ABSTRACT

Objectifs : rechercher les étiologies des lombalgies à la tomodensitométrie.Matériels et méthode : il s'agissait d'une étude transversale, prospective sur une période de 04 mois (07 Avril au 07 Aout 2018) incluant 67 patients (43 hommes et 24 femmes). L'âge moyen était de 49,58 ans. Les paramètres étudiés étaient les anomalies osseuses, discales et des parties molles non discales, analysées avec les logiciels SPSS 22.0 et CS-ENTRY 7.0 avec une p-value significative de 0,02.Résultats : les examens TDM étaient anormaux dans 97% des cas. on notait une étroitesse canalaire était notée chez 26,9% des patients, une arthrose corporéale chez 43,3%, une arthrose des articulaires postérieures chez 44,8% et une lyse isthmique chez 4,5% des patients. Une anomalie discale était trouvée chez 94% des patients, dominée par la hernie discale (61,9%) suivie du vide discal (23,8%) et du bombement global (14,3%). Ces anomalies discales siégeaient à l'étage L4-L5 dans 41,2 % et un conflit disco-radiculaire était noté chez 46 patients soit 69,7 %, le siège de ce conflit était canalaire dans 73,9%. Une hypertrophie des ligaments jaunes et une raréfaction de la graisse épidurale étaient notées chez 7 patients soit 10,4% des cas.Conclusion : la tomodensitométrie avait permis de diagnostiquer les différentes pathologies responsables de lombalgie chez 97% des patients, dominées par les anomalies discales

ABSTRACT

Wandering or migrating spleen is a rare anomaly which is usually described in children. Complications, which include pedicle torsion, are common and can be life-threatening. We report the case of a 17 year-old patient with a long past medical history of epigastric pain suffering from wandering spleen with chronic torsion of the pedicle. The clinical picture was marked by spontaneously painful epigastric mass, evolved over the past 48 hours. Abdominal ultrasound objectified heterogeneous hypertrophied ectopic spleen in epigastric position and a subcapsular hematoma. Doppler showed a torsion of splenic pedicle which was untwisted 2 turns and a small blood stream on the splenic artery. Abdominal CT scan with contrast injection showed a lack of parenchymal enhancement of large epigastric ectopic spleen and a subcapsular hematoma. The diagnosis of wandering spleen with chronic torsion of the pedicle complicated by necrosis and subcapsular hematoma was confirmed. The patient underwent splenectomy. The postoperative course was uneventful. We here discuss the contribution of ultrasound and CT scan in the diagnosis of wandering spleen with chronic torsion of the pedicle.

ABSTRACT

We report the case of a 7-year old patient presenting for acute paroxysmal abdominal pain at the level of epigastrium associated with vomiting without involving blockage of materials and gas. Clinical examination and laboratory tests were unremarkable. Abdominal ultrasound was requested as a first line investigationa and showed a right echogenic homogeneous flank and iliac fossa mass with regular contours without vascular Doppler signal and associated with "whirl sign" of mesenteric vessels. On CT scan this mass was seen as a well-defined lipoma formation, exerting a mass effect on the cecum, which was in direct contact with mesenteric volvulus. Arrangement of the mesenteric vessels at their origin was normal. The diagnosis of mesenteric volvulus associated with lipoma was retained. Surgical management and histological analysis of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis. This clinical case aims to highlight the contribution of ultrasound and CT scan in the diagnosis of midgut volvulus.
