[Inflammations pseudotumors of the lung with spontaneous regression]

Inflammatory pseudotumors of the lung can be confusing in their presentation because they lack specific symptoms clinically and can easily be mistaken for malignancy on imaging studies. Their definite diagnosis requires pathologic analysis of tissue which is usually obtained only after surgical resection of the lesion.We report herein the case of a 65-year-old man who presented with recent onset of cough, shortness of breath and hemoptysis. CT scan of the chest showed several ill-defined suspicious densities in both lungs. CT guided needle core biopsy of one of the nodules showed changes consistent with inflammatory pseudotumor of the lung without any evidence of malignancy. The pul-monary lesions, which had rapidly progressed initial-ly, resolved completely with simple clinical observa-tion.The total regression of the "tumor nodules" in this case, without any treatment, illustrates a very unusual outcome of these pseudotumors

Cure endovasculaire d'une fistule arterio-veineuse vertebro-vertebrale

Vertebral arteriovenous fistulae are relatively rare, with limited experience in most centers. We report our experience in the treatment of a vertebral arteriovenous fistula treated by interventional method. A review of the literature is made and the etiology, presentation and treatment of this unusual lesion are discussed. The endovascular occlusion is now the treatment of choice of vertebral fistulae

rare cause of diplopia: the dural fistula of the cavernous sinus, about a case

Dural fistulas of the cavernous sinus represent a relatively unknown etiology for diplopia. The authors report on a case where combination of MR and transcranial Doppler [especially transocular] helped in diagnostic and therapeutic approach. They propose a new algorithm for the management of diplopia
