To avoid operating on pseudo tumoral pulmonary infarctions mimicking lung cancer
Pulmonary infarction usually appears as a hump-shaped triangular opacity with its base applied to a pleural surface. In some cases, pulmonary infarctions may appear as a pseudo tumoral opacity mimicking lung cancer. Thoracotomy could be prevented by repeating CT scan in properly selected patients.Pan African Medical Journal 2012; 12:1
RE: Role of Duplex Doppler US for Thyroid Nodules: Looking for the "Sword" Sign
Duplex Doppler US may be useful for the detection of thyroid malignancies that show either anarchic winding or penetrating "sword like" neoangiogenic vessels. It may be helpful in selecting nodules that should undergo fine needle aspiration biopsy

Superior vena cava syndrome: do not miss the Ariadne’s thread
A central venous catheter tip located too high into the superior vena cava (SVC) is known to be a strong risk factor for central venous thrombosis and subsequent SVC syndrome. We report herein the usefulness of catheterizing the implanted port catheter lumen as a salvage procedure to circumvent a complete SVC occlusion in a breast cancer patient. Because the standard central vein catheterization attempt is often unsuccessful, the port catheter should always be considered as the Ariadne’s thread and used as an attempt for catheterization

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in neuro-malaria
We report a case of a 37-year-old patient with Plasmodium falciparum infestation who developed posterior reversible encephalopathy. In cerebral malaria, microscopic studies have shown endothelial dysfunction and disruption of the blood-brain barrier. Data from the literature show that one of the mechanisms of posterior reversible encephalopathy may be capillary leakage and acute disruption of the blood-brain barrier. Our case supports the theory of blood-brain barrier disruption being a key factor in the causation of cerebral malaria
Jugular vein invasion diagnosis and prognosis in thyroid carcinomas
Diagnosis of venous jugular invasion by means of traditional imaging is very rarely reported in the literature. Doppler ultrasound definitively helps to diagnose the tumor thrombus, the extent, and helps in redefining the TNM stage of such an aggressive thyroid tumor
