1/43. Emergency endovascular treatment of a life-threatening hemorrhage from traumatic rupture of the left extracranial vertebral artery.Hemorrhagic complications from transection of cervical arteries in blunt traumas are rare. We report a case of potentially fatal hemorrhage from rupture of the left vertebral artery in a closed trauma, successfully treated by endovascular injection of glue. Endovascular embolization may be considered as an alternative to surgical exploration in the treatment of traumatic lesions of vertebral arteries.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/43. Primary peritoneal pregnancy: a case report.A 22-year-old primipara using intrauterine contraceptive device was diagnosed to be in haemorrhagic shock due to acute ruptured ectopic pregnancy. At laparotomy, both tubes and ovaries were normal and products of conception were found to be implanted on the posterior surface of uterus near the attachment of right uterosacral ligament producing a haemoperitoneum of more than 2 l. This is the fourth case report of primary abdominal pregnancy associated with intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD).- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/43. splenic rupture as a consequence of giant paraesophageal hernia.Elective surgical repair of "giant" paraesophageal hernias is recommended to prevent the potential complications of gastric volvulus, obstruction, and ischemic perforation. We report the unusual complication of splenic capsular laceration and hemorrhagic shock following forceful retching by a patient with an incarcerated paraesophageal hernia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.8keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/43. [diagnosis and treatment of spleen rupture during pancreatitis]A 31-year old man was admitted for acute pancreatitis. His condition deteriorated progressively and he developed an acute anemia followed five days after admission by an hemorrhagic shock consecutive to splenic rupture. A 45-year old woman was admitted because of an acute episode of chronic pancreatitis. She improved progressively but developed eleven days after admission an hemorrhagic shock consecutive to the rupture of a subcapsular haematoma of the spleen. splenic rupture, an infrequent complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis, is responsible for anemia and hemorrhagic shock. Abdominal ultrasonography and CT scan are necessary to make the diagnosis of splenic rupture and to look for risk factors of splenic rupture, i.e. necrosis in the spleen hilium, left pancreatic pseudocyst, splenic vein thrombosis, segmental portal hypertension, splenomegaly and intrasplenic collection. When possible, embolization of the splenic artery can stop bleeding. splenectomy with distal pancreatectomy seems to be the appropriate treatment of splenic rupture.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/43. Clinics in diagnostic imaging (54).A 29-year-old man sustained a pelvic fracture and haemorrhagic shock after a road traffic accident. He underwent an exploratory laparotomy open cystostomy, and iliac artery embolisation. Subsequent antegrade cystography and computed tomography showed a complete traumatic posterior urethral rupture with a "high riding" bladder. Delayed repair of the posterior urethra was performed 6 months later with good functional outcome. The risk of urethral injury in pelvic fractures, the mechanism of injury, and the role of imaging in the diagnosis of possible urethral injury in pelvic fractures are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/43. Nonocclusive ischemic colitis in a 12-year-old girl: value of unenhanced spiral computed tomography.A 12-year-old girl was hit by a car and arrived in the emergency room in hemorrhagic shock. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen showed traumatic rupture of the liver and large amounts of intraperitoneal hemorrhage. Unenhanced computed tomography showed a hyperdense thickening of the wall of the descending colon. This finding was consistent with a nonocclusive ischemic colitis, which was confirmed some days later by endoscopy, at a time when the patient had already developed Gram-negative bacteremia. We discuss the pathogenesis of nonocclusive ischemic colitis, computed tomography findings, and the value of unenhanced computed tomography.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/43. Successful reconstruction of stripped superficial femoral vein.A 69-year-old man who had hemorrhagic shock after inadvertent stripping of the right superficial femoral-popliteal vein during surgery for greater saphenous vein varicosis in another hospital was referred to us. phlebography revealed a ruptured popliteal vein with intact profunda femoris and common femoral veins. The stripped superficial femoral-popliteal vein brought in a jar was reimplanted. phlebography performed during the patient's follow-up visits in our outpatient clinic 11 months postoperatively showed a patent femoral vein.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/43. Primary renal sarcoma with inferior vena cava thrombus presenting with tumor rupture.Primary renal sarcoma represents approximately one per cent of all primary tumors of the kidney in adults. We report an unusual case of primary renal sarcoma with inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus. This patient presented with hemorrhagic shock due to tumor rupture. Emergent radical nephrectomy and vena caval thrombectomy were performed. Histological examination proved a clear cell sarcoma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/43. Hemorrhagic shock due to intrathoracic rupture of an osteosarcoma of the rib.A 13-year-old girl presented with dyspnea and chest pain. Chest radiography showed a massive left pleural effusion. Computed tomography revealed a tumor of the fourth rib. A large bloody effusion was drained. Her anemia worsened (hemoglobin: 4.8 g/dl), and hemorrhagic shock ensued. An emergency thoracotomy was performed. Bleeding from the ruptured tumor was identified. The fourth rib, the tumor, and the adjacent tissues were resected. Histopathologic examination revealed a ruptured primary osteosarcoma of the rib with pleural dissemination.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/43. Spontaneous rupture of the pancreaticoduodenal artery possibly related to prior occlusion of the common hepatic artery: report of a case.We report herein a case of spontaneous rupture of the pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) associated with obstruction of the common hepatic artery. A 68-year-old man was admitted to our hospital following the sudden onset of severe upper abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed a large mass formation in the peritoneal cavity. Hemorrhagic shock rapidly developed during the initial evaluation, necessitating an exploratory laparotomy to be performed in the emergency room. This revealed a large hematoma in the retroperitoneal space, and a ruptured PDA was sutured. Postoperative angiography showed obstruction of the common hepatic artery and also suggested that the source of the bleeding was the PDA. Thus, a diagnosis of spontaneous rupture of a PDA aneurysm associated with occlusion of the common hepatic artery was made. Following this case report, we discuss the development of true aneurysms of the PDA and the treatment of ruptured true PDA aneurysms resulting in shock.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.6keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
