Liver metastases - An unusual cause of portal hypertension: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionPortal hypertension is a rare complication of liver metastases. The study highlights that clinician should be aware of conditions mimicking cirrhosis with similar clinical presentation and imaging findings.Case presentationWe present the case of a 29-year-old non-alcoholic lady who presented to our hospital with a history of two months of progressive, painless abdominal distension and progressively increasing yellowish discoloration of the eyes. Physical examination, laboratory investigations, and imaging tests led to a diagnosis of multiple metastases from breast carcinoma to the liver leading to portal hypertension after exclusion of other causes of portal hypertension. However, after three weeks of presentation to the hospital, the patient died before any therapeutic measures were initiated to address breast carcinoma.Clinical discussionLiver metastasis from primary breast carcinoma rarely presents with clinical symptoms of portal hypertension. Although portal hypertension secondary to pseudocirrhosis, predominantly linked to ongoing chemotherapy for known cancers, has been previously described in case studies, our case had an unusual presentation leading to diagnostic uncertainty.ConclusionOur case highlights the rare cause of liver metastasis secondary to breast carcinoma, which presented as portal hypertension.

Unusual Presentation of a Penetrating Aortic Arch Injury.

Project description:A 27-year-old man was admitted with a penetrating injury at the mid-manubrium. Computed tomographic (CT) angiography showed a filling defect in the aortic arch. This was evaluated as a sign of injury and the patient underwent an emergency operation. No active bleeding or clot was found in the mediastinum during the operation. The laceration point was between the innominate and the left carotid artery posteriorly. The injury was approached using hypothermic circulatory arrest. Aortotomy and exploration showed a 2-cm-long full-thickness aortic injury with an overlying clot. A filling defect on angiography as a sign of a penetrating arch injury has never been reported previously, but was the main pathological finding on CT angiography in our case. The aorta is a high-pressure system and injuries to it should be treated aggressively.
