[Endometriomas of the abdominal wall: Imaging findings].

Endometrioma of the abdominal wall is a not well-recognized disease and usually develops after pelvic surgery. The most common presentation is a mass of the abdominal wall associated with pain during menstruation. We report six cases of parietal endometriomas studied with ultrasonography, CT, and in one case with MRI. Our results are compared with recent findings in the literature. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical and imaging findings in abdominal wall endometriomas that can help reach a presurgical diagnosis.

Surgical anatomy and embryology of the adrenal glands.

Gross anatomy explains the different surgical approaches to adrenalectomy and the difficulties encountered by surgeons during this procedure. Development of the adrenal glands explains the location of the ectopic sites and excess hormone production by adrenal tumors. The choice of a surgical approach is sometimes difficult and is dependent on (1) the morphology of the body; (2) the volume of the tumor, which necessitates immediate vascular control; and (3) the type of disease, which may necessitate a complete exploration of the abdominal cavity.

Right nonrecurrent inferior laryngeal nerve and arteria lusoria: the diagnostic and therapeutic implications of an anatomic anomaly. Review of 17 cases.

The authors report 17 cases of a right non-recurrent inferior laryngeal n. (NRILN) observed during 15 years of practice of thyroid and parathyroid surgery. In their last two cases, the existence of an aberrant right subclavian a., constantly associated with NRILN, was confirmed by MRI angiography. On the basis of the literature and their own experience, the authors review the incidence of this double anomaly, its embryologic explanation and its anatomic and surgical importance. They stress the diagnostic factors and the therapeutic implications, very different in children and adults, of a particular vascular anomaly whose outcome is little understood.

[Volume rendering technique in 3D vascular imaging].

We used volume rendering technique (VRT) for generating three-dimensional (3D) images of the vasculature from spiral computed tomography (CT) data sets. This paper describes the methods used for volume rendering and focuses on the specific aspects of volume rendering as applied to vascular imaging.

[Mycotic aneurysm of the posterior tibial artery and pseudo-phlebitis: contribution of color Doppler ultrasonography].

Mycotic aneurysm of the posterior tibial artery and pseudophlebitis: role of color Doppler sonography A case of a 78-year-old male patient presenting with endocarditis caused by Streptococcus bovis and pseudophlebitis of the left lower limb is described. Color Doppler sonography ruled out thrombophlebitis and showed a large pulsatile mass of the posterior compartment of the leg due to a mycotic aneurysm of the posterior tibial artery. This aneurysm was confirmed by angiography and treated by surgery. The important role of color Doppler sonography for the diagnosis of this particular case is emphasized.
