Retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst originating from diaphragmatic crura

Bronchogenic cyst is a benign lesion which is commonly seen in the posterior mediastinum. Diaphragmatic origin in retroperitoneum is an unusual location for a bronchogenic cyst. Cross-sectional imaging modalities describe the origin and content of the cyst evidently. Magnetic resonance (MR) images of a 42-year-old male patient who attended ER with back pain revealed a huge retroperitoneal complicated bronchogenic cyst arising from the diaphragm and surrounding the abdominal aorta anteriorly. Bronchogenic cysts in the retroperitoneum rarely originate from the diaphragm and should be kept in mind in the differential diagnoses of abdominal cystic lesions. MR imaging (MRI) is superior to other imaging techniques such as computerized tomography (CT) in detecting the origin and content of these cystic lesions. © 2014, Association of Surgeons of India

The effect of sildenafil citrate on uterine and clitoral arterial blood flow in postmenopausal women

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of sildenafil on the uterine circulation and clitoral artery blood flow in postmenopausal women using color Doppler sonography. Methods: The study population consisted of 25 volunteer naturally postmenopausal women (mean age, 50.2 ± 3.6 years). Color Doppler sonography was performed to measure the resistance and pulsatility indexes of the uterine arteries and peak systolic velocity, resistance, and pulsatility indexes of the clitoral arteries. One hour after administration of a single oral dose of 50 mg sildenafil citrate, the Doppler sonographic examination was repeated. Results: After sildenafil administration, the mean resistance and pulsatility indexes of uterine artery were significantly lower (0.73 ± 0.08 vs 0.80 ± 0.07, P .001 and 1.66 ± 0.50 vs 2.08 ± 0.52, P .001, respectively) in comparison to baseline values, and the mean peak systolic velocity of clitoral artery was significantly higher (17.9 ± 8.6 cm/sec vs 12.9 ± 5.8 cm/sec, P .001). Sildenafil did not cause any significant change in the mean resistance and pulsatility indexes of the clitoral artery (P = .683 and P = .714, respectively). Conclusion: Sildenafil improves the clitoral and uterine blood flow in healthy postmenopausal women without any erotic stimulus. Further studies are needed to determine whether there are roles for sildenafil therapy in postmenopausal women and evaluation of clitoral blood flow by Doppler sonography. © 2004 Medscape

Callus formation of the tibial hallux sesamoid mimicking a bone tumor

Sesamoid tumors of the hallux are rare, and their incidence and differential diagnosis have not been well described. We present a case with a bizarre callus formation of the medial sesamoid of the hallux that mimicked a bone tumor. After excision of the mass and related sesamoid, the patient remained asymptomatic during 3 years of follow-up

Ovarian endometrioma associated with extremely elevated serum CA-125 levels: Utility of imaging in a diagnostic dilemma

Endometriomali hastalarda aşırı yüksek CA-125 düzeyleri tanısal zorluk çıkarabilir. Bu çalışmada serum CA-125 düzeyi 2229 IU/ml olan over endometriomali bir olguda sonografik ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme bulguları sunulmuş ve potansiyel malignitenin tayininde görüntüleme yöntemlerinin yararlılığı tartışılmıştır
