• Article: Celiacomesenteric trunk: a short report.

  ABSTRACT: The authors describe the case of a 44-year-old male with chronic liver disease in whom celiacomesenteric trunk (CMT) was incidentally detected on routine multidetector row computed tomography of abdomen. The CMT (measuring approximately in diameter 12.3 mm) divided into celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) (measuring approximately 7.5 and 7.2 mm, respectively). The celiac trunk further divided into common hepatic, left gastric, and right inferior phrenic and splenic arteries. The common hepatic artery gave off gastroduodenal arteries before continuing as hepatic artery proper. The SMA was seen running down, deep to the neck of the pancreas to supply the midgut. The incidence and clinical implications of this vascular variation are discussed with a review of the relevant literature.

  ABSTRACT: Anomalous preduodenal portal vein is a rare abdominal vascular variant; even rarer is the prepancreatic postduodenal position. We report an anomalous portal vein positioned in between duodenum and pancreatic head detected on contrast enhanced computed tomography. Awareness and accurate radiological interpretation of this unique and rare vascular pattern can prevent inadvertent injury during surgical and radiological interventions.

  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: A case of surgically created splenorenal shunt complicated with shunt myelopathy was successfully managed by placement of a stent graft within the splenic vein to close the portosystemic shunt and alleviate myelopathy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a case of shunt myelopathy in a patient with noncirrhotic portal fibrosis without cirrhosis treated by a novel technique wherein a transjugular intrahepatic route was adopted to deploy the stent graft.

• Article: Efficacy of balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration of large spontaneous lienorenal shunt in patients with severe recurrent hepatic encephalopathy with foam sclerotherapy: initial experience.

  ABSTRACT: Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) is a widely accepted treatment for gastric varices, but data are limited in regard to its role in the management of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). This study evaluated the efficacy of BRTO with foam sclerotherapy in the management of HE arising as a result of spontaneous large portosystemic shunts. Eight sessions of BRTO with sodium tetradecyl sulfate foam were performed in seven patients with cirrhosis complicated by HE. All patients had portosystemic communication (ie, gastro-/lienorenal shunt) on preprocedure computed tomography. Clinical and laboratory parameters including arterial ammonia level were evaluated in all patients before and after the procedure. Technical success rates were 86% (six of seven) for the first BRTO session and 100% (one of one) for the second. Follow-up imaging revealed complete obliteration of the varices in five of seven patients (71%) and partial obliteration in the remaining two. Immediate clinical improvement of HE was observed in six of seven patients (86%), with postprocedural decrease in arterial ammonia levels; one patient showed delayed improvement. Procedure-related complications (eg, abnormal liver function test results, acute kidney injury with leukocytosis) were encountered in two patients. All patients showed clinical and symptomatic improvement at the time of discharge and during a follow-up of 4 months (with visits at 1 mo and 3 mo later). Initial experience suggests that BRTO is an effective procedure in the management of HE arising as a result of large portosystemic shunts.

• Article: Eosinophilic abscesses: a new facet of hepatic visceral larva migrans.

  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Hepatic visceral larva migrans (VLM) refers to a condition characterized by granulomatous liver lesions containing eosinophils and inflammatory cells associated with migration of second-stage larvae of certain nematodes such as toxocara canis. The typical imaging findings described in the literature include small, ill-defined, oval or elongated, low-attenuating nodules with fuzzy margins, non-spherical shape, and absent or insignificant rim enhancement on contrast-enhanced CT scan. The present series in contrast depicts a new imaging manifestation of hepatic VLM presenting as confluent and clustered complex cystic liver lesions. Pre-treatment imaging studies including contrast-enhanced CT/MRI of three patients are presented. One of the patients underwent liver resection while post-treatment follow-up scan at 6 months in the remaining two displayed regression of the lesions with antihelminthic treatment.

  ABSTRACT: The emergence of amoebiasis is of great public health concern since it has the potential to become endemic in developed nations essentially due to increased travel to endemic areas, emigration of people from affected nations and increase in the HIV-AIDS population. Fulminant necrotizing amoebic colitis is a rare and relatively less-known form of amoebiasis typically associated with very high morbidity and mortality, as is presented in the current case.

  ABSTRACT: Filariasis is an endemic infection seen in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, presenting with lymphatic dysfunction in the form of lymphocele, hydrocele, chyluria, or groin lymphadenovarix. We report a rare presentation of filariasis as an intra-abdominal cystic mass.
