Linear asymptomatic pneumatosis as an unexpected finding of computed tomography colonography: a case report

INTRODUCTION We discuss asymptomatic colonic pneumatosis, an unexpected finding of computed tomography colonography that we must see as distinct from perforation. Among the papers detailing complications with computed tomography colonography, we found only one report focusing on linear pneumatosis. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 75-year-old Caucasian woman who had a high level of c...

Computed tomography colonography imaging of pneumatosis intestinalis after hyperbaric oxygen therapy: a case report

INTRODUCTION Pneumatosis intestinalis is a condition characterized by the presence of submucosal or subserosal gas cysts in the wall of digestive tract. Pneumatosis intestinalis often remains asymptomatic in most cases but may clinically present in a benign form or less frequently in fulminant forms. Treatment for such conditions includes antibiotic therapy, diet therapy, oxygen therapy and sur...

Colovesical fistula causing an uncommon reason for failure of computed tomography colonography: a case report

INTRODUCTION Computed tomography colonography, or virtual colonoscopy, is a good alternative to optical colonoscopy. However, suboptimal patient preparation or colon distension may reduce the diagnostic accuracy of this imaging technique. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of an 83-year-old Caucasian woman who presented with a five-month history of pneumaturia and fecaluria and an acute epi...

Cone Beam Computed Tomography(CBCT) Features Of A Rare Fibro-Osseous Lesion: A Case Report

Cone beam computed tomography is a useful technique for imaging the craniofacial lesions. It produces more realistic images that facilitate interpretation. Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a rare and benign fibro-osseous neoplasm that arises within the craniofacial bones, especially in the maxilla. Mandibular lesions can be seen in 10% of the cases.In both jaws, it has a predilection for the...
