Unusual tumors causing extrahepatic portal venous obstruction.

Extrahepatic portal vein obstruction has been reported to be associated with tumors of liver, bile ducts and pancreas. We report two cases, one with gastric leiomyosarcoma and another with Non Hodgkin's lymphoma, complicated by portal vein block and presenting with gastric variceal bleeding. Portal vein block in both cases was due to direct vascular infiltration. Development of portal hypertension posed difficulties in management.

Halothane-induced fulminant hepatic failure.

Fulminant hepatic failure developed in the early post-operative period in a patient after third exposure to halothane. Exclusion of other causes of post-operative jaundice and temporal relationship of jaundice to anesthesia suggested halothane as the etiologic agent for the submassive necrosis, which was documented at postmortem liver biopsy.

Intestinal lymphangiectasia: evaluation by CT and scintigraphy.

Intestinal lymphangiectasia caused severe diarrhea and generalized edema in a 40-year-old man. The diagnosis was established by clinical, laboratory, and duodenal biopsy findings. The abnormalities detected on computed tomography (CT) and scintigraphy using 99mTc human serum albumin are herein described and pertinent literature is briefly reviewed.

Explosive Campylobacter jejuni diarrhea in immunoproliferative small intestinal disease.

Campylobacter jejuni is an infrequent cause of self limiting acute diarrheal disease in adults in the Indian subcontinent. We report the occurrence of a life threatening diarrhea due to C jejuni infection in a patient with immunoproliferative small intestinal disease. We postulate that immunosuppression due to malignancy, malnutrition and cancer chemotherapy was responsible for the unusually severe diarrhea.
