[Hemorrhages of the digestive tract. Diagnosis and treatment using selective arteriography and perfusion of intra-arterial vasopressin].

Diagnosis of GI bleeding can safely be done by selective angiography of abdominal vessels. Patients are studied during acute bleeding phase with the Seldinger-Odman technique. In our experience we have a success rate of 89.4% in cases of arterial bleeding. Once diagnosis has been made, the selective catheter can be used to perform an infusion of a vasoconstrictive drug or selective embolization to treat the bleeding. This technique gives good results in case of arterial bleeding and is only a paliative method in case of esophageal varices.

[Radiographic identification of duodenal ulcer by ingestion of iodine tablets (radiological clinical case)].

Radiological diagnosis of peptic ulcer disease is currently made with a barium meal examination occassionaly is possible to demonstrate an ulcer by air contrast in a plain film of the abdomen or by the retention of a cholecistographic agent in the crater. In the present case, the ulcer was opacified by the ingestion of an antiamoebic yodinated drug. The value and possible mecanisms of its findings are discussed.

[Amebiasis. The technology of the 80's. I. Ultrasound, computerized tomography and magnetic resonance: have they helped improve the diagnosis of hepatic abscess?].

A complete change in the diagnosis of amebic liver abscess has been accomplished since the introduction of new imaging modalities. Ultrasound is today the ideal screening procedure because of it's greater availability, high accuracy and low cost. Computed Tomography is more sensitive and specific and also has greater capacity in the differential diagnosis of intrahepatic and extrahepatic lesions; it is recommended when there is a difficult diagnosis or when there is no response to medical treatment. Initial experience with MRI indicates that is more sensitive for the study of liver masses. It's role in the study of amebic abscess should be assessed in the future.

[Percutaneus cholangiography with the Chiba needle. Results in 220 studies].

The authors employed this new technique of thin needle percutaneous cholangiography in 220 patients with the following results: 99.3% (146/147) success with previous biliary tract dilatation and 79.4% (53/73) success in patients with normal caliber bile ducts. The overall result of 92.7% (204/228) emphasizes that radiological opacification is the best way to study the icteric patient. Only 1.8% of patients with serious complications is less than in other instrumentation methods. By not requiring specialized equipment and being accessible in the majority of hospitals, study cost is reduced. In conclusion, this new technique of percutaneous cholangiography is preferable for accessibility, efficacy, cost and risk in the study of the icteric patient.

[Pancreatic phlegmon].

Seven patients with severe pancreatic inflamation secondary to acute pancreatitis are reported. Symptoms, laboratory data and radiologia findings suggested the diagnosis of phlegmon of the pancreas. The ultrasonography of the pancreas was useful for discriminating pancreatic pseudocyst from this entity. Clinical evolution of the pancreatic phlegmon could be long, up to 4 months, but it has tendency to expontaneous resolution. Relevant clinical findings of the disease are mentioned.

[Secondary sclerosing cholangitis. Radiologic diagnosis and anatomoclinical correlation. Report of a case].

Radiological diagnosis of secondary sclerosing cholangits was made in a patient who presented changes in morphology of the biliary tree in two consecutive post-operatory T-tube cholangiograms. The main change was a diffuse narrowness of the intrahepatic branches. Anatomical changes in post mortem examination had a good correlation with radiological images. The importance of this entity and experience from other authors in the current literature are discussed.
