Hepatic adenomas and focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver in young women on oral contraceptives: case reports.

Two cases of hepatic adenoma and one of focal nodular hyperplasia presumably associated with the use of oral contraceptives, are reported. Special reference is made to their clinical presentation, which may be totally asymptomatic. Liver-function tests are of little diagnostic value, but valuable information may be obtained from both liver scanning and hepatic angiography. Histologic differences and clinical similarities between hepatic adenoma and focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver are discussed.

Cerebral infarction: diagnosis and assessment of prognosis by using 123IMP-SPECT and CT.

A multicenter prospective study was performed in 49 patients with 77 regions of cerebral infarction. Each patient was evaluated in the acute (0-5 days) and subacute (6-17 days) phases by (1) clinical neurologic examination, (2) CT scans, and (3) N-isopropyl-p-123I-iodoamphetamine (123IMP) single-photon emission CT (SPECT) scans. The abilities of the scans to (1) detect a lesion and (2) predict the clinical outcome were assessed. For lesion detection, 123IMP-SPECT was superior to CT in the first 2 days, but the scans were equally effective 3-5 days after onset. In the subacute phase, IV contrast-enhanced CT was superior to 123IMP-SPECT and unenhanced CT. The clinical outcome was only mildly correlated with the results of the acute and subacute 123IMP-SPECT and the acute CT scans. Reduction in lesion size on the subacute scans did not correlate with clinical improvement. We conclude that the parameters measured by CT and 123IMP-SPECT in patients with acute cerebral infarction cannot reliably be used to predict clinical outcome. 124I contamination of 123IMP and the use of low-energy collimators may have decreased lesion detectability.
