Obstruction to ventricular outflow may be either discrete and fixed, or dynamic and variable. A fixed obstruction is most common at valvar level but occasionally it may be subvalvar or supravalvar. Dynamic or functional obstruction is associated with hypertrophy of ventricular muscle and is invariably subvalvar. This latter type of functional obstruction was first recognized in the right ventri...

Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is not an uncommon occurrence in patients with malignancy and it is often described as a medical emergency. In majority of the cases, SVC syndrome occurs due to mechanical obstruction of the SVC by extraluminal compression with primary intrathoracic malignancies. However, intraluminal obstruction due to thrombosis can also produce symptoms and signs of SVC synd...

Introduction: The selection of   optimal treatment of obstructive nephrouropathy requires information about the functional status of each kidney. Nuclear renal scanning objectively measure differential renal function, multiple studies have demonstrated the role of assessment of renal perfusion and GFR with triphasic CT. The aim of this study is to assess the role of CT based on renal parenchyma...

Cardiac lipomatous hypertrophy is a rare benign condition that usually involves the interatrial septum. Due to its benign nature it rarely requires intervention. Its presence outside the interatrial septum is reported infrequently. We present a case of lipomatous hypertrophy in the intraventricular septum that was complicated by a severe, symptomatic, and disabling dynamic left ventricular outf...

a 41-year old mentally retarded patient presented acutely with a 3 day history of vomiting and absolute constipation.  intestinal obstruction was diagnosed following an abdominal x ray. at laparotomy, a left paraduodenal hernia was present, without incarceration of small bowel. the herniated loops were reduced and the hernia orifice closed. the anatomy, treatment and importance of considering t...

The most common cause of gastric outlet obstruction in neonates and infants is hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Pyloric web as a cause of gastric outlet obstruction is relatively rare in children and presents with non bilious vomiting, abdominal pain and failure to thrive. The onset of symptoms is usually late with nonspecific symptoms like vomiting and failure to thrive that seems to be due to n...
