Congenital abscence of the left pericardium detected by imaging of the lung: case report.

A patients with congenital absence of the left pericardium had an unusual scintillation camera image of the lung showing perfused lung between the heart and diaphragm and a priminence in the area of the pulmonary artery. This finding was not duplicated in 500 other gamma images of the lung and is probably characteristic of congenital absence of the left pericardium.

Pseudolesion with nonionic contrast myelography.

Water soluble contrast myelography has been associated with a variety of complications. The inadvertant injection of air into the thecal sac may produce an apparent extramedullary, intradural defect on myelography. Post myelography CT examination should be used to confirm the presence of such a pseudolesion.
