The authors describe a case of pancreatico-pleural fistula that presented as recurrent pyogenic chest disease in a patient with underlying ethanol related pancreatic disease. The diagnosis was suspected, given the context of non-resolving chest sepsis despite repeated antibiotics in a patient with
The rapid development of therapy necessitates early diagnosis in all clinical spheres because the attainable result of the therapy depends on this. It is especially true in the case of cardial and cerebrovascular events.
OBJECTIVE
Since events in the thoracic cavity--life threatening or not--cause
OBJECTIVE
To determine the prognostic value of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with dipyridamole stress in patients with preexisting left bundle-branch block (LBBB) with or without chest pain.
METHODS
Seventy-six patients, mean age 53 +/- 10 years, with preexisting LBBB underwent
Chest pain is the initial symptom of many life-threatening disease processes. Pain may arise from any structure located in the thoracic cavity. Cardiac causes of chest pain usually have anginal symptoms. Noncardiac causes have a variety of chest pain characteristics. Diseases that require immediate
The perception and interpretation of pain in the thoracic cavity may be extremely variable. In this article the differential diagnosis of chest pain is reviewed with emphasis on the historical features that allow for a precise diagnosis. Beginning with the neural transmission of chest pain, the
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the hypothesis that persistence of apical contraction into diastole is linked to reduced myocardial perfusion and chest pain.
BACKGROUND
Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is defined by left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy predominantly of the apex. Hyperdynamic
We wanted to report our two cases of intrathoracic extrapulmonary hydatid cyst in pleural cavity due to its rarity. Our first case is a 24-year-old male patient who was admitted with a cystic mass lesion consistent with hydatid cyst which was incidentally detected in inferior lobe of the right lung
BACKGROUND
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is the most frequently diagnosed valvular disease, but its pathophysiology remains elusive. Its complete absence in 1,734 neonatal echocardiographic studies suggests that this may be an acquired rather than a congenital disease. We observed several patients
A 36-year-old woman under the treatment for neurosis stuck five sewing needles into her left anterior chest wall for the purpose of suicide. She was hospitalized with complaints of anterior chest pain and low-grade fever. Chest roentgenogram and computed tomogram showed two needles in the cardiac
We herein present an extremely rare case of a perforation of the ascending aorta with a hematoma extending into the left-side upper extrapleural cavity. A 62-year-old male with a sudden onset of severe chest pain was referred to our institution because of an abnormal shadow in the left-side upper
Thymic cysts (TCs) represent 1-2% of all mediastinal masses. To the best of our knowledge transudative effusion due to rupture of a TC into the pleural cavity, as it happened with our patient, has never been described before. The patient was admitted in 5th Department of Respiratory Medicine of
Multiple exostosis is associated with the autosomal dominant disorder and hereditary multiple exostoses (HMEs), are rarely growing around the ribs and the formation of a large lump into the thoracic cavity. It's generally agreed that when there are no symptoms present, a HME patient could either
We investigated 568 consecutive patients undergoing dobutamine stress echocardiography to elucidate the mechanism of left ventricular (LV) obliteration. Baseline clinical and echocardiographic variables were related to dobutamine-induced LV cavity obliteration defined as approximation of LV
A 43-year-old-woman who had sever anterior chest pain visited our hospital on April 3, 2000. A well-defined abnormal shadow was seen in the middle and lower field of the right lung on chest X-ray. Computed tomography showed a large fat density mass in the right pleural cavity with a septum enhanced
BACKGROUND
Chest pain in kidney transplant recipients can signify a life-threatening condition.
METHODS
A patient with polycystic kidney disease who underwent living donor kidney transplantation with open bilateral native nephrectomy developed acute substernal chest pain 10 days
