It is a condition that should be considered in any patient with an autoimmune disease presenting unexplained dyspnea. This syndrome is characterized by reduced lung volumes, elevation of the diaphragm, and restrictive physiology without significant parenchymal involvement. The article emphasizes the crucial role of thoracic CT in the diagnosis of the shrinking lung syndrome. Thoracic CT plays an essential role in identifying characteristic radiological signs such as pulmonary atelectasis and elevation of the diaphragmatic domes. These specific radiological features significantly contribute to confirming the diagnosis by excluding other potential causes of dyspnea, notably pulmonary embolism.","PeriodicalId":21448,"journal":{"name":"Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports","volume":" 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141127376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A coloanal anastomosis is performed through a sleeve of rectal muscularis after a two-stage mucosectomy. In the first stage, the colonic tube is exteriorised through the anal canal, and a few days later a direct coloanal anastomosis is performed in the second stage. This is a salvage operation and its results are not well documented in the literature. This is a study of three (03) consecutive patients, hospitalised and operated on using the Babcock or Soave Baulieux technique at the Department of Visceral Surgery A of the Hassan II University Hospital in Fez, Morocco. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the indications, operative results, postoperative morbidity and mortality, and long-term functional results. Our study concerns three (03) patients with colorectal cancer. In 66.7% of cases, the decision to perform the Soave Baulieux technique was taken preoperatively to avoid other complications related to the low colorectal anastomosis. After the operation, 66.7% of patients had a simple post-operative course and only one patient (33.3%) was re-operated after a complication (necrosis of the anastomosis from the distal segment to the anus). Only one patient had a permanent stoma.

Immobilization and progressive physiotherapy led to satisfactory outcomes, with restored range of motion and resolution of symptoms.
