Article Abstract
We report a case of a patient who developed abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) after cesarean section, leading to cardiopulmonary arrest, but was saved without serious sequelae. The patient, 32 years old, gravida 1, para 0, developed hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) at 27 weeks' gestation, with fetal growth restriction and elevated liver enzymes, and underwent emergency cesarean section at 30 weeks' gestation. On postoperative day 1, persistent bleeding from the uterine cesarean section scar to the abdominal cavity was observed, and uterine artery embolization stopped the bleeding. On the second postoperative day, the patient experienced increased abdominal distention, leading to cardiopulmonary arrest shortly after computed tomography (CT) imaging. Based on the imaging findings, the patient was suspected to have ACS, and emergency abdominal decompression was performed. CT findings such as narrowing of the inferior vena cava, elevation of the diaphragm, and distention of the extra-abdominal venous system were useful in the diagnosis of ACS.

Geometric Aging of the Thoracic Aorta: Insights From 2 Large Cohorts.
Hypertension
September 2025
Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia (C.B., H.T., J.A.C.).
Background: Aortic structural degeneration occurs with aging; however, 3-dimensional geometric remodeling has not been well characterized in large populations.
Methods: We segmented the thoracic aorta from magnetic resonance images of 56 164 UKB (UK Biobank) participants and computed tomography images of 9417 PMBB (Penn Medicine Biobank) participants. We quantified structural measurements of elongation, dilation, tortuosity, and curvature across the thoracic aorta.
Factors influencing diagnostic yield and complication risk in computed tomography fluoroscopy-guided lung biopsies: a 10-year single-center study.

LMU University Hospital, LMU Munich, Department of Radiology, Munich, Germany.
Purpose: Computed tomography fluoroscopy (CTF)-guided biopsy is an established technique for sampling pulmonary lesions, particularly with the growing prevalence of lung nodule screening programs. This study investigated procedural and lesion-related factors affecting success and complication rates in routine CTF-guided lung core-needle biopsies at a tertiary center.
Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous CTF-guided lung biopsies over a 10-year period (2007-2016) were retrospectively analyzed.
[Traumatic pulmonary pseudocyst].

Traumatic pulmonary pseudocysts (TPPs) are rare but clinically relevant complications of thoracic trauma, often misdiagnosed due to their non-specific presentation and resemblance to other cavitary pulmonary lesions. We report the case of a 26-year-old male presenting with delayed symptoms following a fall, ultimately diagnosed with multiple TPPs via thoracic CT scan. The patient experienced a favourable evolution with conservative management, including aerosolized tranexamic acid for minor hemoptysis.

Radical esophagectomy remains the cornerstone of curative treatment for esophageal cancer, but is frequently complicated by postoperative events, most notably anastomotic leakage. Anastomotic leakage, occurring in up to 30% of cases, is multifactorial in origin and significantly increases morbidity and mortality. This review aims to summarize current management strategies, highlight emerging therapies, and identify persistent clinical challenges related to this complication.

BACKGROUND Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults, often diagnosed late in resource-limited settings. The diagnosis is made through a combination of clinical ophthalmologic examination, B-mode ultrasound, and histopathological study. This report details a case of a 67-year-old woman with progressive vision loss and ocular pain due to an inferomedial uveal melanoma to highlight therapeutic limitations from delayed diagnosis.
