Sixty-four-slice MDCT is highly accurate in diagnosing the point of transition of small bowel obstruction with an accuracy of 92%. It can be used as a localizing tool before surgery for small bowel obstruction.

Aim: To analyse the phytochemical components using GC-MS technique and evaluate the antiplasmodial activity of crude extract and partitioned fractions of Vernonia colorata leaf. Study Design: Qualitative, gravimetric and Chromatographic methods of analysis were adopted for phytochemical analysis, while experimental design (In vivo) was used for antiplasmodial study.

These cases provide a unique insight into an additional feature of HCC and usefulness of recognizing the ITPAs on imaging studies. Although de novo ITPAs in HCC are uncommon, occurring with an incidence rate of 0.24%, their presence in hypervascular hepatic lesion may point towards the diagnosis of HCC. Additionally, they should be accounted for in management planning as they can lead to complications of rupture and hemorrhage.
