Epithelial splenic cysts and life-threatening splenic rupture.
BACKGROUND/AIM Primary splenic cysts are relatively uncommon and in the majority of cases are classified as epithelial cysts which are more frequent in young patients. Most of them are asymptomatic, and they are found incidentally during imaging techniques or laparotomy. We report two rare cases of patients with epithelial splenic cysts as an incidental finding during emergency laparotomy for s...
متن کاملEvaluation and establishment of a canine model of delayed splenic rupture using contrast-enhanced ultrasound
The aim of the present study was to establish a canine model of delayed splenic rupture (DSR). A total of 15 mongrel dogs were anesthetized and laparotomized. The hematomas were observed following an injection of heparin. The hematomas were ruptured. The severity of the spleen rupture was evaluated and the intra-abdominal free liquid was measured....
متن کاملLife-threatening Rupture of a Femoral Pseudoaneurysm after Cardiac Catheterization
A pseudoaneurysm refers to a defect in the arterial wall, allowing communication of arterial blood with the adjacent extra-luminal space. Pseudoaneurysms result from traumatic arterial injury. With the increasing utilization of percutaneous arterial interventions, iatrogenic arterial injury has become the predominant cause of pseudoaneurysm formation. Rupture of the pseudoaneurysm comprises a v...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a method of achieving tumor necrosis by cell protein denaturation that is induced by heating tissues to above 45°C, is applied in the treatment of several malignancies. Energy is provided by an RFA current generator, which is connected to an active electrode needle that is placed into the tumor under image guidance. The lesions created have variable diameters, dep...
متن کاملSplenic Rupture After Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy is a familiar and well-tolerated procedure and is widely used as a diagnostic and therapeutic modality by both gastroenterologists and surgeons. Although perforation and hemorrhage are the most common complications, splenic injury or rupture is a rare but potentially lethal complication. We report a case of splenic rupture diagnosed 18 hours after colonoscopy, which required emergen...
