The ectopic pelvic kidney is defined as a kidney placed atypically due to abnormal migration from the fetal pelvis during development embryological. Ectopic kidneys can be more exposed to trauma, since they are in a less protected anatomical position. Today, these anomalies are generally noted as fortuitous discoveries during the initial assessment by ultrasound or computed tomography (CT scan). A post-traumatic renal artery pseudoaneurysm rarely occurs after abdominal trauma blunt. Common symptoms include acute hematuria, abdominal pain, a lump pulsatile in the abdomen or flank, or arterial hypertension. We report the case of a patient with post traumatic renal artery pseudoaneurysm on two fortuitously discovered ectopic pelvic kidneys
Plexiform neurofibroma is a rare benign tumor of the peripheral nerves at the expense of perineural connective cells. It is pathognomonic of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1 or Von Recklinghausen disease). MRI is of great help in the diagnosis of this pathology. Anatomopathological confirmation is sometimes necessary, especially in the absence of a context suggestive of NF1. We report the observation of an oung boy with a cervical plexiform neurofibroma revealing a neurofibromatosis Type 1
Emphysematous osteomyelitis (EO) is a rare yet life-threatening condition that must be considered in patients presenting with intraosseous gas on imaging. Anaerobic bacteria or members of the Enterobacteriaceae family are typically implicated in EO. The presence of significant comorbidities, such as malignancy and diabetes mellitus, can increase the risk of developing this condition, and high mortality rates have been reported. Prompt diagnosis and management are critical for improving patient outcomes, and radiologists play a vital role in identifying and interpreting imaging findings suggestive of EO.in this article we report the exceptional case of emphysematous osteomyelitis of the femur in a 12-year-old girl with no prior medical history. Microbiological analysis of the collected samples revealed the presence of Staphylococcus aureus.
Gayet-Wernicke encephalopathy is an acute neurological disorder resulting from thiamine deficiency. Its diagnosis can be challenging due to its varying clinical presentations, which can be atypical or nonspecific. Although chronic alcoholism is a common cause, Gayet-Wernicke encephalopathy can also develop in conditions associated with thiamine deficiency, including undernutrition, prolonged fasting, chronic vomiting, and exclusive artificial feeding. Although rare, the condition is reversible if promptly diagnosed and treated. Here, we present a case of Gayet-Wernicke encephalopathy in a pregnant patient who presented with intractable vomiting, and whose radiological findings were atypical, making the diagnosis more challenging.
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.
