ABSTRACT
This paper reports a case with alveolar echinococcosis metastatic to the brain. This case underwent 10-year antiechinococcosis treatment and operations of the liver, right kidney and brain. Following multiple operations and oral administration of albendazole, the case still had recurrence and distant metastasis of hepatic echinococcosis. It is suggested that early prevention, early diagnosis, early regular treatment and surgical radical treatment are critical to the treatment of alveolar echinococcosis.
ABSTRACT
This article reported a case with primary cystic echinococcosis in the left femur.
ABSTRACT
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) accounts for approximately 10% to 15% of stroke patients. The key factor affecting the prognosis of sICH is whether the initial hematoma volume and hematoma enlarge. Current research indicates that sICH is a common disease caused by rupture of small blood vessels with poor prognosis. More than 30% of patients have persistent bleeding after the first onset, indicating that the disease is a dynamic process. This persistent bleeding, also known as hematoma expansion (HE), is an independent predictor of neurological deterioration and poor prognosis. This article reviews the research progress of CT image features and specific imaging findings on CTA in predicting HE in patients with sICH.
