Description: This is my comanion case to the previously uploaded "smilie" case of the noncontrast phase of a noncon+contrast enhanced CT for aortic stent graft evaluation. Well, I thought, the smillie with shiny "glasses" needs also a friendly smile on its face... :-)

Description: 38-year-old woman... Most appropriate diagnosis???? A. Pericardial cyst B. Mediastinal abscess C. Bronchogenic cyst D. Bronchogenic carcinoma E. Cystic teratoma Cystic teratoma. CT shows a circumscribed, homogeneous, fluid-attenuation mass in the anterior mediastinum. Note the small lobulation to the medial margin and a hint of high attenuation around the medial margin. MRI with intravenous contrast shows enhancement of the capsule and a small enhancing nodule medially. Both bronchogenic and pericardial cysts will typically have no demonstrable capsule and show no contrast enhancement. Bronchogenic carcinoma and mediastinal abscess will typically have a larger soft tissue component and changes in the adjacent lung. Other diagnoses to consider, which were not offered as options, are cystic thymoma and cystic lymphoma.

Description: History of recent cardiac catheterization. 1. What do you see - describe the significant finding -> Arteriogram with confined area of abnormal contrast at the level of proximal common femoral artery (puncture site). Also noticed is complete contrast stop distal to this level. 2. What is the diagnosis? Iatrogenic CFA pseudoaneurysm with CFA occlusion 3. What is the underlying cause? The pseudoaneurysm is related to the recent catheterization and most likely because too few pressure was applied on the puncture site after the procedure.
