ABSTRACT
A 91-year-old woman visited the emergency department with dyspnea and globus sensation after a minor head injury. A CT-scan of the spine showed a retropharyngeal swelling. MRI and fiberscopy revealed that the swelling was concordant with a retropharyngeal hematoma. The patient was admitted for observation and she was discharged in good clinical condition the day after.

ABSTRACT
A 83-year-old male was admitted to the Emergency Department with acute haematochezia and abdominal pain. At digital rectal examination multiple soft distensions were palpable. Sigmoidoscopy revealed ischaemia of the rectum with severe gangrene. The patient was discharged after fluid resuscitation. Follow-up sigmoidoscopy 4 weeks later showed a fully recovered rectum.
