Imaging Characteristics

Increased use of Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in acute stroke has led to observations of early diffusion normalization in lesions thatinitially show diffusion slowing. The “renormalization” of DWI may be spontaneous or the result of thrombolytic therapy, thus, acuteslowing of diffusion is not necessarily an indicator of irreversible tissue damage. The perfusion-diffusion mismatch concept is attractiveas it assumes that DWI lesion size reflects the infarct core whilst the mismatch area reflects the penumbra. However, this concept maybe an oversimplification. This paper shows a case with Diffusion Lesion Reversal after successful neuroendovascular treatment andexcellent clinical outcome, and discuss the imaging characteristics associated with this phenomenon.

We present a 14-year-old boy with peritoneal epithelial malignant mesothelioma (PEMM). While pathology is required to make this diagnosis, radiology plays a crucial role throughout the clinical course of this disease. The key imaging characteristics of peritoneal mesothelioma have been previously well-described in the adult population, but there are rare reports in the pediatric population. This pediatric report highlights the multidimensional use of imaging in this disease, from the initial evaluation to therapeutic supplementation and subsequent follow-up.

ABSTRACT Lingual thyroid is a rare developmental abnormality characterized by the failure of the thyroid gland, or remnants, to descend from anywhere along its embryologic path of origin at the foramen cecum to its normal eutopic pretracheal position. Awareness of the anatomic course of the embryologic thyroid primordium, typical and atypical locations of ectopic thyroid tissue may aid in diagnosis. The reported incidence of lingual thyroid is 1 in 100,000, and it is more common in females, with a female to male ratio ranging between 3:1 and 7:1. Lingual thyroid located at the base of tongue often present with hypothyroidism, usually asymptomatic but may cause dysphonia, dysphagia, upper airway obstruction, and hemorrhage. In the current case report, we present the imaging characteristics of lingual thyroid occurring in a 12-year-old female patient. Partial endoscopic removal of lingual thyroid was performed, followed by substitutive exogenous thyroid hormone therapy. The purpose of this study is to discuss the radiological characteristics and therapeutic issues in the management of lingual thyroid. How to cite this article Kumar R, Bhargava A, Jaiswal G.

AbstractObjective:We report an extremely rare case of congenital cholesteatoma affecting the occipital bone.Methods:We present a case report, plus a review of the world literature on similar lesions.Results:This case report describes the presentation and treatment of a congenital cholesteatoma arising in an apparently unique location within the occipital bone, with no effect on middle-ear structure or function. The different imaging characteristics of this lesion are described and illustrated. The discussion centres on the differentiation of this lesion from intradiploic epidermoid cysts, more commonly described in the neurosurgical literature. The possible methods of pathogenesis are discussed, along with treatment suggestions.Conclusion:Congenital cholesteatomas and intradiploic epidermoid cysts are indistinguishable both histologically and radiologically, and would appear to be the same disease.

Initial Clinical Evaluation

Abstract Introduction: polyorchidism is an unusual pathology, about 200 cases in the world literature. Case report: we reported a case of polyorchidism in a 16-year-old male patient diagnosed by ultrasound and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. Discussion: most of the cases presented, there is a supernumerary testis, but there are reports on more than three, up to five testicles with supranumerical gonads on both sides of the scrotum. The diagnosis is usually performed in late puberty, incidentally, with a painless scrotal mass or at the emergency room, presenting a testicular torsion of the whole hemiscrotum or supernumerary testisalone, and the differential diagnosis should be made with epididymal cyst and spermatocele, besides other extra-testicular masses (hydroceles, varicoceles, lipomas, tumors.) and para-testicular masses (hernias, scrotal calculi). After the initial clinical evaluation, ultrasound is the first line subsidiary exam. Magnetic Resonance Imaging is very helpful, just in case the ultrasound diagnosis is uncertain. The supernumerary testishave the same Magnetic Resonance Imaging characteristics as the normal testes (intermediate signal intensity on T1- weighted images and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images).
