Mycotic pulmonary artery aneurysms are rare but potentially fatal complications of infective endocarditis. Three mycotic aneurysms developed in a 22-year-old female patient who had a history of ...intravenous drug use. She suffered from Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia and infective endocarditis. The patient was managed conservatively with antibiotics. She did not have hemoptysis during a prolonged hospital stay. Several multislice computed tomography examinations were performed to follow these aneurysms over a period of 19 months. The 2 smaller aneurysms had resolved by 9 weeks postdevelopment. The largest aneurysm was stable at 9 weeks and was smaller at 19 months, but it had not yet completely resolved. The literature on this rare condition was reviewed and its prognosis and management were discussed.
The authors present a case of congenital pupillary-iris-lens membrane with goniodysgenesis, a unilateral, sporadic, and congenital anomaly with the presence of a vascularized pupillary membrane on ...the iris surface that further adheres to the posterior embryotoxon. Early diagnosis and treatment is vital to prevent complications such as amblyopia and glaucoma.
