We present a case demonstrating the performance of different radiographical imaging modalities in the diagnostic work-up of a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and plexiform neurofibroma (PN). The newborn boy showed an expansive-infiltrative cervical and facial mass presented with macrocrania, craniofacial disfigurement, exophthalmos and glaucoma. A computer tomography (CT) and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed. The CT was fundamental to evaluate the bone dysmorphisms and the MRI was crucial to estimate the mass extension. The biopsy of the lesion confirmed the suspicion of PN, thus allowing the diagnosis of NF1. PN is a variant of neurofibromas, a peripheral nerves sheath tumor typically associated with NF1. Even through currently available improved detection techniques, NF1 diagnosis at birth remains a challenge due to a lack of pathognomonic signs; therefore congenital PN are recognized in 20% of cases. This case highlights the importance of using different radiological methods both for the correct diagnosis and the follow-up of the patient with PN. Thanks to MRI evaluation, it was possible to identify earlier the progressive increasing size of the PN and the possible life threatening evolution in order to perform a tracheostomy to avoid airways compression.

Abstract Background Liver biopsy is the standard reference for staging hepatic fibrosis. Non-invasive methods for assessment of hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis are becoming increasingly popular. Objective We aimed at exploring the change in practice regarding the use of liver biopsy and non-invasive methods for staging hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis among hepatologists. Methods We performed a survey-based study that recruited hepatologists from various Egyptian institutions. Physicians were deemed eligible if they had a degree in internal medicine with hepatology as a subspecialty. We utilized an online-based survey that assessed the acceptability and reliability of liver biopsy, serum biomarkers, and radiological tools for evaluating liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Results A total of 573 responses were retrieved (response rate = 80.3%). Out of them, 58% were having more than 15 years of experience as a hepatologist. Liver biopsy is still considered the gold standard for assessment of hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis by 61% of participants. Liver biopsy was accepted by 44% of their patients. 84% reported the need for a more practical alternative to liver biopsy to assess disease progression or response to treatment. 78.34% of participants know serum biomarkers, 84.08% reported that they were acceptable by their patients, 37.79% thought they are reliable. 95.4% were familiar with radiological methods of non-invasive assessment of hepatic fibrosis, 89.1% reported that radiological methods were acceptable by their patients, 62% think that they are reliable and 78% reported they were applicable in clinical practice. Sixty-five percent think that combining non-invasive methods is better than using a single method. Forty percent of participants thought that radiological methods are easier to use for assessment of hepatic fibrosis followed by a combination of non-invasive methods, serum biomarkers, and liver biopsy respectively. Conclusion In conclusion, liver biopsy is still considered the most reliable method for evaluation and staging of liver cirrhosis by hepatologists in Egyptian institutions, despite the modest acceptance by the patients. Nonetheless, non-invasive methods are gaining acceptance by Egyptian physicians and patients, and most of them consider these methods as reliable and applicable tools for predicting the course of liver cirrhosis.

Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging with VI-RADS is a newly discussed method of diagnosing bladder cancer. There are more studies suggesting implementation of mpMRI with VI-RADS to the modern scheme of treating bladder cancer. It requires much more observation and trials to give a final recommendations. The aim of the summary is to present VI-RADS scale and possibilities that appear with the method. Many studies, that were made by departments of urology or radiology, showed promising results. Background: estimation of bladder cancer depends on proper tumor staging, grading and assessment of its biological potential. It is provided by a multimodal approach using clinical, histopathological and radiological methods. Development of MRI provides the best imaging technique for locoregional staging in several other tumors. Lately it was adjusted in BCa preoperative evaluation leading to significant improvement in differentiating patients with NMIBCs and MIBCs. Objective: this article aims to approximate the fundamentals of MRI in BCa and to provide an overview of the available data on the role of VI-RADS score in the diagnostic pathway of bladder cancer.

New Perspective

A large group of patients with significant asymptomatic or low-symptomatic coeliac trunk stenosis require deeper consideration. On angiography, CT and MRI, 10–24% of examined patients are found to have their coeliac trunk compressed by the median arcuate ligament of the diaphragm. The associated median arcuate ligament syndrome, which is also called coeliac trunk compression syndrome or Dunbar syndrome, is rarely fully symptomatic. It is estimated that there are up to 7% of patients with such a clinical presentation. An asymptomatic or low-symptomatic course of the disease in patients with the syndrome is mainly explained by a developed collateral circulation, particularly involving the arterial arcades of the head of pancreas. In such cases, CT angiography detects collateral circulation in 22–69.6% of examined patients. The present authors often observed coeliac trunk blood flow to normalise in a standing position. According to them, the main causative factor for this phenomenon is the deflection of the coeliac trunk and its compression against the aorta by a lowered left lobe of the liver. The researchers observed it in many individuals; in this study, 5 cases are presented.
