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.

We report two cases of successful percutaneous therapy of epithelial splenic cysts. A 19-year-old woman and a 48-year-old man underwent drainage of their epithelial cysts with subsequent instillation of alcohol into the cavities under computed tomographic guidance.
