Primer reporte nacional de técnica de puestow modificada para el tratamiento de la pancreatitis aguda recidivante en pediatría / First national report of modified puestow technique for the treatment of recurrent acute pancreatitis in pediatrics / Primeiro relatório nacional de técnica puestow modificada para o tratamento de pancreatite aguda recorrente em pediatria

Se comunica el primer reporte nacional del tratamiento de pancreatitis aguda recidivante mediante derivación Wirsung-yeyunal en pediatría. Se trata de un paciente con múltiples ingresos hospitalarios por episodios de pancreatitis, con complicaciones evolutivas de pseudoquistes pancreáticos, estenosis y litiasis del conducto de Wirsung. Se realiza derivación Wirsung-yeyunal por vía convencional con buena evolución posterior.

The first national report of the treatment of recurrent acute pancreatitis by means of Wirsung-jejunal diversion in pediatrics is communicated. This is a patient with multiple hospital admissions for episodes of pancreatitis, with evolutionary complications of pancreatic pseudocysts, stenosis, and Wirsung duct lithiasis. Wirsung-jejunal bypass was performed by conventional route with good subsequent evolution.

Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 40 años portadora de litiasis biliar sintomática que se operó de coordinación por abordaje laparoscópico

Testicular microlithiasis: report of two cases and overview

Testicular microlithiasis is a rare asymptomatic disease of the testis. It is associated with testicular tumors and a wide variety of other pathologies. The sonographic image which is the main tool for diagnosis is characteristic. Because of its high association with malignant testicular tumors incidentally discovered cases of testicular microlithiasis should be followed up

Enterolithiasis: An uncommon finding in abdominal tuberculosis.

Enterolithiasis, the formation of intestinal calculi due to stasis, is known to occur with abdominal tuberculosis. It has uncommonly been reported from India and only rarely in older children.

Rhinolith.

Rhinoliths are rare entities encountered in clinical practice. They are calcified masses found within the nasal cavity. Which lesions can be encountered incidentally upon a routine dental radiograph. This article reports a case of such an incidental finding of rhinolith on a dental radiograph.

stranded stone: relationship between acute appendicitis and appendicolith

To examine the relationship between acute appendicitis and the presence of an appendicolith in abdominal CT scans of patients attending emergency services. Abdominal CT scan reports were retrospectively reviewed for 267 patients through the PACS database. A 16-slices MDCT GE Light Speed scanner [Milwaukee WI] was used with a scanning protocol of 5 mm axial collimation and a pitch of 1.0, along with oral contrast material [Gastrografin 3.7% diatrizoate meglumine] and 140 mL of intravenous [IV] nonionic contrast material [Omnipaque]. Particular attention was given to the study protocol, patients' age, and gender. We used MS-EXCEL and SPSS version 12.0 to perform chi-square and Fisher's exact tests. Bookends and Papers, components in Mac OS X software, were used for literature reviews and the organization of results. Two hundred and sixty-seven abdominal CT scan reports were examined along side their respective images on a GE Centricity workstation. Thirty-four [12.7%] were labeled as acute appendicitis cases based on the CT findings and the rest were assigned other diagnoses. Twenty-six of the 267 CT scan reports were plain studies and 241 were contrast-enhanced scans. Less than half of the patients [123, 46.1%] were males and 144 [53.9%] were females. Thirteen males [48.1%] and 14 [51.9%] females were found to have an appendicolith. Only 3% in the /= 71 years' age groups. We conclude that the presence of an appendicolith i] has no particular predilection for gender or age, and ii] is not associated with a diagnosis of appendicitis

Litotricia por ondas de choque extracorpóreas como tratamiento de los cálculos del conducto pancreático principal / Extracorporeal shock- wave lithotripsy as a treatment of the calculi of the main pancreatic duct

Las ondas de choque extracorpóreas se utilizan desde hace varios años con buenos resultados en la fragmentación de cálculos vesiculares y de las vías biliares en pacientes seleccionados. Cuando los cálculos del conducto pancreático principal no pueden extraerse endoscópicamente está indicada esta variante no quirúrgica. Se presentan 4 pacientes del sexo masculino, entre 41 y 55 años de edad, con antecedentes de alcoholismo y el diagnóstico de pancreatitis crónica con litiasis en el conducto principal, 3 de ellos con más de 1 cálculo, que recibieron ondas de choque generadas por el principio electromagnético. Todos fragmentaron. El paciente con cálculo único eliminó los fragmentos espontáneamente, mientras que en los 3 restantes fue necesario asociar la endoscopia para obtener la limpieza total de Wirsung . Durante el seguimiento de más de 5 años se constató la regresión de los síntomas, fundamentalmente del dolor, sin recidivas(AU)

The extracorporeal shock waves have been used for several years with good results in the fragmentation of calculi of the gallbladder and of the biliary tract in selected patients. When the calculi of the main pancreatic duct cannot be endoscopically removed, this non-surgical variant is indicated. 4 male patients aged 41-55 with alcoholism history and the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis with lithiasis in the main duct are presented. 3 of them with more than a calculus received shock waves generated by electromagnetic principle. All the calculi were fragmented. The patient with only one calculus eliminated the fragments spontaneously, whereas in the other 3 it was necessary to associate endoscopy to obtain Wirsung's total cleaning. During the follow-up of more than 5 years it was proved the regression of the symptoms, mainly pain, without relapses(AU)
