Bronchoscopy as a supplement to computed tomography in patients with haemoptysis may be unnecessary
BACKGROUND Haemoptysis is a common symptom and can be an early sign of lung cancer. Careful investigation of patients with haemoptysis may lead to early diagnosis. The strategy for investigation of these patients, however, is still being debated. OBJECTIVES We studied whether the combination of computed tomography (CT) and bronchoscopy had a higher sensitivity for malignant and non-malignant ...
متن کاملLumbosacral plexus lesions: correlation of clinical signs and computed tomography.
Neurological signs and computed tomographic morphology were compared in 60 patients. The primary neurological deficit was most commonly located in the sacral (n = 31) or lumbar plexus (n = 23) and was most commonly caused by a neoplasm (n = 40). In 78% of the patients it correlated with the lesions detected by computed tomography (CT). CT reliably demonstrates extraspinal mass lesions, but only...
متن کاملHaemoptysis associated with pulmonary varices: demonstration using computed tomographic angiography.
A 67 yr old female with mitral stenosis presented with an acute haemoptysis caused by the rupture of pulmonary varices. Chest radiography and bronchoscopy showed nonspecific abnormalities. The diagnosis of this rare but potentially lethal complication was made using computed tomographic angiography with three-dimensional volume rendering.
متن کاملSpontaneous perforation of gallbladder with intrahepatic biloma formation: sonographic signs and correlation with computed tomography*
tion in close contact with the right liver lobe (Figure 1). Also, dilatation of intraand extrahepatic biliary ducts was observed, without determining the site of obstruction. With the diagnostic hypothesis of GB perforation in association with biloma, the patient was submitted to abdominal computed tomography (CT), which confirmed the parietal perforation of the GB and allowed the characterizat...
متن کاملGraves' ophthalmopathy: II. Correlation of clinical signs with measures derived from computed tomography.
Quantitative clinical and computed tomographic (CT) measures of Graves' ophthalmopathy were obtained in 76 patients. Significant correlation of several CT parameters of the mid-orbital axial CT slice with optic nerve involvement was established. By means of clinical measures, only limitation of ocular motility was found to correlate with the optic neuropathy. The results suggested that there we...
