ABSTRACT
Myocardial bridging is defined as segmental engulfment of a major epicardial coronary artery by myocardial fibers, causing a systolic narrowing or milking effect of the coronary arterial segment. During systole, the intramuscular part of coronary artery is compressed by contraction of overbridging ventricular muscle, therefore blood flow distal to the lesion is impaired and angina pectoris or acute myocardial infarction may occur. We experienced a case of Non-Q myocardial infarction in a 42 years-old female patient with myocardial bridge at the proximal and middle part of left anterior descending coronary artery.

It has been thought for many years that gastric adenocarcinoma almost never crosses the pylorus. Although this theory was generally accepted, several studies have refuted it. We report three cases of gastric adenocarcinoma direct spreading into the duodenum that was diagnosed by endoscopic duodenal biopsy and review the literature.

While anomalies of the pancreaticobiliary system are not uncommon, drainage of the common bile duct into the bulb of the duodenum has rarely been reported. The awareness of ectopic drainage of the CBD is stressed to prevent surgical damage and improve medical management in this area. We reported one case of anomalous drainage of the CBD and pancreatic duct associated with nonvisible gallbladder or agenesis of gallbladder and cystic duct diagnosed by ERCP, ultrasonography and upper abdominal CT.
