647 A Rare Case Report of Complete Heart Block and Transient Parkinsonism in a Child Secondary to Mycoplasma Pneumoniae With Normal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Abstract Background Management of postoperative chylothorax usually consists of nutritional regimens, pharmacological therapies such as octreotide, and surgical therapies such as ligation of thoracic duct, but a clear consensus is yet to be reached. Further, the variation of the thoracic duct makes chylothorax difficult to treat. This report describes a rare case of chylothorax with an aberrant thoracic duct that was successfully treated using focal pleurodesis through interventional radiology (IVR). Case presentation The patient was a 52-year-old man with chylothorax after a thoracoscopic oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer. With conventional therapy, such as thoracostomy tube, octreotide or fibrogammin, a decrease in the amount of chyle was not achieved. Therefore, we performed lymphangiography and pleurodesis through IVR. The patient appeared to have an aberrant thoracic duct, as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, after focal pleurodesis, the leak of chyle was diminished, and the patient was discharged 66 days after admission. Conclusions Chylothorax remains a difficult complication. Focal pleurodesis through IVR can be one of the options to treat chylothorax.

Histopathological Results

Lymphoma with hepatic involvement can present with three morphological patterns: diffuse infiltrative, nodular, and mixed infiltrative–nodular. However, lymphoma with periportal infiltrative hepatic involvement is rare. There have been a few reports of cases with this type of hepatic involvement including ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) findings. In this case report, we present CT, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and diffusion-weighted MRI findings together with the histopathological results for a patient with periportal hepatic lymphoma presenting with obstructive jaundice.

AbstractThe Kernohan-Woltman notch phenomenon is a paradoxical neurological manifestation consisting of a motor deficit ipsilateral to a primary brain injury. It has been observed in patients with brain tumors and with supratentorial hematomas. It is considered a false localizing neurological sign. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan has been the test of choice. The recognition of this phenomenon is important to prevent a surgical procedure on the opposite side of the lesion. The present case report describes a case of chronic subdural hematoma with a probable finding of the Kernohan-Woltman phenomenon, and it discusses its pathophysiology, imaging findings, treatment, and prognosis.

AbstractThe present study is a case report of vulvar lipoma. The vulva is a rare site for the development of lipomas, and the aim of the study is to determine if the current imaging modalities can diagnose lipomas correctly. A 43-year-old patient presented with a painless, slowly progressive, oval, mobile and non-tender right vulvar mass compressing the vagina and totally covering the introitus. Both the ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams suggested the diagnosis of lipoma. Surgical excision was performed, and the histopathological examination of the mass confirmed a lipoma.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Mri

Primary extradural mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MCS) is a very rare intraspinal tumor. Proper clinical evaluation with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) followed by biopsy of the mass can confirm the diagnosis. Since MCS has a high tendency of recurrence and metastasis, the prognosis is guarded. We report a 52 years old male with primary extradural MCS in the lumbosacral region (L5-S3). Subtotal excision and biopsy were performed which confirmed the diagnosis. The patient received post excisional radiotherapy but expired after four months. Though rare, this tumor should be kept in differentials which helps in early diagnosis and thus can be treated with radical excision of the mass along with postoperative radiotherapy.

Testicular Ectopia

Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of the testis, characterized by migration of one testis toward the contrary hemiscrotum. TTE is usually associated with other testicular abnormalities such as persistent Mullerian duct syndrome, hypospadias, true hermaphroditism, and scrotal anomalies. Testicular sonography is the main initial diagnostic modality, followed by magnetic resonance imaging of the scrotum. These imaging modalities are important for determination of TTE and characterization of the testicular lesions. This case report provides the high-resolution ultrasonography, Doppler ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and diffusion-weighted imaging findings of a young man with seminoma in the transverse testicular ectopia. In addition, data on tumor stiffness, obtained with point shear-wave sonoelastography, are presented.

Subglottic cysts can cause stridor and respiratory distress in the infant. The diagnosis of subglottic cysts is often confirmed during direct laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy. We describe the case of a 6-month-old boy with bilateral subglottic cysts that were preoperatively diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We also review the current literature on the diagnosis and treatment of subglottic cysts. Up until now, 63 cases of subglottic cysts were reported in the literature since 1966, and most were diagnosed by direct endoscopy. In this article, we describe a new case and we provide the first published report of the novel use of MRI in diagnosing this lesion.

AbstractObjective:We present an extremely rare case of isolated angiokeratoma of the tongue.Method:Case report and review of related literature.Results:An 18-year-old, male adolescent presented with a fleshy, intermittently bleeding mass in the posterior third and base of the tongue. The lesion was initially suspected to be a lingual thyroid or haemangioma, but histopathological features were consistent with angiokeratoma. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the lesion extended up to the vallecula and involved the lamina propria and superficial tongue musculature. No similar lesions were found elsewhere in the body. No metabolic derangements were identified in the patient or his family. The 2.6 × 1.5 × 0.5 cm mass was excised under general anaesthesia.Conclusion:We present the 1st case of isolated lingual angiokeratoma in a male, the 4th such case overally, the largest ever documented. The lesion was situated in the posterior third and base of the tongue, a position not previously described.
