Utilidad de la resonancia magnética abdominopélvica en el diagnóstico de abscesos tuboováricos / Utility of abdominopelvic magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of tubo-ovarian abscesses

Se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente de 39 años con absceso tuboovárico diagnosticado por RM pélvica. Destacamos la importancia de esta técnica de imagen para diferenciarlos de otros procesos pélvicos, principalmente neoplásicos (AU)

We present the case of a 39-year-old woman with a tubo-ovarian abscess diagnosed by pelvic magnetic resonance imaging. We highlight the importance of this imaging technique in differentiating these abscesses from other pelvic processes, especially neoplasms (AU)

El osteoma en la mastoides, ¿un hallazgo incidental? / The mastoid osteoma, an incidental feature?

Los osteomas mastoideos son tumores óseos benignos que excepcionalmente aparecen en la mastoides, habiendo sido descritos 137 casos en la literatura actual. Suelen presentarse de un modo asintomático, aunque no siempre es así. Presentamos 3 casos de osteomas mastoideos: un osteoma pediculado con base de implantación en el antro mastoideo y con extensión hacia el canal ático antral, que coexistía con una otitis media colesteatomatosa, un osteoma mastoideo superficial asintomático y un osteoma sesil dependiente de la tabla interna de la escama del hueso temporal, en una paciente con un cuadro vertiginoso. Hacemos una revisión de esta rara entidad, y planteamos una posible asociación entre el osteoma mastoideo, el síndrome vertiginoso y la otitis media colesteatomatosa (AU)

Osteoma in the mastoid is a rare benign osteogenic tumour that has been described in literature in only 137 cases. It usually appears in asymptomatic patients, although a few cases are described associated with clinical manifestations. We report three cases of mastoid osteoma: a pedunculated osteoma in the aditus ad antrum (associated with a cholesteatoma), a superficial osteoma of the mastoid surface and a sessile osteoma that progressed to the temporal lobe (associated with vertigo). A brief review of this rare entity is presented and a possible association between mastoid osteoma, cholesteatoma otitis and vertigo is posed (AU)

Utilidad de la resonancia magnética abdominopélvica en el diagnóstico de la patología tubárica y sus causas / Utility of abdominopelvic magnetic resonance in the diagnosis of tuboovarian abscesses

Se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente de 39 años, con hidrosálpinx diagnosticado por resonancia magnética en el contexto de una enfermedad pélvica inflamatoria. Destacamos la importancia de esta técnica de imagen para diferenciarlo de otros procesos pélvicos, principalmente neoplásicos(AU)

We present the case of a 39 year old woman with hidrosálpinx diagnosed by pelvis magnetic resonance in the context of pelvic inflammatory disease. We note the importance of this imaging technique to differentiate it from other pelvic processes, especially neoplasms(AU)

Refractory hypertension in a young woman.

A 36-year-old woman was referred for the evaluation of refractory arterial hypertension with vasculorenal profile. Abdominal multislice computed tomography angiography (MSCT-angiography) was performed for further evaluation. Bilateral renal artery involvement was demonstrated with aneurysms, stenotic segments, and a string-of-beads-appearance in the right renal artery. We discuss the occurrence of fibromuscular dysplasia as a cause of refractory hypertension in young women and the increasing importance of MSCT studies for its diagnosis.
