Treatment of Cavernous Transformation of Portal Vein Caused by Hepatic Cystic Echinococcosis Using Ex Vivo Liver Resection and Autotransplantation.

BACKGROUND Hepatic cystic echinococcosis (HCE) is a frequently overlooked parasitic liver disease, for which the commonly recommended treatment is radical resection. However, this approach is often associated with severe comorbidities such as HBV/HCV, cirrhosis, and hepatic carcinoma, among others. CASE REPORT In this report, we present a case successfully managed by ex vivo liver resection and autologous liver transplantation (ELRA). In the described case, ex vivo resection was not feasible due to recurrent lesions and infections invading the portal vein, which resulted in portal vein cavernous transformation. CONCLUSIONS Through this paper, we aim to detail the treatment process, showcasing the feasibility and advantages of ELRA. Additionally, we propose a novel approach for the treatment of this disease, while emphasizing the importance of radical resection surgery to prevent long-term complications.

The Value of Multi-slice Spiral CT in Diagnosing Laryngocarcinoma in Early Stage / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To investigate the value of multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT) in diagnosis of laryngocarcinoma in early stage.Methods MSCT data of 28 patients with laryngocarcinoma confirmed pathologically were analyzed retrospectively.Images quality was evaluated and the results obtained with various windows and CT virtual laryngoscopy (CTVL) were compared.Results 20 cases(69%) could be displayed with conventional soft tissue windows,24(81%) could be demonstrated with lung windows and 27(93%) could be demonstrated with CTVL.Conclusion MSCT can effectively demonstrate laryngocarcinoma,and can be applied routinely in examination of laryngocarcinoma.
