Thrombosed left circumflex artery aneurysm presenting with myocardial infarction.

Coronary artery aneurysms are life-threatening conditions that are quite uncommon in adults. They are observed in 1.1% to 4.

Cerebral venous thrombosis as a rare cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage: case report and literature review.

We report a 48-year-old woman presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) as the first manifestation of superior sagittal sinus thrombosis. In a literature review of 73 cases, SAH associated with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) was usually seen at the cerebral convexities. SAH was adjacent to thrombosed venous structures; therefore, the most possible explanation seems to be the rupture of cortical veins due to extension of thrombosis.

Adrenal Ganglioneuroma Presenting As Left Renal Mass.

Ganglioneuromas (GNs) are benign tumors resulting from neural crest tissue. GNs contain mature ganglion cells and Schwann cells. GNs most commonly occur in the retroperitoneum and posterior mediastinum.

High-Grade Primary Spindle Cell Sarcoma of the Prostate: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Evaluation of the primary spindle cell sarcoma prostate, which is seen extremely rare, is aimed. Literature search was made through a search in the MedLine database using PubMed and Scopus for the articles published between January 1988 and September 2013. Electronic search was limited to the following keywords: "spindle cell sarcoma", "primary prostate sarcoma".

Truncus arteriosus with persistent left superior vena cava: cardiac computed tomography findings in an unrepaired adult patient.

Truncus arteriosus (TA), a rare complex congenital cardiac disease in which systemic pulmonary and coronary circulations originate from a common vessel, develops due to failure of separation of the common trunk during embryonic life. In this case report, we discuss a 24-year-old patient with TA in whom a computed tomography angiography was performed. To the best of our knowledge, no case has been reported so far where an adult had combined left superior vena cava and pulmonary vein anomaly.

Isolated tuberculous tenosynovitis of the anterior tibial and extensor digitorum longus tendons.

Musculoskeletal system is involved in 1-5% of extrapulmonary cases of tuberculosis. Tuberculous tenosynovitis is a rare form of musculoskeletal tuberculosis. Tuberculosis of the tendon sheath in the hand has been seen in a few cases.

Advanced MR imaging techniques in the evaluation of nonenhancing gliomas: perfusion-weighted imaging compared with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and tumor grade.

A significant number of nonenhancing (NE) gliomas are reported to be malignant. The purpose of this study was to compare the value of advanced MR imaging techniques, including T2*-dynamic susceptibility contrast PWI (DSC-PWI) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((1)HMRS) in the evaluation of NE gliomas. Twenty patients with NE gliomas underwent MRI including DSC-PWI and (1)HMRS.

Diffusion-weighted imaging in the evaluation of hormonal cyclic changes in abdominal wall endometriomas.

Aim: To investigate the utility of diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of abdominal wall endometrioma (AWE) and to compare the ADC (apparent diffusion coefficient) values of AWE with those of the uterine endometrium during two different phases of the menstrual cycle.

Materials And Methods: A total of 22 women aged between 27 and 42 years (mean 32.8 years) and who had regular menstrual cycles were included in the study.

Diagnosis of a huge right atrial thrombus during coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Patient: Male, 73 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Coronary artery thrombosis Symptoms: Angina pectoris • short of breath

Medication: - Clinical Procedure: CABG Specialty: Cardiology.

Objective: Management of emergency care.

Background: Intra-operative formation of a thrombus in the right heart is rare and might be unrecognized.

Metastasis to the male breast from squamous cell lung carcinoma.

Metastasis to breast from extra mammarian organs is quite rare with an incidence of 0.5-3%. Malignancies that most commonly metastasize to breast are lymphomas, leukemias, and malignant melanoma.

US-guided retrograde tibial artery puncture for recanalization of complex infrainguinal arterial occlusions.

Purpose: We aimed to describe the technical aspects and outcomes of the retrograde tibial approach and balloon predilation for recanalization of complex infrainguinal arterial occlusions and determine the efficacy of this approach in minimizing failure rates.

Materials And Methods: Between September 2006 and April 2011, antegrade revascularization failed in 22 limbs with complex total occlusions within the infrainguinal arterial territory. For each of these antegrade failure cases in 22 patients, a retrograde tibial puncture had been attempted.
