Introduction. Acute renal infarction as a consequence of renal artery occlusion often goes unrecognized, mostly due to the non-specific clinical features. A quick diagnosis, ideally within three hours of presentation, is a key to renal function recovery. Case Outline. A 62-year-old male patient was admitted with a sudden abdominal pain, right flank pain and nausea. He had a diastolic hypertension at admission and his previous medical history showed atrial fibrillation. Initial clinical diagnosis was aortic dissection. Laboratory findings included elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and serum creatinine levels. There were no signs of aortic dissection or aneurismatic lesions registered during a multislice computed tomographic (MSCT) angiography. However, MSCT angiography demonstrated left ?upper? renal artery thrombosis and renal infarction - avascular area of the upper two thirds of the left kidney sharply demarcated from the surrounding parenchyma. Both kidneys excreted the contrast. Anticoagulant therapy was initiated, along with antiarrythmic and antihypertensive medications. The follow-up by computed tomography was performed after nine weeks, and it showed a partial revascularization of the previously affected area. Conclusion. Concomitant presence of flank/abdominal pain, an increased risk for thromboembolism and an elevated LDH suggested a possibility of renal infarction. MSCT angiography is a non-invasive and accurate method in the diagnosis of renal artery occlusion and the resulting renal infarction.

The Right

Background Previous studies have investigated patients’ treatment goals before starting a treatment for metastatic lung cancer. Data on the evaluation of treatment goals are lacking. Aim To determine if patients with metastatic lung cancer and their oncologists perceive the treatment goals they defined at the start of systemic treatment as achieved after treatment and if in hindsight they believe it was the right decision to start systemic therapy. Design and Participants A prospective multicenter study in 6 hospitals across the Netherlands between 2016 and 2018. Following systemic treatment, 146 patients with metastatic lung cancer and 23 oncologists completed a questionnaire on the achievement of their treatment goals and whether they made the right treatment decision. Additional interviews with 15 patients and 5 oncologists were conducted. Results According to patients and oncologists, treatment goals were achieved in 30% and 37% for ‘quality of life,’ 49% and 41% for ‘life prolongation,’ 26% and 44% for ‘decrease in tumor size,’ and 44% for ‘cure’, respectively. Most patients and oncologists, in hindsight, felt they had made the right decision to start treatment and also if they had not achieved their goals (72% and 93%). This was related to the feeling that they had to do ‘something.’ Conclusions Before deciding on treatment, the treatment options, including their benefits and side effects, and the goals patients have should be discussed. It is key that these discussions include not only systemic treatment but also palliative care as effective options for doing ‘something.’

✓ Results in 27 cases of intracranial surgery for metastatic lung cancer are evaluated with regard to both the quality and duration of survival; 56% of the patients lived more than 1 year, with the longest survivor still living 32 months after operation. The operative mortality was 26%. These data suggest that intracranial surgery is worthwhile in patients with lung cancer when the cerebral metastasis is either solitary or single.
