Intracavitary cardiac metastasis is rare. Apart from causing intracardiac obstruction, this type of metastasis can present as pulmonary emboli. It is important to suspect this diagnosis in an oncology patient with recurrent pulmonary emboli, particularly in the setting of a negative venous Doppler ultrasound of the lower limbs and pelvis. Early recognition may help in improving the prognosis. We present a case of intracavitary cardiac metastasis arising from a squamous carcinoma of the cervix, in a patient with recurrent pulmonary tumour emboli.

Intramural duodenal haematoma is an uncommon lesion, usually a complication of blunt abdominal trauma in children and young adults. We present a case of intramural duodenal haematoma following endoscopic biopsy, which caused partial duodenal obstruction and pancreatitis and resolved with conservative management.

We present here a case of paraneoplastic myelopathy with significant cord abnormality documented on MRI. Following treatment of the patient's underlying haematological malignancy, there was marked improvement both symptomatically and on follow-up MR imaging. This has rarely been described in the literature in relation to lymphoma or with imaging correlation.

A case is discussed of a brain abscess complicating an intracerebral haemorrhage occurring in a cavernous haemangioma. A young child presented with focal seizures as a result of a large intracerebral haemorrhage, occurring in a cavernous haemangioma. The only clue to the underlying vascular malformation was the presence of an associated developmental venous anomaly. The case was complicated by the development of a brain abscess at the site of the intracranial haematoma. The CT and MRI findings are discussed.
