Idiopathic localized dilatation of the ileum in adults.

The clinical and radiological features of idiopathic aneurysmal dilatation of the ileum in 3 adult patients are described. This uncommon lesion presents as an aperistaltic saccular segment in direct continuity with the normal ileal lumen. On barium examination of the small bowel, however, it may closely resemble and be mistaken for a Meckel's diverticulum. Previous reports about this entity manifesting in the pediatric age group are reviewed.

Hemobilia developing from an aneurysm of the left gastric artery.

In the case reported herein, hemobilia was caused by an aneurysm of the left gastric artery which arose as a separate vessel from the aorta. The role of subselective angiography in the evaluation of hemobilia is emphasized.

Computerized tomographic diagnosis of aneurysms of the thoracic aorta.

Accurate diagnosis of aneurysms of the thoracic aorta and its major branches can easily be performed by CT scanning of the mediastinum. The use of contrast enhancement aids in the diagnosis and allows distinction between flowing and clotted blood within the aneurysm. CT scanning of these lesions seen on chest radiographs may obviate the need for arteriography for diagnosis.
