Familial achalasia of the esophagus in mother and son: a possible pathogenetic relationship.

Familial achalasia most often has been recorded in siblings, and only rarely (twice previously) in a parent and offspring. This report concerns a third case of achalasia in a parent and offspring (mother and son). Clinical and radiographic features of the esophageal achalasia are presented. The possibility that genetic factors may play a role in the etiology of this disorder is discussed.

Uncommon presentation of pancreatic pseudocyst.

Five cases of pancreatic pseudocyst are presented with unusual manifestations. Clinical features of each entity are discussed to enable one to diagnose the rare manifestations and complications of pancreatic pseudocyst. Reasonable understanding of such cases enables accurate diagnostic work-up for confirmation and early surgical intervention.

Renal ischemia and infarction present with one basic characteristic: an area of low attenuation on a CT scan. We present three cases of renal ischemia and infarction with various underlying causes.

Demonstration of innominate artery aneurysm by magnetic resonance/imaging.

Solitary innominate artery aneurysms are very rare in the pediatric age group. They may be seen in association with multiple aneurysms or occasionally in patients with connective tissue disease. Magnetic resonance appears to be a very useful noninvasive technique capable of demonstrating flowing blood and vascular lumen without injection of contrast media.
