Focal aneurysmal dilatation of subchorionic vessels simulating chorioangioma.

Subchorionic vascular aneurysms of the placenta are rare lesions and may present confusion with chorioangioma or focal mesenchymal dysplasia on sonography. To our knowledge, the findings of placental aneurysms have not been reported in the ultrasound literature. We present a case with detailed sonographic evaluation, including spectral and color Doppler and pathological analysis, that was mistaken for chorioangioma prenatally. Knowledge of this benign entity may allow the sonologist to recommend conservative management in similar cases.

Percutaneous venous interventions.

Percutaneous procedures by interventional radiologists are becoming an increasingly frequent part of the overall care of patients with complex venous thrombotic diseases. Inferior vena caval filters are used in the setting of failed or contraindicated anticoagulation. Catheter-directed thrombolysis is considered for patients with extensive iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis. Venous angioplasty is often indicated for patients with dialysis shunt venous stenoses, upper extremity venous stenoses and for stenoses within venous bypass grafts. Venous stenting is often employed following angioplasty to ensure long-term procedural success. Finally, suction and mechanical thrombectomy and embolectomy are relatively new procedures that are available to optimize patient management.

MR imaging of annular pancreas.

The appearance of annular pancreas on magnetic resonance (MR) images is described in a 14-year-old with pancreatitis and incomplete pancreas divisum. The presence of the coexisting abnormalities complicated the interpretation of an upper gastrointestinal series and computed tomographic (CT) study. MR imaging was useful as a problem-solving technique to supplement the conventional imaging tests.
