No previous studies have focused on postoperative fat malabsorption in children with choledochal cyst (CC) who undergo cyst excision and Roux-en-Y (RY) hepatico-jejunostomy (HJ), a combination of procedures that can lead to the non-physiological mixture of food and bile juice. To examine the effect
The DBA/2FG-pcy strain of mouse has been developed as an animal model for adult polycystic kidney disease and we have determined the effects of feeding an n-3 fatty acid-enriched diet on kidney morphology and the fatty acid compositions of the constituent phospholipid and triglyceride fractions in
The rhino mouse (hr(rh)hr(rh)) is a mutant strain characterized by a wrinkled and hairless skin with epidermal utriculi (pseudocomedones) and dermal cysts. The epidermal cysts have been extensively studied. The present work focused on the dermal cysts. By electron microscopy it was found that they
The availability and use of abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography for diagnostic purposes has led to frequent detection of asymptomatic renal cysts. Recent evidence suggests their association with hypertension. The aim of our study was to evaluate the presence of simple renal cysts in
Rabbits develop a toxic reaction similar to endotoxemia following inoculation with a Sarcocystis cruzi cyst extract. To analyze the pathophysiology of the reaction, serum tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), nitric oxide (NO) and lipid-lipoprotein profiles were investigated in rabbits given the
BACKGROUND
Cervical thoracic duct cysts are a rare anomaly.
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of cervical thoracic duct cyst, and perform a literature review.
METHODS
A 78-year-old female, with a one-year history of a left-sided asymptomatic supraclavicular cystic mass. Computerized tomography revealed a
We report a 40-year-old woman with retroperitoneal multiple cystic lymphangioma. Multiple cystic lesions were found on both sides of the aorta in the retroperitoneal and right pelvic spaces. These thin-walled cysts gradually increased in size leading to left hydronephrosis and dilatation of the
Ultrasonographically-guided renal cyst puncture was done in 128 patients on outpatient basis. Cortical renal cysts were seen in both male and female patients in an equal ratio. Mean age was 59.6 years. Complication rate of percutaneous puncture was low. Only twice transient haematuria was observed,
Cysts originating from cervical lymphatic ducts are very rare affections. However, they play an important role in the differential diagnosis of supraclavicular masses. The aetiology remains unclear. Practically all cases arise from the thoracic duct; those affecting the right lymphatic BACKGROUND
Bilateral temporal lobe agenesis/hypogenesis along with middle cranial fossa arachnoid cysts (ACs) is extremely rare, and very few cases have been reported in the literature.
METHODS
We present the case of 2-year-old female presenting with chief complaints of headache, vomiting, and
Cysts of the thoracic duct are rare. We report a case of a cervical thoracic duct cyst and review 29 thoracic duct cysts reported previously (19 mediastinal, 9 cervical, and 1 abdominal). The mean age of the patients was 47.6 years (range 17 to 86 years). Fourteen (46.7%) of the patients were
The presence of chylous fluid with high triglycerides levels on endoscopic ultrasound- (EUS-) guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) is very pathognomonic for the diagnosis of cystic lymphangiomas of the pancreas. In our case report the puncture of the pancreatic cyst showed a typical milky fluid
In patients with jaw cysts, cyst content and blood serum are examined by means of thin section chromatography with regard to their contents of cholesterol, free fatty acids, triglycerides and cholesterol esters. The increase in lipid content found in the cyst is primarily due to the increase in free
Compared with a control group, cholesterol and triglyceride values are significantly elevated (chi2 = 14.52 and 21.65) in patients with odontogenous cysts. No statistically significant difference could be established in terms of the enzyme work-up (lipase). No statistically significant differences
A patient referred to us for recurrent chest wall gouty tophus, but who was determined to actually have a chylous cyst, is described herein. Chylous cysts of the neck or chest wall can be caused by thoracic duct injury. Chyle contains 4-40 gm/liter of lipids, mostly triglycerides, and these can form
