The objective of this pictorial essay is to present the different CT findings encountered in patients with aorto-enteric fistulas (AEFs). An AEF is a rare and sometimes disastrous occurrence, responsible for intermittent or massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage and hematemesis. CT provides fast and effective evaluation in hemodynamically stable patients suspected of having an AEF.
Multifocal skeletal tuberculosis comprises lesions occurring at 2 or more locations of the skeleton. We present an atypical case of multifocal skeletal tuberculosis coexisting with Rhodotorula minuta infection in a non-immunocompromized host. The advantages of computed tomography-guided biopsy in establishing the diagnosis and thus influencing treatment are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
