Bilateral retropharyngeal parathyroid hyperplasia detected with 4D multidetector row CT.
We present a case of bilateral retropharyngeal parathyroid hyperplasia detected with 4D-CT in a patient with persistent primary hyperparathyroidism and failed neck exploration. We discuss the embryologic basis of ectopic retropharyngeal parathyroid adenomas and hyperplasia and the utility of 4D-CT in their localization for surgical planning.
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of 4D-CT for parathyroid adenomas and hyperplasia.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 4D-CT is a novel method of multiphase CT imaging. When used to localize parathyroid adenomas and hyperplasia, this technique may allow for more robust diagnostic accuracy than traditional sonography and nuclear scintigraphy techniques. The purpose of our study is to assess the accuracy of 4D-CT for localizing pathologically proved parathyroid adenomas and hyperplasia foun...

متن کاملMultidetector-row CT angiographic findings in the bilateral aortic arch origin of the vertebral arteries.
We recently read the interesting article by Albayram et al (1), which concisely explained the anomalies of the vertebral arteries. We would like to present another rare case of bilateral vertebral arteries originating from the aortic arch. We incidentally diagnosed this condition on the basis of findings on a chest CT scan obtained in a patient with trauma. Our trauma chest CT protocol uses 8 2...
متن کاملPancreatico-Colonic Fistula-Demonstrated by Multidetector-Row CT
A 25-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a history of corrosive (turpentine) ingestion. Clinically, the patient had metabolic acidosis and his total white cell count was 28600/mm. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the thorax and abdomen revealed diffuse thickening of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. Minimal free fluid was present in the abdomen. The patient was first stab...
