Case Reports
[Post-traumatic intrasplenic arteriovenous fistula in a child. Spontaneous regression].
We report on an 11-year-old boy who developed splenic arteriovenous fistula resulting from blunt abdominal trauma. This fistula disappeared spontaneously after 8 months of follow-up without any complication.

Case Reports
[Bladder herniation in a inguinal-scrotal hernia complicated by acute renal insufficiency].
We report one case of massive inguino-scrotal bladder herniation which was responsible for an acute obstructive renal insufficiency. The different types of bladder hernias and their anatomic factors are described. The clinical-radiological findings and surgical management are discussed.

Comparative Study
[MRI cholangiography with rapid spin-echo technique: prospective evaluation of 20 patients].
To evaluate a MR cholangiographic technique using a non breath-hold fast spin-echo technique in patients with suspected bile duct obstruction. ⋯ MR cholangiography using a non breath-hold fast spin-echo technique depicts bile duct dilatation with a degree of accuracy comparable to that achieved with endoscopic examination. In the absence of bile duct dilatation, small stones of the main bile duct may be undetected with MR cholangiography.

Fifty files were evaluated to determine the normal anatomy of the cranial nerves. All the cranial nerves were studied including the labyrinth, in different planes with a 3DFT-CISS imaging technique. The 3DFT-CISS is especially interesting to study cranial nerves because of the excellent contrast with CSF-fluid and the possibility of thin sections. It might be essential for the diagnosis of neuralgia and cranial nerves paralysis.

Case Reports
[Aortocaval fistula. Diagnosis using spiral x-ray computed tomography with 2D and 3D reconstructions].
We report a case of arteriovenous fistula due to spontaneous rupture of an aortic aneurysm into the inferior vena cava. This is a rare complication of atheromatous aneurysm, often difficult to diagnose as the clinical presentation may be obscure. Although aortography is the reference diagnostic investigation, spiral CT acquisition with 3D and 2D reformation allowed visualization of the arteriovenous communication and provided an accurate diagnosis.
