An asymptomatic pulmonary hilar mass: a case report.

Pulmonary vein varix is a rare benign abnormality, either congenital or acquired, usually presented without symptoms. It is most frequently discovered by chance on a chest radiograph, whereas computed tomography defines the special characteristics of the lesion. Angiography is considered the method of choice for final diagnosis. The authors present the first case of a patient with pulmonary vein varix accompanied by interatrial communication.

Asthmatic bronchitis for 2 years. A case report.

Longstanding asthmatic bronchitis, without evidence of underlying disease, occurring in middle-aged patients, is usually attributed to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and is treated appropriately. We report a case of 2-year asthmatic bronchitis with recurrent attacks of wheezing, in a 60-year-old patient. He had three repeated hospitalizations, in different institutions, where he was treated for exacerbations of chronic bronchitis complicated by lower respiratory tract infections. During his final hospitalization, a tracheal hamartoma was found and removed, releasing him from his symptoms.

Accidental epidural injection of vecuronium.

IMPLICATIONS: We report a case of accidental epidural injection of vecuronium in a female patient who underwent hemorrhoidectomy using epidural anesthesia. Because epidural injection of muscle relaxants may have serious side effects, immediate establishment of airway protection, monitoring of muscle relaxation, and follow-up for clinical signs of neurotoxicity are recommended.
