Case report: MR findings of a retained surgical sponge. 1998

MR Center, Tenri Hospital, Nara, Japan.

We describe here a case in which a retained surgical sponge progressed into the perirenal space and posterior pararenal space from the pelvic cavity. Sonography, CT, and T1-weighted MR image analyses could not show clearly the characteristic structure of the surgical sponge, but T2-weighted MR imaging showed a folded fabric appearance within the cystic mass. Surgical findings confirmed a lobulated cystic mass containing yellowish fluid and a surgical sponge.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.
