Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1. Axial CT image. White arrows indicate embolized polymethylmethacrylate in the azygos system and pulmonary arteries.
Figure 2
Figure 2. CT image reconstructed with three-dimensional maximum intensity projection in the sagittal oblique plane (A) and coronal plane (B). White arrows indicate high attenuation material corresponding to polymethylmethacrylate in the paravertebral venous plexus, extending into the hemiazygos vein and embolized to pulmonary vessels.
Figura 1
Figura 1. TC axial. As setas brancas indicam o polimetilmetacrilato embolizado no sistema ázigos e nas artérias pulmonares.
Figura 2
Figura 2. TC reconstruída com projeção de intensidade máxima tridimensional no plano oblíquo sagital (em A) e no plano coronal (em B). As setas brancas indicam material de alta atenuação, correspondente ao polimetilmetacrilato no plexo venoso paravertebral, estendendo-se dentro da veia hemiázigos e embolizado na direção dos vasos pulmonares.
