Is Cervical Spine CT Sufficient in Pediatric Blunt Trauma? an Analysis of Cervical Spine Pathology Discovered on Magnetic Resonance Imaging after Normal Computed Tomography Scan in a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center
Isolated sphenoid sinus mucocele (SSM) is a rare entity that can result in serious sequelae if diagnosis and treatment are inappropriately delayed. Typically, mucoceles are asymptomatic, and they are accidentally identified after computed tomography scan or magnetic resonance imaging of the maxillofacial area performed for other pathologic issues. We report a case of isolated SSM that only presented with headache for over a year, and also review the literature regarding surgical management of such entity.
A 3.5-year-old girl with tyrosinemia is reported. A computed tomography scan of the abdomen revealed multiple hepatic nodules. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral high-signal changes confined to the globus pallidus on T2-weighted images. Globus pallidus lesions likely represented neuropathologic changes such as astocytosis, delayed myelination, and status spongiosus (myelin splitting and vacuolation).
We report the case of a 12-year-old girl with an unusual "third upper extremity" developed in her back around the axis. Radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography scan, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed the development of a complex deformity comprised of long bones and fluid, largely resembling an upper limb; as well as a fluid-filled membrane sac whose contents favored a fetus in fetu.
