Hiatal hernia

Sliding hernia (axial type): 95%
- GEJ is aboe the diaphragm
- Reflux is more likely with larger hernias
- May be reducible in erect position
Paraesophageal hernia
- GEJ is in its normal position
- Part of the fundus is herniated above the diaphragm through esophageal hiatus and lies to the side of the esophagus
- Not reflux
- More prone to mechanical complications
- Usually nonreducible
*Gastric folds aboe diaphragm
*B line above diaphragm
*Schatzki's ring above diaphragm
%Esophagitis
%Duodenal ulcers

Gastric Volvulus
Gastric volvulus
- Mesenteroaxial type: from lesser to greater curve
- Organoaxial type: from cardia to pylorus
Cause
- Diaphragmatic defect
- Intestinal malrotation
- Wandering spleen
-Absence of gastrophrenic ligament and gastrosplenic ligament
Resolve spontaneously sometimes.

Pharynx, anatomy and disease
Lateral pharyngeal pouch: At the level of valleculae
Superior - hyoid bone, middle constrictor muscle
Posterior - stylopharyngeus muscle, superior cornu of the thyroid cartilage
Anterior - thyrohyoid muscle and membrane
5% aspiration
Lateral pharyngeal diverticula: from tonsillar fossa or region of the thyrohyoid membrane
Persistent pouches or saccular collections of the region of the thyrohyoid membrane

Von Hippel-Lindau Disorder
•Autosomal dominant disorder (Chroosome 3) with 1/35000-1/40000 incidence in America
•Most attacked in 2nd to 3rd decades
•M:F is about 1:1
Diagnostic Criteria
•> 1 hemangioblastoma of CNS
•1 hemangioblastoma + visceral manifestation
•1 manifestation + family history
Subclassification by NIH
•Type I: Renal + pancreatic cysts, high risk for RCC, no pheochromocytoma
•Type IIA: Pheochromocytoma, pancreatic islet cell tumor
•Type IIB: Pheochromocytoma + renal + pancreatic disease
Angiomatous lesions
- Retinal hemangioblastomas -> Von Hippel tumor
- CNS hemangioblastomas -> Lindau tumor
- Endolymphatic sac tumors
- Renal cell carcinoma - Pancreatic cysts and tumors
- Pheochromocytomas
- Epididymal cystadenomas

Groove pancreatitis




a form of segmental pancreatitis affecting the head of the pancreas, is localized within the "groove" between pancreas head, duodenum, and common bile duct. Differentiation between groove pancreatitis and pancreatic head carcinoma is often difficult.
Impact of protein plug over Santorini's duct may be the cause of groove pancreatitis
Image: a mass was detected in the head of the pancreas that involved the duodenum. Dynamic CT demonstrated a poorly enhancing lesion extending between the pancreatic head and the duodenum.

30% of lung cancer
Related to smoking
65% found in main, lobar, or segmental bronchi
Endobronchial mass
Bronchial obstruction
Infiltration of bronchial wall
Local invasion
Hilar mass
Atelectasis and consolidation common
30% solitary nodule or mass
Central necrosis and cavitation relatively common
Metastasis late
Relatively good prognosis

Cause repeated pneumonia
Chronic inflammation
Congential heart disease
Asthma
Cystic fibrosis
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia
Obstructive lesion
Cause repeated pneumonia
Atelectasis
cause: tumor (most SCC), TB, sarcoidosis, Post operative atelectasis. Large left atrium.
Types:
Resorption - Obstruction
Relaxation - Passive, Pleural effusion, pneumothroax
Adhesive - ARDS (decrease in surfatant production)
Cicatricial - Lung fibrosis
ex. right middle lobe syndrome
Discoid atelectasis: Emoblus, Penumonia, Inadequate inspiration Carcinoma
Segmental atelectasis
Sign
Double lesion sign - RUL and RML collapse
Shifting granuloma sign
Golden's S sign - RUL
Juxtaphrenic peak - UL
Luftsichel sign - LUL - Apical cap
Falt waist sign - LLL
Comet-tail sign - Rounded
Rounded atelectasis - Posterior lower lobe. often free pleural effusion with inflammation
