Intramural duodenal hematoma (IDH) is a rare finding in the adult, especially when related to iatrogenic complications of ulcer treatment. It can lead to biliary obstruction and pancreatitis, which proved fatal in our case. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) is invaluable in detecting the abnormality and can definitely be diagnostic.

The fronto-ethmoidal osteoma is a relatively rare radiological finding and its growth potential, as well as the complications it may lead to, are often underestimated. Osteomas are a frequent cause of mucoceles and sinusitis due to blockage of the nasal ducts but can also present with more dramatic signs such as orbital or intracranial invasion. This knowledge must draw our attention to the need for follow-up of these tumors, whose growth apparently continues after puberty, especially when they are of the spongy type.
