Brachial artery injury following opened elbow dislocation associated with accessory brachial artery: two rare entities in a 17-year -old girl: case report.

Elbow dislocations are the most frequently encountered after shoulder dislocations. In their vast majority, these injuries carry a good prognosis. Although, concomitant arterial injury is rare and make them more serious. In this paper, we report a case of a 17 year old woman with opened elbow dislocation with arterial injury associated to an artery variation: "accessory brachial artery".

Catastrophic hemorrhage of adrenal pheochromocytoma following thrombolysis for acute myocardial infarction: case report and literature review.

We describe here the case of a 62-year-old man with acute abdominal syndrome and severe hemorrhagic shock following successful thrombolysis for acute cardiac infarction. Emergency surgical exploration revealed extensive intraperitoneal and retroperitoneal hemorrhage resulting from the rupture of a large adrenal tumor. The diagnosis of pheochromocytoma was confirmed by histological findings. The patient died a few hours after surgery from multiorgan failure despite resuscitation attempts. This report discusses the diagnosis difficulties, treatment approach, and relevant literature.

Nous rapportons l'observation d'un patient âgé de 62 ans, qui présente un syndrome abdominal douloureux aigu associé à un choc hémorragique sévère au décours d'une thrombolyse pour infarctus du myocarde. L'exploration chirurgicale urgente objective une hémorragie extensive retro- et intra péritonéale secondaire à une rupture d'une masse surrénalienne. Le diagnostic de phéochromocytome a été confirmé par l'examen histologique de la pièce opératoire. L'évolution était rapidement fatale, aboutissant au décès du patient par défaillance multi-viscérale quelques heures en postopératoire. Seront discutés à travers cette observation et une revue de la littérature, les difficultés diagnostiques et de prise en charge de cette redoutable complication.

Marfan's syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder of connective tissue characterized by a large number of possible mutations and by heterogeneity of clinical presentation primarily in skeletal, ocular and cardiovascular organ systems. Cardiovascular complications of the disease are responsible for high mortality. The case of a 42-year-old patient with a progressive advanced abdominal aorta dilatation visualized on computed tomography images is presented. Pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of patients with Marfan's syndrome are also discussed.
