Therapeutic options of caesarean scar pregnancy: Case series and literature reviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We describe our experience with the treatment of 4 caesarean scar pregnancies and provide an overview of current literature. Four women diagnosed with a caesarean scar pregnancy in our hospital between 1996 and 2007 were treated with local or systemic methotrexate and had a steady decline of the serum [beta]-hCG level. The uterus was preserved in all women and 3 of them had an uneventful subsequent pregnancy and delivery. We suggest that transcervical needle aspiration of amniotic fluid followed by intra-amniotic injection of methotrexate should be the treatment of choice, followed by surgical treatment only if methotrexat...

Conservative management of an extensive renal graft subcapsular hematoma arising during living donor nephrectomy. Role of Doppler sonographic posttransplant follow-upEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report a case of subcapsular hematoma (SH) of a kidney graft arising during minimal-incision living-donor nephrectomy. SH covered at least two-thirds of the cortical surface. Capsulotomy was not done because it was deemed too risky. In the immediate postoperative period, a rapid deterioration of graft function was observed associated with Doppler sonographic evidence of graft compression. However, in the following days, spontaneous resolution of SH and progressive improvement of Doppler findings was observed, which preceded full recovery of graft function. Conservative management seemed a valid approach of this complica...

Congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm diagnosed by fetal echocardiographyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A newborn infant was evaluated because of a large cystic mass adjacent to the left atrium on prenatal ultrasound. The diagnosis was an aneurysm of the left atrial appendage. Most cases of this rare lesion are recognized between the 2nd and 4th decades of life. The present case, however, was detected on fetal echocardiography. The patient showed significant mitral regurgitation caused by the compression of the left atrioventricular groove. Simple aneurysmectomy without mitral valvuloplasty was sufficient to relieve significant mitral regurgitation in this case. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2010 (Source...

Can the smallest depth of ascitic fluid on sonograms predict the amount of drainable fluid?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
To investigate the correlation between the 'smallest fluid depth' (SFD) measured on sonography (US) at the 'paracentesis pocket' with the amount of fluid drained in patients referred for US-guided large-volume paracentesis.US examinations performed to guide 60 paracenteses in 29 patients with large-volume ascites were reviewed and the SFD measured at the site of the paracentesis. The SFD was measured from the most superficial bowel loop to the abdominal wall. The SFD measurements were compared with the drained fluid volume (DFV) measurements.The average DFV per paracentesis was 5.2 L with an average SFD measurement of 5.4 ...

Ruptured intramuscular ganglion cyst in the gastrocnemius medialis muscle: Sonographic appearanceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report the case of a 55-year-old woman who presented with a severe pain and a mass in the proximal portion of the medial calf. On sonography, the lesion appeared as a poorly defined hypoechoic lesion with interspersed muscle bundles. A total excision of the lesion was performed. On microscopic examination, the specimen demonstrated cystic lesions surrounded by fibrous walls within the muscle bundles. A ruptured intramuscular ganglion cyst diagnosis was made based on the histopathologic findings. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity and ductus venosus velocity in the investigation of nonimmune hydropsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This study was performed to investigate the cause of nonimmune hydrops fetalis by measuring the peak systolic velocity (PSV) in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) and velocity waveforms of the ductus venosus (DV) with Doppler.This cross-sectional study was done on 19 pregnancies referred to three university teaching hospitals for further investigation of nonimmune hydrops fetalis in 2007 and 2008. The MCA-PSV and DV velocity waveforms were recorded in all fetuses. Anemia was investigated in cases with MCA-PSV values greater than 1.50 MoM (multiple of the median). Cardiovascular causes and chromosomal abnormalities were inves...

Killian-Jamieson diverticulum mimicking a suspicious thyroid nodule: Sonographic diagnosisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We present a case of Killian-Jamieson diverticulum that mimicked a thyroid nodule on sonography (US), and for which a US-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) was performed. The possibility of Killian-Jamieson diverticulum should be considered when a thyroid nodule is seen adjacent to the esophagus even without US change during/after swallowing. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Safety and diagnostic accuracy of percutaneous ultrasound-guided biopsy of the spleen: A multicenter studyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
To analyze the safety and accuracy of ultrasound-guided (USG) percutaneous needle biopsy of the spleen.Sixty-two USG needle biopsies performed in 52 patients were retrospectively analyzed: there were 53 biopsies of local lesions and 9 biopsies of diffuse lesions. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) was performed in 37 cases and core-needle biopsy (CNB) in 25 cases. The complications and diagnostic accuracy of the 2 types of biopsy were compared.Two patients (3.8%) had postprocedural hemorrhage after CNB; one was minor, and the other severe, requiring splenectomy. No bleeding occurred with FNA. The diagnostic accuracy was similar ...

Prenatal findings of concomitant duodenal and esophageal atresia without tracheoesophageal fistula (Gross type A)Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We describe prenatal findings of one such case. Sonographic examination of a 26-week fetus showed a double cystic structure and an intrathoracic cyst. MRI and ultrasound at 26 weeks and 2 days' gestation showed shrinkage of the stomach and duodenum, massive ascites, and the presence of dilated pouch-like structure in the thoracic inlet level, consistent with an upper pouch sign. Polyhydramnios was detected at 30 weeks' gestation. Prenatal diagnosis was concomitant DA and an intrathoracic anomaly such as congenital hiatal hernia, diaphragmatic hernia, esophageal duplication or EA. A boy was delivered at 38 weeks' gestation....
