Article Abstract

"How to perform contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)" provides general advice on the use of ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) for clinical decision-making and reviews technical parameters for optimal CEUS performance. CEUS techniques vary between centers, therefore, experts from EFSUMB, WFUMB and from the CEUS LI-RADS working group created a discussion forum to standardize the CEUS examination technique according to published evidence and best personal experience. The goal is to standardise the use and administration of UCAs to facilitate correct diagnoses and ultimately to improve the management and outcomes of patients.

Background: Azygos vein aneurysm (AVA) is a rare thoracic pathology that is frequently misdiagnosed. While contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can delineate AVA location and size, these techniques lack the capability for dynamic real-time assessment of internal architecture.

Case Presentation: We present a highly unusual case of a 67-year-old woman who had an isolated azygos vein aneurysm presenting with dysphagia.

Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is predominantly observed in developing countries but remains relatively rare in developed countries. Therefore, if a clinician does not suspect TBM, its diagnosis may be delayed. Furthermore, drug-induced hepatotoxicity is common and can become severe during TBM treatment.

Bacterial meningitis and infectious cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) are both life-threatening central nervous system infections, often caused by sinusitis. While cerebrovascular complications are well-recognized in bacterial meningitis, their association with CST is rare. A 69-year-old man presented with a 19-day history of headache, followed by diplopia.

Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided biliary drainage has been reported as an alternative technique when transpapillary endoscopic biliary drainage fails. This case study describes a case of pseudoaneurysm, one of the complications unique to endoscopic ultrasonography-guided biliary drainage. An 87-year-old woman who underwent endoscopic ultrasonography-guided hepaticojejunostomy with a partially covered metallic stent developed hematochezia.

This report presents a case of solitary pulmonary metastasis from colon cancer, characterized by cystic airspaces, which can mimic a second primary lung cancer (LC). Preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography in a patient with colon cancer revealed a pulmonary micronodule with a cystic cavity in the right upper lobe. The patient subsequently underwent left-sided hemicolectomy followed by six cycles of chemotherapy.
