Case report: avascular necrosis of the femoral head as a complication of complex embolization for severe pelvic haemorrhage.

We present a case of avascular necrosis of the femoral head following embolization of the right medial femoral circumflex artery with alcohol after a failed prior internal iliac artery ligation to control benign pelvic haemorrhage in a 41-year-old woman. No case of late necrosis of the head of the femur as a complication of iliac artery vessel embolization to control haemorrhage has been documented previously. The problems associated with therapeutic pelvic embolization following ligation of the internal iliac artery and the disruption of the femoral head arterial supply are discussed.

Journey through the abdominal underpass: the subperitoneal pathway of disease spread revisited.

The subperitoneal space is a large potential space in the abdominal cavity created during embryogenesis. It plays an important, although often underestimated, role in the spread of intra-abdominal disease. The various mesenteric folds and ligaments serve as communicating pathways between compartments but sometimes act as barriers to the spread of disease. The authors describe the anatomic features of the subperitoneal space in detail and illustrate the interconnections between organs and compartments by means of case studies. An appreciation of the role of the subperitoneal pathways allows accurate interpretation of complex images and improved diagnostic accuracy.
