Pseudotumoral mediastinal mass associated with portal hypertension.
نویسندگان
چکیده
CHEST, 72: 6, DECEMBER, 1977 probably would have demonstrated sonolucency posterior to the posterior left atrial wall. This would suggest a cause other than pericardial effusion for the sonolucency.’ The right atrial angiogram demonstrated an irregular right atrial endocardial border and a 2-cm separation between the right cardiac border and right atrial wall. If the thickness of the separation on the cineangiogram does not change with cardiac action (the patient had a regular heart rate of 140 beats per minute, which, from the echocardiogram of the mitral valve, appeared to be sinus), then causes other than pericardial effusion should be considered.’ A description of the presence or absence of such fluid waves on angiograms would be of interest.

Of 304 consecutive splenic venograms performed for suspected portal hypertension, oesophageal collateral veins were filled in 145. In seven patients massively dilated paraoesophageal collaterals were visible on the plain chest radiograph as a retrocardiac posterior mediastinal mass. Erect and supine radiographs have been compared in four patients, and the Valsalva and Mueller manoeuvres perform...
متن کاملUnusual mediastinal lymph node uptake and peritoneopleural fistula demonstrated on Technetium-99m macro-aggregated human serum albumin (Tc-99m MAA) peritoneal scintigraphy in a patient with portal hypertension.
Peritoneal radionuclide scan is an established imaging modality for evaluating peritoneopleural communications. In this case report, unusual mediastinal lymph node radiotracer uptake is seen in a patient with portal hypertension on peritoneal scintigraphy. This was suspected to be due to marked lymphatic enlargement from longstanding portal hypertension since childhood, permitting passage of th...
