Background and Aims: Baveno VII consensus suggests that screening endoscopy can be spared in patients with compensated cirrhosis when spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) by vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) is ≤40 kPa as they have a low probability of high-risk varices (HRV). Conversely, required all porto-sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD). This study aimed to evaluate the performance SSM-VCTE rule out HRV PSVD signs portal hypertension. Approach Results: We retrospectively...
Spontaneous renal haemorrhage is a rare condition with potentially serious complications.We describe 76-year-old woman 3-day history of fever and malaise, no associated trauma. She was admitted to our emergency room signs shock. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan revealed an extensive right kidney haematoma. Despite fast surgical management, the patient died less than 24 h after admission.Spontaneous should be quickly identified due its fatal complications. Early diagnosis leads...
Introduction. Spontaneous renal hemorrhage is a rare condition with potentially serious complications. Case report. We present 76-year old woman 3-day history of fever and malaise, no associated trauma. She was admitted in our emergency room signs shock. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan revealed an extensive right kidney hematoma. Despite quick surgical management, the patient died less than 24h after admission. Conclusion. should be quickly identified due to its fatal An early...
Aims A 73-year-old woman presented with a recent history of fatigue and episodic vomiting in the past 2 months. The physical exam on admission was only notable for palor skin mucosas. Complete blood count (CBC) documented severe anemia (hemoglobin 5.5 g/dL).
Ischaemic anterior thalamic lesions are rare and can present with disturbances of behaviour memory. We describe a patient post-cardiac arrest stroke.A 63-year-old man presented cardiac arrest, was resuscitated after receiving life support, showed no on computed tomography. Three days later, he short-term memory disturbance disorientation, de novo lesion.The nucleus, supplied by the posterior communicating artery, is part Papez circuit has role in modulating An syndrome presents sensory-motor...
Nonmalignant portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a common complication of cirrhosis especially at the stage decompensations. The diagnosis PVT in often incidental and it may be detected during routine semestral abdominal ultrasound with Doppler screening for hepatocellular carcinoma or hospitalization decompensated cirrhosis. After detection on ultrasound, important to evaluate patients cross-sectional imaging determine age thrombus, whether acute chronic, extent degree luminal occlusion vein,...
Aims A 71-year-old female patient with gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) complained of recurrent heartburn despite optimized medical therapy proton pump inhibitors twice a day and sucralfate 1gm 4x/day. Her past history was relevant for surgeries multiple neoplasms: cervical cancer at 29 years age, colon 48 melanomas. She underwent genetic testing but no genes predisposing to were identified.
Aims A 36-year-old obese woman underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. One week after, she developed fever and abdominal pain. Abdominal CT-scan confirmed the suspicion of fistula showed intra-abdominal fluid collections. She urgent laparoscopy.
