ABSTRACT
Isolated gallbladder rupture are rare injuries. We present a case of gallbladder traumatic rupture in a 47-year-old patient involved in a motor vehicle collision, that presented abdominal pain with maximal intensity in the right upper quadrant.CT is the imaging technique of choice to diagnosis this entity, however the final diagnosis of gallbladder rupture is confirmed with laparoscopy. Cholecystectomy is the definitive treatment.

Osteitis condensans ilii (OCI) is a noninflammatory condition of no clear etiology, cause of axial low back pain. It is characterized by sclerotic bone lesions at the iliac region of the sacroiliac joints. The diagnosis is based on radiological findings and the exclusion of other conditions associated with back pain. We present a case of bilateral OCI in a young woman with bone sclerosis at sacroiliac joints diagnosed with the use of Dual Energy CT.

A 62-year-old man with COVID-19 had PS for fever, coughing, and breathlessness. Two days after therapy, the patient's clinical condition worsened. X-ray and CT showed pneumomediastinum, emphysema and pneumothorax. The patient was intubated and subjected to conservative therapy. The patient was discharged after about 20 days. Radiological imaging plays a key role in the proper diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 patients with related complications.
