RESUMO
Several complications have been reported in relation to organophosphate poisoning. Pancreatitis due to cholinergic hypersecretion related to this type of poisoning, is however rare and has usually a subclinical course. Necrotizing pancreatitis has only been reported in 3 patients. We present a case of a young man who deliberately ingested the organophosphate dichlorvos and developed a necrotizing pancreatitis. A distal spleen and vessel preserving pancreatectomy was performed already 36 hours after ingestion. We believe that due to this very early surgery, this patient could be discharged as early as 12 days after surgery.

Inguinal or inguinoscrotal herniation of the bladder is not uncommon and has been estimated to comprise 1% to 3% of all inguinal hernias. The appearance of hernias on ultrasonography, intravenous pyelography, cystography, and computed tomography has been described previously but no instance of correlation with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been documented. Nevertheless, herniated bladders can be encountered fortuitously during abdominal MR imaging, and the radiologist should be familiar with their appearance. We present a case of unsuspected paraperitoneal indirect inguinal bladder herniation demonstrated by MR. Appearance on MR is characteristic, and this modality may be useful for differentiating the several types of inguinal hernias of the bladder because of its superior soft tissue contrast. In addition, MR imaging can be used to perform imaging in any plane and dynamic examinations during straining.

Intussusception due to an inverted Meckel's diverticulum is considered a rare occurrence. We present a case of a 37-year-old male with anemia and melena due to an inverted Meckel's diverticulum at the base of an ileoileal intussusception. To our knowledge, this is the first case in which small bowel enema, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging showed the pathology.
