Jumpers' fractures: patterns of thoracolumbar spine injuries associated with vertical plunges.

Thirty-eight patients who fractured the dorsolumbar spine by vertical plunges are evaluated. The patterns and classification of fractures in cases is presented as well as their salient clinical features. The role of the radiologist in the care of acute spine injuries is highlighted based on the therapeutic implications of proper fracture classification. The role of body section radiography in evaluating patterns of posterior element fractures is suggested.

Stab wound causing mesenteric-portal arteriovenous fistula: an unusual case with a spontaneous closure.

A case of spontaneous closure of a mesenteric-portal arteriovenous fistula secondary to a stab wound is described. Although a variety of clinical complications can result from such fistulae, it is not always possible to perform an immediate closure of such lesions. The patient described was unable because of his condition to undergo surgical repair of his fistula: when readmitted after 2 months the fistula had closed and the artery was normal.

Bedside pulmonary arteriography.

A new technique of bedside pulmonary arteriography is described, in which small volumes of contrast material are injected manually in order to obtain segmental arteriograms in patients who are too ill to undergo conventional pulmonary angiography. This method is safe and effective and can provide information which is useful in the management of certain critically ill patients.

Hemorrhage from the gastroesophageal junction. A cryptic angiographic diagnosis.

The angiographic localization of gastroesophageal-junction hemorrage emanating from the left inferior phrenic artery (which originated from the abdominal aorta) is described. The diagnosis was established after conventional selective celiac and left gastric arteriography failed to demonstrate extravasation. The arteriographic evaluation of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage requires consideration of the variable arterial distribution to the gastroesophageal junction and an awareness of the variable causes of dense opacification (including superimposed adrenal glands) that may mimic extravasation.
