Cervical spinal arteriovenous malformation.

Cervical spinal arteriovenous malformations and fistulas are rare but important entities because they are potentially curable. MRI and angiography are the most useful imaging modalities for the diagnosis. On contrast-enhanced CT imaging, they can mimic a tumor. A case report of cervical spinal arteriovenous malformation, initially believed to be a tumor, is presented.

Transition of renal arteriovenous fistula to arteriocalyceal fistula during embolization.

Selective and superselective renal embolization is a generally accepted technique for treating traumatic or iatrogenic renal arteriovenous fistulas or arteriocalyceal fistulas. Only a minority are pure arteriocalyceal fistulas. During embolization, an arteriovenous fistula may become a frankly bleeding arteriocalyceal fistula, causing massive haematuria and necessitating further embolization.

Fibrous mesothelioma. Case report.

A case of fibrous mesothelioma is presented. Chest films suggested an elevation of the left diaphragm and a limited pleural effusion, which was confirmed on computed tomography. Percutaneous needle biopsy showed mesothelial cells. At thoracotomy the tumor was attached to the pleura of the mediastinum by a pedicle. Complete surgical resection was possible. Clinical, radiological and histological data in literature are summarized. The radiological features of the presented case correspond to those described in the literature.

Transluminal angioplasty: late results sustained by digital intravenous subtraction angiography.

Digital intravenous subtraction angiography (DIVSA) appears to be a technique of minimal invasiveness and high accuracy in the follow-up of patients after percutaneous angioplasty (PTA) allowing correct angiographic evaluation in more than 96% of the cases. Correlation between clinical and angiographic findings seems to be excellent. Of the controlled intravenous examinations performed in 54 successful PTA procedures 75% appeared patent after 10 to 30 months, constituting 52% of the original attempts.
