[source] Antenatal diagnosis of a Morgagni hernia in the second trimesterJOURNAL OF CLINICAL ULTRASOUND, Issue 2 2008Krishan Kumar Jain MD Abstract Morgagni hernia is an uncommon type of congenital hernia that is rarely diagnosed antenatally. Herniation of the liver into the fluid-filled pericardial sac resulting in a thoracic mass is a particularly rare form of Morgagni hernia; only 3 cases have been reported in the literature, all with a diagnosis made at 32 weeks' gestation or later. We report a case of Morgagni hernia diagnosed on antenatal sonography at 24 weeks' gestation. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Ben-Amotz An intrathoracic mass was discovered as an incidental finding in a 14-year-old, spayed, female Rottweiler cross during evaluation of urinary incontinence. Computed tomography suggested a pericardial or pleural location and high adipose content of the mass. The mass was removed via lateral thoracotomy with partial pericardectomy and was diagnosed as a pericardial lipoma. The dog recovered well, and there was no evidence of recurrence approximately one year later. Adipose tumours of the heart and its associated structures are rare in dogs and have been associated with both successful and fatal outcomes.

Navarro MD Abstract We describe a case of right thoracic ectopic kidney in a 13-month-old boy with trisomy 21. We think an intrathoracic kidney should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a thoracic mass. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2005; 40:173,174. © 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc. [source] Unresponsive asystolic cardiac arrest responding to external cardiac pacing in a patient with phaeochromocytomaANAESTHESIA, Issue 8 2007M. J. Taylor Summary An anaesthetised 48-year-old woman became haemodynamically unstable following biopsy of a thoracic mass suggesting a diagnosis of a thoracic phaeochromocytoma. Surgery was postponed to allow confirmatory investigations and pre-operative adrenoceptor blockade with phenoxybenzamine and labetalol. Nine days later, following resection of her phaeochromocytoma, she suffered an intra-operative asystolic cardiac arrest which was unresponsive to standard resuscitation protocols and required external cardiac pacing. We discuss the issues involved and suggest that the competitive ,1 adrenoceptor antagonist doxazosin may be preferable to the covalently bound mixed alpha adrenoceptor antagonist phenoxybenzamine in the pre-operative preparation of patients with phaeochromocytoma.
