Background:
Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that can have various causes. Symptoms of this disorder include headache, reduced visual acuity, focal neurological symptoms, seizures, and cranial nerve deficits, depending on the structures involved. Although rare, sensory and motor trigeminal neuropathy c...
In 2019, a large outbreak of a novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) occurred in China. The purpose of this study is to quantitatively analyze the evolution of chest computed tomography (CT) imaging features in COVID-19. Nine patients with positive real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction results were included in this study. Totally...
A 43-year-old man presented with exertional dyspnea and chest tightness for two months. He received coronary computed tomography angiography and the result revealed a single coronary artery, a rare congenital coronary artery anomaly.
Purpose and background:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death. However, the prevalence of CVD in young adults (<40 years of age) has not been well documented. We conducted this study to determine the proportion of CVD in both symptomatic and asymptomatic young adults.
Materials and methods:
Coronary CT angiography im...
Objective:
Because of the improvements in cardiac transplantation technology, pharmacology, and diagnostic imaging, the survival rate of patients who have undergone heterotopic heart transplantation has significantly increased, which makes postoperative evaluation of these patients increasingly important. Monitoring patients who have undergone het...
Pediatric renal cell carcinoma (RCC) associated with ASPL-TFE3 gene fusion resulting from balanced translocation, t(X;17)(p11.2;q25), is a distinctive tumor entity. It is uncommon, and most reported cases have exclusively come from Western societies. We report a case of t(X;17)(p11.2;q25) RCC in a 6-year-old Taiwanese boy. The patient presented wit...
Perforation is a serious complication of peptic ulcer disease occurring in 5% of such patients. Occasionally, the perforation may be sealed off by the omentum or the adjacent organs. Sealed perforated ulcer with pseudotumor formation is very rarely encountered. Here we present a case of gastric pseudotumor induced by perforation of a peptic ulcer....
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is an extremely rare disease. It most commonly involves the lung; however, benign angiomyolipoma of the kidney may be present. Diffuse type LAM is even rarer. This report presents a case of lymphangi- oleiomyomatosis in bilateral lungs, kidneys, liver, retrocrural space and retroperitoneal space without stigmata of tu...
Ruptured pseudoaneurysm with gastrointestinal bleeding is a rare but frequently fatal complication in patients with pancreatitis. Arteriographic embolization of visceral artery pseudoaneurysms is a safe and highly effective technique for the identification and treatment of hemorrhage even in critically ill patients. We report a case of massive hema...
