RESUMEN

A potential link between mortality, d-dimer values, and a prothrombotic syndrome has been reported in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. The National Institute for Public Health of the Netherlands asked a group of radiology and vascular medicine experts to provide guidance for the imaging work-up and treatment of these important complications. This report summarizes evidence for thromboembolic disease, potential diagnostic and preventive actions, and recommendations for prophylaxis and treatment of patients with COVID-19 infection.

RESUMEN

Background Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a condition characterized by the formation of new bone along the anterolateral spinal column at four adjacent vertebral bodies. Purpose To propose and validate criteria for the early phase of DISH by using CT data from two large-scale retrospective cohorts, each with 5-year follow-up. Materials and Methods For this retrospective study, CT data at baseline and follow-up in 1367 patients (cohort I) from 2004 to 2011 were evaluated by two observers to define no DISH, early-stage DISH, and definite DISH on the basis of interval development of consecutive complete or incomplete bone bridges. An independent group of 2267 participants from the COPDGene cohort from 2008 to 2016 was used to validate the early DISH criteria (cohort II). The sensitivity and specificity of early DISH criteria were based on findings in the last CT study as the reference standard by using a nested case-control design. κ Values were calculated between seven readers and with a 3-month interval for one reader. Results Cohort I consisted of 100% men, with a mean age of 60.0 years ± 5.6 (standard deviation) and a mean time between baseline and follow-up CT of 5.0 years ± 1.1. Cohort II consisted of 51% men, with a mean age of 59.9 years ± 8.6 and a mean time between baseline and follow-up CT of 5.4 years ± 0.5. In the derivation cohort, 55 patients comprised the early DISH group. Early DISH was defined as the presence of a spinal segment with a complete bone bridge with an adjacent segment of at least a near-complete bone bridge and another adjacent segment with at least the presence of newly formed bone or when three or more adjacent segments were recorded as showing a near-complete bone bridge. In the validation cohort, sensitivity for early DISH (vs no DISH) was 96% (99 of 103 participants; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 90%, 99%). The corresponding specificity was 83% (1695 of 2034 participants; 95% CI: 82%, 85%). The Fleiss κ for interrater reliability was 0.78 (95% CI: 0.77, 0.78), and the κ for intrarater reliability was 0.89 (95% CI: 0.82, 0.96). Conclusion Early diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) criteria had high sensitivity and specificity for predicting the development of DISH. © RSNA, 2019 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

RESUMEN

Introduction: Spontaneous iliac vein rupture (SIVR) is an uncommon disease with less than sixty cases reported before. This disease often requires surgical intervention. SIVR has never been imaged in the literature. This report shows how to image this diagnosis. Case report: A 71-year-old female was diagnosed with SIVR with the use of CT venography. Endovascular repair with 2 endografts and a sinus XL stent was performed. Postoperatively, the patient developed abdominal compartment syndrome and a large part of the intestines had to be removed because of ischemia. Discussion: This is the first report that shows SIVR before and after endovascular treatment with the use of CT venography by injecting a contrast bolus in the femoral vein. This information is of high interest for a broad range of clinicians to show or exclude a venous abdominal bleeding in an early stage.

RESUMEN

A potential link between mortality, D-dimer values and a prothrombotic syndrome has been reported in COVID-19 patients. The National Institute for Public Health of the Netherlands published a report for guidance on diagnosis, prevention and treatment of thromboembolic complications in COVID-19 with a new vascular disease concept. The analysis of all available current medical, laboratory and imaging data on COVID-19 confirms that symptoms and diagnostic tests can not be explained by impaired pulmonary ventilation. Further imaging and pathological investigations confirm that the COVID-19 syndrome is explained by perfusion disturbances first in the lung, but consecutively in all organs of the body. Damage of the microvasculature by SARS 1 and SARS 2 (COVID-19) viruses causes microthrombotic changes in the pulmonary capillaries and organs leading to macrothrombosis and emboli. Therefore anticoagulant profylaxis, close lab and CT imaging monitoring and early anticoagulant therapy are indicated.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a condition characterized by bony proliferation at sites of tendinous and ligamentous insertions in the spine. Spinal mobility is reduced in DISH and may affect movement in the thorax, potentially leading to restrictive pulmonary function. This study investigated whether DISH is associated with restrictive spirometric pattern (RSP) in former and current smokers. METHODS: Participants (n = 1784) with complete postbronchodilator spirometry who did not meet spirometric criteria for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at time of enrollment in the COPDGene study were included in this study. Subjects were classified as RSP if they had forced expiratory volume in 1 s(FEV1) to forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio > 0.7 with an FVC < 80%. Computed tomography (CT) scans were scored for the presence of DISH in accordance with the Resnick criteria. Chest CT measures of interstitial and alveolar lung disease, clinical symptoms, health surveys, and 6-min walking distance were recorded. Uni- and multivariable analyses were performed to test the association of DISH with RSP. RESULTS: DISH was present in 236 subjects (13.2%). RSP was twice as common in participants with DISH (n = 90/236, 38.1%) compared to those without DISH (n = 301/1548, 19.4%; p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, DISH was significantly associated with RSP (OR 1.78; 95% CI 1.22-2.60; p = 0.003) after adjusting for potential confounders. The RSP group with and without DISH had significantly worse spirometry, dyspnea, St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire score, BODE index (Body mass index, airflow Obstruction, Dyspnea and Exercise capacity), and Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 questionnaire score. CONCLUSION: In heavy smokers with an FEV1/FVC ratio > 0.70, DISH is associated with RSP after adjustment for intrinsic and extrinsic causes of restrictive lung function.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a common incidental finding on medical imaging and often thought to be benign. Our objective was to investigate whether DISH is associated with coronary artery disease as measured with the coronary artery calcification (CAC) score in a large cohort of current and former smokers. METHODS: In a subset of subjects from the COPDGene study, DISH was scored by a minimum of two independent readers if there were four adjacent levels of flowing osteophytes and a third reader adjudicated discrepancies. CAC was calculated using a modified Agatston method. Associations of DISH with the presence and extent of CAC were analyzed with and without adjustment for COPD and known atherosclerotic risk factors, including age, sex, race, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, body mass index and smoking. RESULTS: DISH was present in 361 subjects (13.2%) from a total group of 2728. Median (interquartile range) Agatston was 81 (0-329) in DISH subjects compared to 0 (0-94 in subjects without DISH (p < 0.001). DISH prevalence was 8.8% in CAC = 0, 12.8% in CAC1-100, 20.0% in CAC100-400 and 24.7% in CAC.400. Subjects with DISH had a significantly higher risk of having coronary artery calcifications; OR [CI95%] 1.37[1.05-1.78] (p=0.019) after correction for age, gender, race, COPD and atherosclerotic risk factors. CONCLUSIONS: Subjects with DISH, a common musculoskeletal disorder involving bone formation anterior to the spine, have an increased burden of coronary artery disease, and therefore DISH may be a more relevant incidental finding than commonly thought.
