Aberrant commissural positioning, hooding, and thrombotic occlusion of right and left coronary ostia in the left sinus of valsalva associated with small coronary arteries: a newly described anomaly and a cause of sudden death in an adolescent.

Reported is a triad of coronary artery anomalies associated with sudden and unexpected death in an adolescent occurring 10 hours after elective surgery. The abnormalities consisted of (1) the anomalous origins of both left and right coronary orifices in the left sinus of Valsalva, behind and through the commissure; (2) formation of a triangular septum between the upper portion of the commissure and the aorta, delineating a cul-de-sac which partially surrounded the coronary ostia; (3) small proximal coronary arteries. Development of a thrombus, putatively elicited by turbulence in the cul-de-sac, acted as a flutter valve to occlude both coronary ostia causing extensive acute myocardial infarction.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome with splenosis. A case report.

This is the first reported case of simultaneously occurring pelvic splenosis and Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome. No other congenital or anatomic abnormalities were observed in the patient, and she had no history of abdominal trauma or surgery. Endometriosis was suspected initially during laparoscopy for pelvic pain. After tissue removal at laparotomy, the histologic evaluation established the diagnosis of splenosis. Biopsy at laparoscopy should be considered to confirm the diagnosis in the presence of a congenital anomaly and lesions suspected of being endometriotic.

Termination of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia by digital rectal massage.

A 71-year-old woman with an episode of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) complicated by angina pectoris and hypotension had her arrhythmia abruptly terminated by digital rectal massage (DRM) after other vagotonic maneuvers had failed. DRM termination of PSVT has not been heretofore reported. In treating PSVT by physical vagotonic maneuvers, DRM may be preferable to other techniques because of the decreased likelihood of complications noted with other such maneuvers.
