Early transient leg swelling at the side of renal transplant in two children.

Item does not contain fulltextTwo children are described with a huge leg swelling shortly after renal transplantation. The swelling was located at the side of the renal transplant. The swelling was caused by the compression of the iliac vein by the renal transplant combined with perirenal fluid collection. Doppler flow studies allow the exclusion of thrombosis as an explanation for the swelling. An aggressive treatment should be avoided. However, anticoagulation is required

[Therapeutic dilemmas in patients with a centrally-located pulmonary embolism confirmed by spiral CT-scan but with no cardiogenic shock]

3 patients, 2 women aged 64 and 44 and 1 man aged 67, had severe dyspnoea and a large centrally-located pulmonary embolism (PE) without any accompanying arterial hypotension. They were all given conventional anticoagulation therapy, although thrombolytic therapy was also considered. The women recovered but the man eventually died of a second massive embolism. PE is a disease with a potentially high mortality. Patients with cardiogenic shock due to PE are candidates for thrombolytic therapy. A subset of patients with right-ventricular dysfunction (submassive PE) also have a poorer prognosis despite the absence ofarterial hypotension or shock. Spiral CT-scan is becoming the first-line imaging test of preference in patients with suspected PE. Spiral CT enables the accurate visualization ofthrombi. The value of risk management using cardial biomarkers, spiral CT and echocardiography is not yet clear. There is no evidence that thrombolytic therapy is beneficial in patients with acute PE and right-ventricular dysfunction without overt shock

Determining mucosal barrier injury to the oesophagus using CT scan.

INTRODUCTION: Oral mucositis is recognised as one of the most debilitating complications of high-dose cytostatic chemotherapy used to prepare for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but very little is known about oesophageal mucositis, as endoscopy is not routinely performed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We incorporate the computed tomography (CT) scan in the diagnostic workup of fever during neutropenia to detect evidence of pulmonary complications. This allowed us to evaluate whether mucosal barrier injury to the oesophagus can be determined. We selected 46 patients without oesophageal cancer or immune suppression (controls), who had a normal oesophagus, and measured the mucosal thickness at the upper part (UP), middle part (MP) and lower part (LP) of the oesophagus. Next, we selected 30 patients having a CT scan done for diagnostic purposes within 14 days after HSCT and measured mucosal thickness at the same levels. We also scored oral mucositis and gut toxicity. RESULTS: The mucosal thickness of the UP, MP and LP, respectively, for the controls (mean +/- SD) was 4.1 mm (+/-1.1), 4.2 mm (+/-1.2) and 4.8 mm (+/-1.3), and the corresponding values for the subjects were 5.9 mm (+/-2.2), 5.9 mm (+/-2.0) and 7.7 mm (+/-3.0). Analysis of variance showed statistically significant differences between subjects and controls at all oesophageal levels. All patients suffered from severe oral mucositis at the time. CONCLUSION: Hence, mucosal barrier injury to the oesophagus can be objectively measured using CT scan
