RESUMO

Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is present in 0.4% of live births and in 7% of patients with congenital heart disease. While there may be florid presentations of congestive heart failure in the neonatal period, the diagnosis during adulthood is often delayed. We encountered a 20-year-old woman who was discovered to be hypertensive on routine check-up. Following bilateral abnormal renal doppler sonography, MR angiogram revealed a short-segment stenosis of the descending thoracic aorta. Review of her chest radiograph showed a small aortic knuckle. This case highlights an unconventional algorithm in diagnosing aortic coarctation in adulthood.

RESUMO

AIM: To review computed tomography (CT), ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram (PTC) appearances and their diagnostic value in hepatic tuberculosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The imaging studies for 12 patients with biopsy-proven hepatic tuberculosis from January 2012 till March 2014 were reviewed retrospectively. These cases were confirmed via ultrasound-guided biopsy. RESULTS: The patients were aged 24-72 years. Four patients had parenchymal tuberculosis only and eight patients had mixed parenchymal and biliary duct involvement. The parenchymal tuberculosis patients showed poorly enhancing, hypodense nodules on CT with central calcification and adjacent dilated intrahepatic ducts. Most patients had multiple lesions except for two patients with a single lesion. The size of the lesions ranged from 0.5 to 6 cm. Seven patients with biliary duct involvement showed a hilar strictures involving the intrahepatic ducts and common bile duct. Nine of the patients showed hilar stricture with atrophy of the ipsilateral lobe of the liver and compensatory hypertrophy of the contralateral lobe. Hepatolithiasis was seen in five patients. Tuberculous lung involvement was seen in seven patients. CONCLUSION: The presence of calcified and hypodense nodules with biliary duct dilatation associated with lobar atrophy were the most consistent features of hepatic tuberculosis, especially in the presence of active lung disease.
