Radiologic aspects of hepatic echinococcosis. Value of the intravenous viscerogram and computed tomography.

Over five years, 105 patients with hepatic echinococcosis were studied. Plain radiographs of the hepatic area yielded the correct diagnosis in 35% of patients. Intravenous viscerograms were diagnostic in all but 14 of the patients (an accuracy of 83%). Computed tomography was performed in 19 cases and proved the most efficient of the techniques--it was diagnostic in all 19 cases. The radiological signs of this entity are discussed.

[The surgical treatment of an aneurysm of the celiac trunk and hepatic artery].

We report a case of splenic aneurysms with double location, at the celiac trunks and at the common hepatic artery, in the same patient that was treated by a surgical procedure. We also review literature about the hepatic aneurysms at the celiac trunks, with special attention on the aspects of etiology, natural evolutions and different surgical procedures available. It is remarkable on this kind of pathology that special attention should be paid in order to avoid the simple ligature-exclusion of the aneurysm, it involves realizing an endoaneurysmorrhaphy followed by an aorto-hepatic by-pass.
