Curious case of a calcified food bolus
نویسندگان
چکیده
Authors present an 80-year-old male attending with obstructive food bolus. Lateral soft tissue neck x-ray demonstrated a suspected calcified foreign body at the level of the larynx. Subsequent senior radiological input reported the findings as incidental calcification of carotid arteries. ENT surgeons should demonstrate increased awareness for potentially calcified soft tissues on interpreting such x-rays.

Spontaneous Resolution of Symptomatic Thoracic Spine Calcified Disc Herniation: A Case Report and Literature Review
Calcification of intervertebral disc (IVD) is an uncommon but well-defined clinical syndrome in children. Despite its benign nature, occasionally, calcified nucleus pulposus can herniate into the spinal canal. We report an interesting case of calcified disc herniation in the thoracic spine. Although it resulted in cord compression and syrinx formation, it well responded to conservative manageme...

Evaluation of calcified metastatic lesions by conventional imaging can be challenging. Ovarian cancer metastases can present with calcification which might increase in size and number following therapy. It is not entirely clear whether these calcifications are associated with tumor response or disease progression. Calcified lesions which do not change in size or configuration are particularly p...
متن کاملThoracobiliary Fistula of Calcified Hydatid Cyst of the Liver

In the present paper we report two cases of thoracobiliary fistula of complicated calcified hydatid cyst of the liver. A 64-year-old man wi...
متن کاملEffect of Bolus Frequency and Its Thickness in Postmastectomy Three-dimensional Conformal Radiotherapy on Skin Dose for Superposition Algorithm
Introduction: The postmastectomy radiotherapy uses bolus to improve the coverage close to the skin; however, it needs to be removed in case of severe skin toxicity. This study investigated the effect of bolus parameters (i.e., frequency and thickness) for the superposition algorithm on skin dose in postmastectomy three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT). <str...
