ABSTRACT
We report a 29-year-old woman with bilateral deep vein thrombosis. CT-scan was performed and an agenesia of inferior vena cava was found. With regard to the case report, we provide a brief review of the embryogenesis of the inferior vena cava, and of anomalies in the genesis of this vessel. In young patients with idiopathic deep venous thrombosis the existence of an abnormality in the inferior vena cava should be considered

We report the case of a 39-year-old male patient affected by type B Niemann-Pick disease, in whom pulmonary involvement became evident 15 years after the initial diagnosis. Pulmonary involvement was discovered incidentally during the evaluation of a dry cough and exertional dyspnoea which occurred in the context of an acute febrile, self-limiting illness. In this case, the pulmonary involvement is clinically mild, with minimal alteration of the diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DL(CO)), despite moderate fibrosis and widespread infiltration of both alveoli and interstitium by sea blue histiocytes.

Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 39 años con antecedentes personales de pustulosis palmoplantar de varios años de evolución y dolores ocasionales en la pared anterior del tórax, columna lumbar y ambas sacroilíacas. Acude por dolor esternoclavicular y en los primeros arcos costales izquierdos con tumefacción, palpación dolorosa y febrícula. Se diagnostica como síndrome de SAPHO basándonos en los hallazgos clínicos, radiológicos (TC), gammagráficos y manifestaciones cutáneas. La gammagrafía ósea es una prueba diagnóstica sensible y precoz para este síndrome que proporciona la ventaja de obtener imagen del cuerpo completo. (AU)

We present the case of a 39 year old woman with a several year long history of palmoplantar pustulosis and occasional pain in the anterior wall of the thorax, lumbar spine and both sacroiliac joints. As a consequence of low grade fever, severe sternoclavicular pain and discomfort and swelling in the first left rib arches, the patient was admitted to hospital. Based on the clinical, radiologic, scintigraphic and cutaneous findings, the SAPHO syndrome was diagnosed. Bone scintigraphy is an accurate and early diagnostic test for this syndrome which also provides the advantage of being able to obtain a whole body scan.
