Medical observation: the authors report a case of post-traumatic duodenal rupture following a road traffic accident, diagnosed on computed tomography (CT) and treated surgically. Although rare, duodenal ruptures are an emergency for all radiologists. The anatomical complexity of the duodeno-pancreatic region and its proximity to vascular and mesenteric structures explain the rich semiology. Careful radiological analysis is essential to facilitate the surgical procedure.

They are rare, benign cystic lesions with a wide clinical spectrum, but headache is usually dominant. A large cyst may appear in conjunction with an intracranial hypertension syndrome. Additionally, they can induce obstructive hydrocephalus, resulting in rapid acute neurological decline and, in some cases, sudden death. In this study, our aim is to present the clinical manifestations and radiological features of a giant recurrent colloid cyst of the third ventricle by presenting a case of a 55-year-old female patient, reporting a 2-month history of progressively worsening intracranial hypertension syndrome. The focus is specifically placed on the importance of prompt diagnosis and management to prevent potential life-threatening complications. Minimally invasive modalities, like stereotactic cyst aspiration and neuroendoscopy, are now the preferred techniques of management but present a higher rate of recurrence. Awareness of this condition for early diagnosis and management is fundamental for a better prognosis and patient care.\u0000","PeriodicalId":269581,"journal":{"name":"Edorium Journal of Radiology","volume":"340 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140471060","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}

It originates in the nasal mucosa owing to fungal inoculation, then it spreads through paranasal sinuses and orbits to the brain and its vessels especially the cavernous sinus, leading to thrombotic complications including arterial thrombosis. Herein, we present a case of a 35-year-old male with poorly controlled diabetes who presented with decompensated diabetes, in whom the clinical examination finds subtle signs of orbital cellulitis. The patient subsequently had worsening necrotizing orbital cellulitis which required surgical drainage of the left ethmoid along with large spectrum antibiotic therapy; this was complicated by the development of meningo-encephalo-vasculitis as well as cavernous sinus and left internal carotid thrombosis.
