Research paper thumbnail of Abdomino-pelvic trauma in emergency: Evaluation using contrast enhanced multidetector computed tomography

In present scenario, Computed Tomography scan has become the main diagnostic tool for evaluating injuries to major abdominal organs including liver, pancreas, spleen, kidney, small gut, large gut and mesentery. The study was undertaken to characterise the imaging features of various organs injuries in cases of abdominal trauma using multi detector computed tomography. It was found that CT provides a detailed and elusive information regarding the injury to various organs and vessels. Combined efforts of the trauma team and emergency radiologist helps to permit proper triage of the patient and helps in management of the trauma cases.

Research paper thumbnail of Inguinoscrotal swellings in childhood: a clinico-diagnostic approach to differential diagnosis

A wide range of swellings are seen in this region in children and includes hydrocele, torsion testis, ectopic testis, lymphadenopathy, inguinal hernias, cysts, epididymitis, orchitis, tumors etc. Vigilant clinical and radiological evaluation of inguinoscrotum for varying diseases helps in proper diagnosis and surgical management of its differential diagnosis.Methods: The present study was conducted as an observational study over a period of 10 months and enrolled a total of 50 patients.Results: In this study, 31 cases had hydrocele, 14 cases had inguinal hernia, 2 cases had epididymorchitis, 2 cases had lymphadenopathy and one case had idiopathic scrotal edema. Individual diseases had varying presentations, clinical findings and post-operative findings.Conclusions: There is a varying broad spectrum of swellings in the inguinoscrotal region in young male children. It wa...

Research paper thumbnail of Profile of Digital Mammography Findings in Patients with Histopathologically Proven Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS)

Breast carcinoma is a heterogeneous group of tumors with a wide spectrum of clinical presentation... more Breast carcinoma is a heterogeneous group of tumors with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations, lesion characterization and diagnostic evaluation. Ductal carcinoma in situ accounts for 15%-20% of breast carcinomas detected in screened populations. Ductal carcinoma in situ has a variable appearance on mammography. The use of mammography has become as a very helpful tool for the early detection of larger number of patients with ductal carcinoma in situ and, thus, offering timely surgery and the need for the appropriate radiation treatment to patients. This study was undertaken as a hospital-based retrospective study to evaluate the varied spectrum of mammographic findings in 57 women with histopathological diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ. The spectrum of mammographic findings of ductal carcinoma in situ was found to vary widely. A thorough and vigilant inspection of a mammogram is necessary for all the patients to avoid the possibility of missing early diagnosis of this enti...

Research paper thumbnail of Splenic abscess presenting as a case of pneumoperitoneum: a rare presentation

International Surgery Journal

Pneumoperitoneum is more pathognomonic of ruptured hollow viscera which requires urgent surgical ... more Pneumoperitoneum is more pathognomonic of ruptured hollow viscera which requires urgent surgical intervention. But uncommon surgical entities may present with pneumoperitoneum. Splenic abscess is a relatively rare medical condition that results from bacteraemia. Pneumoperitoneum in a ruptured splenic abscess is very uncommon and is often misdiagnosed as a perforation. Spontaneous rupture of splenic abscess is a life-threatening emergency mandating early surgical intervention. We report a case of ruptured splenic abscess which presented with peritonitis and pneumoperitoneum, managed successfully by splenectomy.

Research paper thumbnail of A Rare Case of Large Impacted Stone in Jejunum Causing Obstruction in a Patient of Gallstone Ileus

Galician Medical Journal

Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of cholelithiasis that occurs as a result of occlusion of ... more Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of cholelithiasis that occurs as a result of occlusion of the intestinal lumen by a large sized gallstone accounting for 1-4% cases of small bowel obstruction. The aim of this work is to introduce a case report that emphasize the diagnostic and therapeutic management of gallstone ileus with an enterolith impacted in jejunum (an uncommon site).

Research paper thumbnail of Radiological Findings in Chronic Contained Rupture of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in a Patient Presenting with Lower Back Pain

Galician Medical Journal

There is a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma in cases of chronic contained rupture of abdominal ... more There is a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma in cases of chronic contained rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm, as the symptoms can be more subtle including dull back pain, and thus lacking the typical features of rupture. The objective of this research was to introduce a case report emphasizing the need to relate the low back pain with atypical radiological appearances of entities, as aortic abdominal aneurysms, capable to compromise the patients’ clinical diagnosis, prognosis and treatment.
