[Anticoagulant induced intramural duodenal hematoma presenting as duodenal obstruction]. / Syndrome occlusif et hémorragique révélant un hématome duodénal intramural iatrogène.

An intramural hematoma of the duodenum was first reported in an article in the Lancet in 1838. At least, 90% of cases are caused by blunt abdominal trauma, typically accidents involving bicycles or motor vehicles. Intramural duodenal hematoma is a rare complication of anticoagulant therapy. It occurs in patients who receive excessive anticoagulation with warfarin or who have some other risk factor for bleeding. CT characteristics include circumferential wall thickening, intramural hyperdensity, luminal narrowing, and intestinal obstruction. Early diagnosis is crucial because most patients are treated nonoperatively with a good outcome.

[Ischemic cholangitis after ligation of the hepatic artery: a case report]. / Cholangite ischémique après ligature de l'artère hépatique: à propos d'un cas.

We report a case of ischemic cholangitis that occurred after ligation of the hepatic artery performed to remove a celiac neurofibroma. At seven weeks in a septic setting, the patient developed ischemic cholangitis. Ligation of the hepatic artery and dissection of the hepatic hilum to remove a neurofibroma have played a role in the development of ischemic cholangitis. Our case demonstrates that supplying peribiliary arteries are important for the biliary vascularization of the epithelium.

[Traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation with regressive tetraparesia]. / Dislocation atlanto-occipitale traumatique avec tétraparésie régressive.

We report a case of traumatic atlantooccipital dislocation in a 31 year old woman, with regressive quadriparesia after orthopedic stabilization.

[Isolated gallbladder contusion following blunt trauma: a case report]. / Contusion vésiculaire isolée post-traumatique: à propos d'un cas.

We report a case of isolated gallbladder contusion with hemobilia. Isolated gallbladder injury following blunt trauma is rare and early diagnosis is difficult. However, ultrasonography and computed tomography are valuable for investigating gallbladder injuries.
