Quiste del canal de Nuck, a propósito de un caso / Canal of Nuck cyst; a case report

El descenso de estructuras inicialmente intraabdominales hacia la región inguinal arrastra consigo una evaginación de peritoneo parietal: el canal de Nuck. Su obliteración incompleta permitirá el paso de líquido o estructuras abdominales originando un hidrocele de dicho canal o hernias inguinales indirectas. El quiste del canal de Nuck se presenta como una masa fluctuante, elástica y no reductible, ecográficamente quística, bien delimitada, de pared ecogénica fina y contenido anecoico, sin señal Doppler color. El diagnóstico diferencial incluye hernias, adenomegalias, enfermedad vascular, tumoral, etc. Aunque el diagnóstico definitivo es histopatológico, la ecografía es una técnica accesible, eficiente y fiable, que permite el estudio dinámico y en tiempo real

The descent of initially intra-abdominal structures towards the inguinal region leads to an evagination of the parietal peritoneum, and is called the canal of Nuck. Its incomplete obliteration will allow the passage of liquid or abdominal structures, leading to a hydrocele of the said canal or indirect inguinal hernias. The canal of Nuck cyst appears as a fluctuating, elastic and non-reducible mass, cystic in the ultrasound, and well-defined with a thin echogenic wall and an anechoic content, with no colour Doppler signal. The differential diagnosis includes hernias, adenomegalies, vascular pathology, and tumours. Although the definitive diagnosis is histopathological, ultrasound is an accessible, efficient and reliable technique, which allows dynamic and real-time study

Dolor torácico y shock secundarios a perforación espontánea de esófago: síndrome de Boerhaave.

La perforación esofágica es la más letal de todas las perforaciones del aparato digestivo. Se presenta el caso de un varón de 65 años que acude a urgencias por un cuadro clínico de dolor torácico, vómitos e hipotensión. Se le realizó tomografía computarizada por sospecha de síndrome aórtico agudo, con hallazgos sugerentes de perforación esofágica. El síndrome de Boerhaave consiste en la rotura longitudinal del esófago sobre una pared macroscópicamente sana. Su tratamiento definitivo se realiza con cirugía durante las primeras 24 horas. El síndrome de Boerhaave debe considerarse como complicación posible en los pacientes con dolor epigástrico y vómitos, ya que es una emergencia quirúrgica con alta morbimortalidad.Esophageal perforation is the most lethal of all perforations of the digestive system. 65-year-old male who goes to the emergency department due to clinical symptoms of chest pain, vomiting and hypotension, who underwent CT scan for suspected acute aortic syndrome, with suggestive findings of esophageal perforation. Boerhaave syndrome consists of the longitudinal rupture of the esophagus on a macroscopically healthy wall. Its definitive treatment is performed with surgery during the first 24 hours. Boerhaave syndrome should be considered as a possible complication in patients with epigastric pain and vomiting, as it is a surgical emergency with high morbidity and mortality.

Gastrointestinal bleeding due to a primary aortoenteric fistula.

We present the case of a 80 years-old male patient who underwent a CT angiogram due to hematemesis and hypovolemic shock. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a large clot that closed the antrum and abundant red blood in the pyloric-antrum region. Sclerosis was performed blindly and the bleeding origin was not identified and the success of the sclerosis could not be evaluated. A primary aorta-duodenal fistula was observed by CT angiography, which was treated with an endograft and femoro-femoral bypass. The patient was discharged 14 days after admission.

Aneurysm of the hepatic artery caused by median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS).

We present the case of a 74-year-old man, with a history of residual schizophrenia, who underwent abdominal-pelvic CT with intravenous contrast, due to abdominal acute pain, that showed a stenosis at the origin of the celiac trunk and a large aneurysm of the hepatic artery, secondary to a mediam arcuate ligament syndrome, of the diaphragm was observed.

Hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma: contribution of a new case.

In relation to the article published by Ortiz S et al. (1), we have recently seen a 37-year-old female who presented to the Emergency Department with pain in right hypochondrium and a mild increase in transaminase levels. An ultrasound was performed that showed a large 13-cm tumor in the right hepatic lobe, which was heterogeneous with hyperechogenic and anechoic areas.
