Gastric-bypass-induced pneumothorax.

Substernal gastric bypass has been recently revived to palliate unresectable esophageal carcinoma. We report an unusual postoperative complication of gastric bypass: recurrent pneumothorax responding to nasogastric tube decompression of a distended thoracic stomach.

Metastatic pulmonary calcification in primary hyperparathyroidism.

Metastic pulmonary calcification (MPC) developed in a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism. Renal function was only minimally impaired (creatine clearance of 65 ml/min) the day prior to appearance of the lung infiltrate, but deteriorated (creatinine clearance of 14 ml/min) concomitantly with the appearance of MPC. Lung imaging with 99mTc bone-scanning agents helps differentiate MPC from other problems with similar clinical and roentgenographic findings, thus allowing prompt therapy.

The cervicothoracic continuum.

The anatomic communications between the neck and the mediastinum are described. Anatomic sections and drawing are used to demonstrate the normal compartments, their fascial envelopes, their contained structures, and their interrelationships. Selected cases are used to illustrate the spread of pathologic processes within the cervicothoracic region.
