ABSTRACT

We present the case of a 76-year-old man referred to our hospital with a round stone in central mediastinum and pneumomediastinum in chest radiography and computed tomography. He had a previous history of attempt of endoscopic retrievement of a gallstone that had caused a gastric outlet obstruction (Bouveret syndrome). To our knowledge, this is the first imaging description of mediastinal gallstone caused by esophagus perforation during complicated endoscopic lithotomy.

ABSTRACT

We report a case of a 58-year-old male with cirrhosis and upper gastrointestinal bleeding who developed multiple lipiodol pulmonary emboli after endoscopic injection sclerotherapy for gastric variceal bleeding. The patient did not have any respiratory symptoms after the sclerotherapy. A chest radiograph, obtained 1 day after the procedure for the evaluation of fever, demonstrated multiple tubular radiopacities in both hilar regions. CT confirmed the existence of multiple radiopaque emboli within the main pulmonary arteries, a small pleural effusion, and no evidence of associated pulmonary parenchymal changes. The patient had no further symptoms, and the radiologic opacities persisted on radiographs obtained 3 months later.

ABSTRACT

FUNDAMENTO: La radiografía lateral de tórax, mediante la detección de deformidades vertebrales, puede ayudar a identificar tempranamente a los enfermos con esteoporosis. En este trabajo hemos querido ver con qué frecuencia los radiólogos refieren en sus informes de radiografías laterales de tórax algún dato que permita al clínico sospechar una osteoporosis, y en qué porcentaje de casos el clínico, ante estos informes, llega a diagnosticar la enfermedad. PACIENTES Y MÉTODO: Se han revisado los informes de las radiografías laterales de tórax de 3.500 pacientes consecutivos, así como sus informes de alta. RESULTADOS: Los informes radiológicos hicieron referencia a la existencia de osteoporosis sólo en un 20 por ciento de los casos potencialmente diagnosticables; los informes clínicos lo hicieron en un 6,3 por ciento (un tercio de los casos con informe radiológico positivo); sólo se trató adecuadamente al 4 por ciento (dos tercios de los casos diagnosticados por el clínico). CONCLUSIONES: La osteoporosis es una enfermedad desatendida por radiólogos y clínicos. Las radiografías laterales de tórax constituyen una herramienta diagnóstica desaprovechada en la identificación de pacientes con osteoporosis (AU)
