relief after treatment, but factors like age, body weight, and the type of sport influenced their recovery outcomes.
  • MRI revealed that 42.8% of patients had no notable abnormalities, with common issues identified being soft tissue signal changes and intraosseous signal changes in the medial sesamoid bone.*

Introduction: Intraosseous (IO) administration of medication, fluids and blood products is accepted practice for critically injured patients in whom intravenous access is not immediately available. However, there are concerns that high intramedullary pressures resulting from IO infusion may cause bone marrow intravasation and subsequent fat embolisation. The aim of this systematic review is to synthesise the existing evidence describing fat intravasation, fat embolism and fat embolism syndrome (FES) following IO infusion.
