RESUMO
The diagnostic capacity of computed tomography in a rupture of a thoracic aorta aneurysm complicated by hemothorax is examined. Both the case examined and reports in the literature show the greatest importance and utility of CT for correct emergency diagnosis, in high risk patients, when other systems cannot be used in the first instance.

An unusual case of an aneurysm on the splenic artery diagnosed as an accessory spleen on the basis of sonographic examination triggers a discussion of sonography, CT and angiography in the diagnosis of splenic aneurysms, which though rare in absolute term constitute a real threat to the patient's life giving her [correction of him] a high percentage of spontaneous ruptures when they do occur.

Among diagnostic techniques proposed for the study of obstructive jaundice, the initial use of echotomography clearly distinguishes between medical and surgical forms. If surgery is not indicated, further diagnostic investigations, (transhepatic percutaneous cholangiography followed if necessary by drainage of the bile duct) are conducted. Used in conjunction, echography and TPC will solve clinical doubts in most cases.

Successful execution of mammary pneumocystography in 87-96 attempts is reported. A brief description of the method and a statistical assessment of the incidence and features of the cysts observed are followed by the expression of a very favourably judgment on the soundness of the technique, and the presentation of several of the more meaningful cases.
