  • Extensive Subcutaneous Emphysema as a Presentation of Ischemic Colitis
    Publication . Carvalho, AF; Branco, C; Leão, P; Antunes, C
    Introduction. Subcutaneous emphysema is usually benign and self-limited; however, it may be associated with a life-threating situation. Case Report. An elderly woman with progressive malaise with extensive subcutaneous emphysema (cervical to abdominal wall) was observed at the emergency department. Colonic perforation was diagnosed and the patient underwent surgery. Intraoperatively, necrosis and perforation of the sigmoid colon into the retroperitoneum were found and a Hartmann procedure was performed. Conclusion. Cervical and thoracic subcutaneous emphysema may be the first sign of intra-abdominal lesion.

  • Ileal intussusception due to a parasite egg: A case report.
    Publication . Pinto, JP; Cordeiro, A; Ferreira, AM; Antunes, C; Botelho, P; Rodrigues, AJ; Leão, P
    Ileal intussusception is the invagination of the small intestine within itself and accounts for 1% of cases of acute obstruction. However, physicians do not initially consider intussusception as a possible diagnosis of obstruction due to its rarity in adults. Herein, we report the case of a 22-year-old male who was admitted to the Emergency Department with continuous abdominal pain. Ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed an ileal intussusception. The patient underwent surgical removal of the segment of the small bowel. Unexpectedly, pathology revealed that the invagination occurred due to a parasite egg, with features suggestive of Schistosoma species. Schistosomiasis, although considered a parasitic disease in tropical countries, is not absent from Europe and though it is highly improbable, it may be responsible for cases of intussusception in adults.
