Perforación faríngea traumática secundaria a sindesmofito / Traumatic pharyngeal perforation secondary to a syndesmophyte

Se trata de un paciente varón, de 57 años, que acude al servicio de urgencias tras traumatismo facial y craneoencefálico al caerse por las escaleras. El paciente refiere cefalea intensa, motivo por el cual se le solicita una tomografía computarizada craneal donde se objetivan burbujas aéreas en espacio retrofaríngeo. Dado este hallazgo, se decide ampliar el estudio a región cervical y valorar así la posibilidad de perforación faríngea. Las perforaciones faríngeas en el contexto traumático son poco frecuentes, pero más aún lo son las causadas por la calcificación del ligamento longitudinal anterior como en nuestro caso

We report the case of a 57-year-old man who presented at the emergency department with injuries to his face and head after falling down the stairs. A head computed tomography examination done because he complained of an intense headache revealed air bubbles in the retropharyngeal space. Given this finding, a computed tomography of the neck was done to evaluate the possibility of pharyngeal perforation. Traumatic pharyngeal perforations are uncommon, but those caused by the calcification of the anterior longitudinal ligament, as in our case, are even more uncommon

Seudotumor inflamatorio en paciente pediátrico / Inflammatory pseudotumor in a five-year-old girl

El seudotumor inflamatorio es la masa pulmonar primaria más frecuente en niños, simulando en muchos casos una neumonía organizada desde el punto de vista de la imagen. Otra localización común de este proceso patológico es la órbita, aunque puede asentar en cualquier parte del cuerpo. Se trata de una lesión poco común y cuasi neoplásica, ya que radiológica y clínicamente se comporta como un tumor maligno. La patogenia, su historia natural, los hallazgos por imagen y las opciones de tratamiento todavía se discuten (AU)

Inflammatory pseudotumor is the most common primary lung mass in children. In many cases, it mimics organizing pneumonia on imaging tests. Another site often affected by inflammatory pseudotumors is the orbit, although they can be found in any part of the body. Inflammatory pseudotumors are rare and quasi-neoplastic, as radiologically and clinically they behave like malignant tumors. Consensus about their pathogenesis, natural history, imaging findings, and treatment options has yet to be reached (AU)
