SummaryThis case report describes an acute traumatic fracture of the medial coronoid process (MCP) in an immature male Rottweiler. On routine radiographs of the left elbow joint, clear abnormalities could not be detected. The definitive diagnosis was based on craniolaterocaudomedial oblique radiographs and a CT scan. The fragment was removed arthroscopically via a medial approach. Histologically the fragment did not show any signs of degeneration nor demineralisation, as seen in classical fragments of the medial coronoid process. One week after treatment, complete limb function had been regained. Follow-up radiographs after nine month showed a minimal increase of osteoarthrosis.

This paper reports the case of a patient who presented limited buccal opening, though, without apparent symptomatology. The patient was partially toothless and exodontia of the remaining teeth was indicated. Clinical examination and clinical interview were performed as well as panoramic radiograph, transcranial radiograph of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) and, later, computed tomography (CT), emphasizing the importance of complementary exams in the diagnostic phase. Analysis of the CT scan confirmed the structural alteration in the condylar and coronoid processes of the jaw, explaining the limited buccal opening. The remaining teeth were extracted and complete upper and lower dentures were fabricated, reestablishing the occlusal relationship and the patient's stomatognathic functions. Surgical treatment of the coronoid process was discarded.

Congenital clefts of the larynx are rare and usually found dorsally. This case report describes a patient with a partial anterior nonfusion, or ventral cleft, of the thyroid cartilage. This was first noted on computed tomography of the larynx used for delineation of carcinoma and was confirmed by horizontal whole mount histologic sections of the resected larynx. The thyroid cartilage suggested arrested fusion of the laminae in the middle to late embryonic period. This patient had an adult form of this rarely reported anomaly and the first, to our knowledge, detected with CT scan.

Lateral Elbow

The anconeus muscle is a small and minor functioning muscle located at the posterolateral elbow region. It helps forearm extension and tightening of the joint capsule. Despite its limited functions, pathologies of the anconeus muscle can mimic other abnormalities of the elbow joint. Here, we report a rare case of a traumatic anconeus muscle contusion in a 15-year-old boy due to falling during dance. MRI showed contusion in the anconeus muscle, as well as strain in the ulnar collateral ligament and edema in the coronoid process of the ulna. To our knowledge, this is the first described case of traumatic anconeus muscle contusion in the literature. The presence of long-lasting lateral elbow pain in trauma cases without fracture should alert clinicians to consider anconeus muscle abnormalities. MRI is the best modality for diagnosis in these cases.

Segmental Infarction

Segmental omental infarction (SOI) is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain. Depending on the site of infarction, it mimics conditions like appendicitis, cholecystitis, and diverticulitis. Before the widespread use of Computed Tomography (CT), the diagnosis was usually made intraoperatively. SOI produces characteristic radiological appearances on CT scan; hence, correct diagnosis using this form of imaging may prevent unnecessary surgery. We present the case of a young woman who was treated conservatively after accurate radiological diagnosis.

Introduction: Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal obstruction. Diagnosis is confirmed via computed tomography (CT) scan showing acute angulation at the origin of superior mesenteric artery compressing on the duodenum causing proximal dilatation of the second part of duodenum.

SummaryA Basset Hound with elbow dysplasias (ununited anconeal process and elbow incongruity in the left elbow, fragmented medial coronoid process and elbow incongruity in the right elbow) was followed by serial radiography, computer tomographic (CT) scan and arthroscopy at eight,11,13,16 and 19 months of age. Radiographs were insensitive to progressive changes in the elbow dysplastic joints. CT and arthroscopy were both highly sensitive to subtle and severe changes occurring in the elbow joint over the times examined. Further studies evaluating the effect of multiple arthroscopic examinations itself on joints as well as age that CT will be sensitive to the earliest changes in the elbow joint need to be investigated. Hopefully, these studies will help evaluate early surgical interventions and help to eliminate elbow dysplasia in breeding dogs.

A facial medial dermoid cyst in a 7-year-old male child is presented along with its Computed tomography (CT) imaging scans. The CT scan images depict clear nasal bone indentation with no erosion. Dermoid cysts are a subset of benign heterotopic neoplasms termed choristomas and periorbital dermoid cysts account for up to 9-10% of paediatric of head and neck dermoid cysts. The periorbital dermoid may occur in two variants as per the plane of location: anterior (superficial) or deep. The presented case in this report is of anterior variety at frontonasal suture.

Chronic Problem

In this case report, the occurrence of medial coronoid disease (MCD) is described in an elevenyear- old Labrador retriever. A left frontleg lameness had started six months before presentation. Radiographs showed minimal pathology and computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a discrete fissure of the medial coronoid process. Arthroscopy confirmed the presence of a coronoid lesion, visible as chondromalacia. Treatment was performed by arthroscopic removal of the diseased cartilage and subchondral bone. Despite the successful procedure, the dog needed continuous physiotherapy to maintain an acceptable gait. MCD is a developmental disorder mainly affecting young large breed dogs. However, the described dog was already eleven years old. Nevertheless, the duration of lameness was rather short and the imaging and arthroscopic findings could not demonstrate a chronic problem. In the literature, little information is available about the etiology, prevalence and treatment outcome of medial coronoid pathology in old dogs.

Introduction. About 5%?10% of mediastinal tumors in adults are teratomas and about 85% of them are benign. Case report. We report a case of extragonadal malignant teratoma in a 39-year old man. The computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest revealed the soft-tissue density mass in the middle lobe of the lung. The posterolateral thoracotomy was performed and a mediastinal tumor of 25 cm was completely resected. Histopathological findings confirmed malignant teratoma. One month after the resection the positron emission tomography- computed tomography (PET/CT) scan of the whole body was performed and showed progression of the disease. Patient developed signs of the superior vena cava obstruction and received radiotherapy of the mediastinum and the metastatic lesion of the lumbal vertebra. After radiotherapy, the patient developed paraplegia and urinary incontinence and received the best supportive treatment. Conclusion. Primary extragonadal germ cell tumors have poor prognosis due to their relative chemoresistance and frequent findings of advanced disease after establishing the diagnosis.
