Gallbladder disease in children today is being diagnosed increasingly because of better awareness of its existence and of improved diagnostic capability. A case is presented to describe an unusual pathologic variant termed "acute hydrops" of the gallbladder. This entity occurs specifically in
Acute hydrops of the gallbladder (AHGB) is a rare paediatric disease being diagnosed with increased frequency due to its association with other illnesses and the availability of ultrasonography. The symptoms and signs of AHGB include abdominal pain, vomiting, abdominal mass and/or tenderness. As
This article describes a prenatal ultrasonographic finding of an infarcted intestinal volvulus. Ultrasonography showed polyhydramnios, multiple dilated intestinal loops, increased transverse abdominal area, and ascites. After cesarean section due to premature rupture of membranes and fetal distress,
Recently we treated three patients with gallbladder volvulus within a short period. All three patients were examined preoperatively using computed tomography (CT). The first two cases were not diagnosed accurately before laparotomy. A precise diagnosis was made for the third one prior to surgery,
Of 57 horses with strangulating volvulus of the ascending colon, 42 were mares (including 21 postparturient mares), 8 were stallions, and 7 were geldings. Volvulus occurred most frequently in the summer (n = 24) and spring (n = 17). Pain was evaluated as severe in 41 horses, moderate in 9, and mild
OBJECTIVE
To identify the incidence of clinically significant findings on preoperative thoracic radiographs in dogs with gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) and to determine if those findings are associated with survival.
METHODS
Retrospective study from 2000 to 2010.
METHODS
Urban university small
Laparoscopic appendectomies are routinely performed using linear staplers. Few case reports have discussed complications from free intraperitoneal staples after appendectomy. We present the first case of a volvulus caused by a free staple that subsequently required bowel OBJECTIVE
To compare the effectiveness of tube sigmoidostomy and sigmoidopexy as effective treatment options for patients with acute uncomplicated sigmoid volvulus.
METHODS
The records of 72 patients with acute uncomplicated sigmoid volvulus with obstruction who were treated by tube sigmoidostomy
Complete small intestinal volvulus is a rare entity in adults, unlike partial intestinal volvulus. Although prompt surgical intervention is the mainstay of treatment, attention should also be paid to recovery of intestinal function postoperatively. Ignoring this issue during the This 3 year prospective study evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of abdominal ultrasonography and color Doppler ultrasonography in 31 neonates with suspected malrotation or malrotation with volvulus. Water instillation was used to detect duodenal dilatation, edema, and malrotated bowels.
To elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms involved in onchocercal sclerosing keratitis in humans, we developed a model of onchocercal interstitial keratitis in guinea pigs. Onchocerca volvulus antigens injected intrastromally into corneas of preimmunized Hartley guinea pigs induced an intense stromal
