Summary: Background: Authors are presenting a case of papillomatosis of the common bile duct, causing obstructive jaundice, which is a rare diagnosis. Methods: On the base of the preoperative examinations and the operative finding an early malignant tumor of the common bile duct was suspected, and only the postoperative pathohistology examination verified the proper diagnosis. Results: The patient treated with pancreatoduodenectomy is healthy two years after the operation without any complaints. Conclusions: The authors emphasize that the radical operation is mandatory in the case of this benign disease as it has an inclination for recurrence or malignant transformation.
Esetismertetés: A szerzők egy 34 éves nőbeteg évek óta fennálló postprandialis hasi panaszai miatt elvégzett kivizsgálá-sát és műtéti kezelését mutatják be. Az első vizsgálatok során laktózintolerancia és hiatushernia igazolódott, azonban a konzervatív therapia eredménytelennek bizonyult. CT-angiographia (CTA) és digitalis subtractiós angiographia (DSA) a truncus coeliacus nagyfokú szűkületét igazolta. A percutan transluminalis angioplastica (PTA) eredménytelen volt. A vizsgálatok megismétlése külső compressiót, ligamentum arcuatum medianum szindrómát (MALS) igazolt. Laparoscopos technikával a ligamentum arcuatum medianum átvágását végezték el. A postoperativ CTA a szűkület jelentős mér-séklődését mutatta, a beteg panaszai megszűntek. Megbeszélés: A szerzők hangsúlyozzák, hogy krónikus hasi panaszok esetén hasi duplex ultrahangvizsgálat során végzett áramlásméréssel 100%-os specifi citással és 83%-os szenzitivitással diagnosztizálható a betegség. A duplex ultrahang olcsóbb vizsgálati módszer, mint az esetünkben is elvégzett CTA-és DSA-vizsgálatok, amelyekre sokszor csak a panaszok hosszas fennállását követően kerül sor. Postprandialis hasi fájda-lom esetén első vonalbeli vizsgálatként végzett hasi ultrahang segítségével korai diagnózishoz juthatunk. Esetükkel a szerzők felhívják a fi gyelmet a kórképre, valamint arra, hogy külső leszorítás esetén a ligamentum arcuatum medianum laparoscopos átvágása relatív kis megterheléssel járó hatékony módszer a nyitott műtéti megoldásokhoz képest. Kulcsszavak: truncus coeliacus compressiós szindróma, angiographia, duplex ultrahangCase report: The authors report a case of a 34-year-old woman who had postprandial abdominal pain for years. During the course of her examination lactose intolerance and hiatus hernia was diagnosed. After ineffective conservative treatment CT angiography (CTA) and digital substraction angiography (DSA) was performed and showed signifi cant celiac artery stenosis. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) was unsuccessful as extravasal mechanical compression was present, therefore, laparoscopic decompression and surgical division of MAL fi bres were carried out. The postoperative period was characterized by a complete relief of previous symptoms and repeated CTA showed normal blood fl ow. Discussion: The authors emphasize the importance of the measurement of peak velocity of celiac trunk with Colour Duplex abdominal ultrasonography, the examination has 100% sensitivity and 83% specifi city. The Duplex ultrasonography is less expensive than the "gold standard" diagnostic methods like CT and DS angiography, and can lead us to early diagnosis. Laparoscopic surgery is safe and low expense method for celiac artery decompression, however, sometimes it is diffi cult to reveal the exact reason and thus setting up the proper operation plan.
Irregular vascular dilatation in the antrum or the cardia of the stomach can be the cause of severe gastrointestinal bleeding. The first term for it - in the beginning of the 50's of the previous century - was GAVE (Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia) since at that time no similar phenomenon had been registered before. A quarter of a century later, after publishing a few cases, a witty internist described it as "watermelon stomach" because the macroscopic picture is similarly looking as the aforesaid fruit's appearing. This rare condition occured in one of our patient with many comorbid diseases.
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.
