Thoracic Blastomycosis and Empyema
Blastomycosis is endemic in river valley areas of the southeastern and Midwestern United States. Pulmonary manifestations include chronic cough and pleuritic pain. Radiographic appearance of the infection can mimic bronchogenic lung carcinoma. Pleural effusion is rarely associated with this pulmonary infection, and empyema has not been previously reported. We report a case of pulmonary and pleu...
متن کاملThoracic empyema due to migrated gallstones.
Hepatobiliary conditions should be considered in the differential diagnosis of right pleural effusion. Here we present the illustrative images of thoracic empyema due to migrated gallstones in a woman who was treated for laparoscopic cholecystectomy one year before. The gallstones were obtained unexpectedly during a thoracentesis with aid of an Abrams needle. This rare complication is discussed...
متن کاملPseudomonas thoracic empyema secondary to nosocomial rhinosinusitis.
Three cases of Pseudomonas thoracic empyema occurring in nasotracheally intubated patients are reported. Paranasal rhinosinusitis, a well documented complication of prolonged nasotracheal intubation, could be the primary infectious location. Massive respiratory tract colonization leads to extensive necrotizing pulmonary lesions. Failure of diagnosis and treatment of sinus involvement could be r...
متن کاملMinimal Invasive Percutaneous Fixation of Thoracic and Lumbar Spine Fractures
We studied 122 patients with 163 fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine undergoing the surgical treatment by percutaneous transpedicular fixation and stabilization with minimally invasive technique. Patient followup ranged from 6 to 72 months (mean 38 months), and the patients were assessed by clinical and radiographic evaluation. The results show that percutaneous transpedicular fixation a...
متن کاملThoracoscopy: A Minimally Invasive Approach to the Anterior Thoracic Spine
M efforts are being made across all surgical specialties to adopt and improve minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques. The main goal of minimally invasive surgery is a surgical outcome that is equivalent or superior to traditional open surgical techniques, but with smaller incisions and less soft tissue disruption than traditional open surgery. The theoretical benefits of using MIS techniq...
