Contrast-enhanced sonography greatly enhances visualization of liver and spleen injuries compared with non-contrast-enhanced sonography. Solid organ injuries usually appeared hypoechoic on contrast-enhanced sonography, but often a hyperechoic region surrounding the injury also was identified with liver injuries.
Acute Invasive Fungal Rhinosinusitis (AIFRS) is a life-threatening disease process which primarily affects immunocompromised patients. AIFRS can be complicated by angioinvasion and can cause arterial aneurysms. Arterial aneurysms secondary to AIFRS have been most commonly reported in the literature as occurring in the internal carotid artery, adjacent to the cavernous sinus. The following report details a case of middle cerebral artery aneurysm secondary to AIFRS, which has not been well-reported in the literature.
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.
