Post-traumatic severe fat embolism syndrome with uncommon CT findings.

Although the diagnosis of fat embolism syndrome is usually based on clinical findings, we describe ill-defined centrilobular and subpleural nodules in addition to ground-glass opacities and consolidation on a computed tomography scan of the chest in a trauma patient with fat embolism syndrome. The nodules presumably represent alveolar oedema, microhaemorrhage and an inflammatory response secondary to ischaemia and cytotoxic emboli in fat embolism syndrome. The literature of computed tomography findings in patients with fat embolism syndrome is reviewed and summarized.

Right-to-left flow through a patent foramen ovale in acute right ventricular infarction. Two case reports and a proposal for management.

Right-to-left shunting through a foramen ovale complicating acute right ventricular infarction and resulting in severe arterial hypoxemia has been described eight times before. Treatment strategies have often aimed at reducing the shunt. Four patients died. Less attention has been paid to attempts at revascularization and, despite a high incidence of atrioventricular conduction disturbances, to temporary dual-chamber pacing. We describe herein two patients with postcardiac surgical right ventricular infarction complicated by severe right-to-left interatrial shunting. Treatment strategy was aimed at improving right ventricular function, and right-to-left shunting ceased. All efforts should be directed at treating right ventricular dysfunction, which is the cause of the clinical picture, and not at reducing the shunt, which is a secondary phenomenon.

[Techniques of uvulopharyngoplasty for snoring].

Snoring is considered abnormal even in children. Breathing difficulties can modify the development of the face and provoke upper respiratory dysfunction. Some surgical techniques are presented.
