ABSTRACTBiliary tract shows a large number of anatomic variations and duplication of the gallbladder (GB) is a rare congenital anomaly. Although it is very often detected incidentally, it may present with complications due to gall stone disease. Careful identification of this anomaly on imaging is important to prevent any serious surgical complications. We here report a case of duplicated GB in a 26-year-old male, who presented with right hypochondriac pain and detected to have two GB on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Uterus didelphys associated with unilateral imperforate vagina is a rare congenital anomaly. Clinically the patients present with nonspecific symptoms, an accurate and whenever possible noninvasive diagnosis is of utmost importance to permit corrective treatment and as little mutilation as possible, and to assure the future fertility of the patient [1, 2]. We report 3 cases and discuss the use of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as a very reliable diagnostic tool in such cases. By characters of MRI, the congenital malformation was detected for these cases and appropriate treatment was implemented.

AbstractThe window duct is a rare congenital anomaly that is physiologically similar to an aortopulmonary window but is extrapericardial at the distal pulmonary trunk. The diagnosis is challenging, and surgical management is complex. Our patient is the first and the youngest to be reported with successful closure and diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging.

Duplication of the bladder is a very rare congenital anomaly that is usually associated with other congenital anomalies. We present 2 cases of babies with duplication of the bladder combined with other congenital anomalies. Abdominal sonography, genitography, lopography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed incomplete duplication of the bladder at coronal and sagittal plane and combined with other congenital anomalies. Cystourethroscopy confrm the diagnosis.

Macrodystrophia lipomatosa (MDL) results from progressive overgrowth of all the mesenchymal elements, with a disproportionate increase in fibro-adipose tissue. This rare congenital abnormality occurs most frequently in the distribution of the median nerve in the upper, and medial plantar nerve in the lower, extremity. Excess of unencapsulated fibro-adipose tissue on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is virtually diagnostic and can differentiate this entity from other diseases with similar presentations. Involvement of the ulnar aspect of the hand, though rare, has been described; however, the lateral aspect of the foot as seen in our second case has not been reported, to the best of our knowledge.

Polyorchidism is a rare congenital anomaly frequently associated with maldescent testis, hernia, and torsion. Reports in the literature show an increased risk of testicular malignancy in the presence of polyorchidism. This entity has characteristic sonographic features and the diagnosis is often made on the basis of sonography. Magnetic resonance imaging might also be used for the diagnosis, but is more helpful in cases associated with cryptorchism or neoplasia. A conservative approach is the treatment of choice in uncomplicated cases.

AbstractWhen it comes to examining the brachial plexus, ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are complementary investigations. US is well placed for screening most extraforaminal pathologies, whereas MRI is more sensitive and accurate for specific clinical indications. For example, MRI is probably the preferred technique for assessment of trauma because it enables a thorough evaluation of both the intraspinal and extraspinal elements, although US can depict extraforaminal neural injury with a high level of accuracy. Conversely, US is probably the preferred technique for examination of neurologic amyotrophy because a more extensive involvement beyond the brachial plexus is the norm, although MRI is more sensitive than US for evaluating muscle denervation associated with this entity. With this synergy in mind, this review highlights the tips for examining the brachial plexus with US and MRI.
