Ménétrier's disease diagnosed by enteroclysis CT: a case report and review of the literature.

This study reports a case of Ménétrier's disease (MD) in an adult who presented with epigastric pain and peripheric edema. We focused in particular on the imaging and diagnostic aspects of the presenting case as well as clinical, histologic, and therapeutic aspects. Computed tomography (CT) enteroclysis is a new imaging technique which combines enteroclysis and spiral multislice CT. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report on a MD in an adult patient diagnosed by CT Enteroclysis.

Cryptogenic stroke in hanging. A case report.

This paper reports the unique neuroimaging findings of a 37-year-old woman who attempted suicide by hanging. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case describing neuroimaging findings of unilateral lesions instead of the well-documented bilateral lesions after a hanging event. Computed tomography demonstrated a low density area in the right thalamus and no hemorrhage. 3.0 T Magnetic resonance revealed a hyperintense area on both T2-weighted and FLAIR images on the right thalamus. Diffusion weighted images demonstrated no area of diffusivity restriction. Another smaller lesion with the same signal characteristics was found in the left cerebellum. A second relevant point of this report is the observation that the most probable cause of the documented unilateral lesions was an ischemic-arterial event.
