[Volvulus of the small intestine caused by mesenteric lipoma].

ABSTRACT: We report the case of a 7-year old girl presenting with sub-occlusive syndrome associated with acute paroxysmal abdominal pain at the level of the upper abdomen, vomiting and no evacuation of faeces. Physical examination showed discomfort with palpation of the upper abdomen. Abdominal ultrasound showed poorly limited intraperitoneal tissue formation without vascular features on doppler, exercising a mass effect on the neighborhood structures; mesenteric vessels were in their normal position. This mass on CT scan scorresponded to a well limited lipomatous formation exercising a mass effect on the caecum associated with volvulus of the small intestine. The diagnosis of volvulus of the small intestine caused by mesenteric lipoma was retained. Surgical exploration confirmed this diagnosis. The patient underwent unrolling of the small intestine and lipoma enucleation. The postoperative course was uneventful after a follow-up of 6 months. Anatomo-pathological examination confirmed the lipomateuse nature of the mass.

Giant Adult Mesenteric Lipoma: A Rare Cause of Chronic Abdominal Distention and Discomfort.

Project description:Solitary or multiple lipomas are considered common tumors that can occur anywhere in the body; however, mesenteric lipoma is a rare entity that is well known to present with signs and symptoms of small bowel volvulus. Hereby, we present a case of a 54-year-old male patient with multiple comorbidities who was suffering from chronic abdominal discomfort and gradual increase of his abdominal distention over many years without seeking any medical attention. The patient was seen by a general practitioner after complaining of an inflated abdomen, as he described his condition. After several imaging studies, he was diagnosed with one of the largest mesenteric lipomas in the literature. Mesenteric lipoma should be present in the differential diagnosis of any abdominal tumor. Magnetic resonance imaging plays a major role in differentiating benign from malignant lipomas.

Abdominal Computed Tomography with a Twist: The 'Whirl Sign' for Mesenteric Volvulus.

Project description:Case presentationA 55-year-old woman with a history of end-stage renal disease, peripheral vascular disease, and multiple prior abdominal surgeries presented to the emergency department with three days of diffuse, severe, abdominal pain with accompanying nausea, emesis, and food intolerance. A computed tomography (CT) of her abdomen demonstrated a "whirl" of small bowel and mesenteric vessels, raising suspicion for mesenteric volvulus and resultant small bowel obstruction.DiscussionMesenteric volvulus is a low incidence, high mortality condition; therefore, early recognition and operative intervention are critical. Patients with a "whirl sign" on CT are more likely to require surgical intervention for their small bowel obstruction.

Small bowel volvulus around caesarian section scar adhesions.

Project description:Small bowel obstruction secondary to adhesions is a recognized complication of Caesarian section. However, obstruction due to small bowel volvulus caused by adhesions at the Caesarian-section scar has not been reported. We report such a case identified on computed tomography. We review the literature on small bowel volvulus in pregnant patients and discuss the computed tomography findings.

Dantrolene Prevents the Lymphostasis Caused by Doxorubicin in the Rat Mesenteric Circulation.

Project description:Background and Purpose: Doxorubicin (DOX) is a risk factor for arm lymphedema in breast cancer patients. We reported that DOX opens ryanodine receptors (RYRs) to enact "calcium leak," which disrupts the rhythmic contractions of lymph vessels (LVs) to attenuate lymph flow. Here, we evaluated whether dantrolene, a clinically available RYR1 subtype antagonist, prevents the detrimental effects of DOX on lymphatic function. Experimental Approach: Isolated rat mesenteric LVs were cannulated, pressurized (4-5 mm Hg) and equilibrated in physiological salt solution and Fura-2AM. Video microscopy recorded changes in diameter and Fura-2AM fluorescence tracked cytosolic free calcium ([Ca2+ i]). High-speed in vivo microscopy assessed mesenteric lymph flow in anesthetized rats. Flow cytometry evaluated RYR1 expression in freshly isolated mesenteric lymphatic muscle cells (LMCs). Key Results: DOX (10 μmol/L) increased resting [Ca2+ i] by 17.5 ± 3.7% in isolated LVs (n = 11). The rise in [Ca2+ i] was prevented by dantrolene (3 μmol/L; n = 10). A single rapid infusion of DOX (10 mg/kg i.v.) reduced positive volumetric lymph flow to 29.7 ± 10.8% (n = 7) of baseline in mesenteric LVs in vivo. In contrast, flow in LVs superfused with dantrolene (10 μmol/L) only decreased to 76.3 ± 14.0% (n = 7) of baseline in response to DOX infusion. Subsequently, expression of the RYR1 subtype protein as the presumed dantrolene binding site was confirm in isolated mesenteric LMCs by flow cytometry. Conclusion and Implications: We conclude that dantrolene attenuates the acute impairment of lymph flow by DOX and suggest that its prophylactic use in patients subjected to DOX chemotherapy may lower lymphedema risk.
