Testicular Malignancy

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.

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.

Rare Congenital Anomaly

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.

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.

Second Peak

Introduction: Micro-vascular occlusion (MVO) in a myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with an increased risk of heart failure and mortality. Hs-T-troponin has a double peak kinetic after MI. The aim was to determine if this kinetic was correlated to MVO evaluated by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after MI. Methods: This is a monocentric retrospective study. Inclusion criteria were hospitalization for MI, Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction flow 0 at coronary angiography, reperfusion within 12 h from the onset of chest pain, cardiac MRI within the first month, and a 5-days’ biological follow-up with at least hs-T-Troponin and C-reactive protein (CRP). Statistics were performed using the R software. Results: Ninety-eight patients were included. Fifty-three patients (54.1%) had MVO at MRI. The existence of MVO was associated with a trend of more kissing procedure during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (p = 0.06), a significantly more frequent second peak of troponin (p = 0.048), a significantly higher CRP level (p < 0.0001) and a longer time to balloon (p = 0.01). The association of CRP level above 40 mg/L at day 2 and the observation of a second peak of troponin were associated to 95% of MVO in ST-segment elevation MI patients. By contrast, in the absence of these 2 criteria, MVO was absent in 78% of the cases. This score was associated with a higher rate of hospitalisation at 2 years. Conclusion: A biological score integrating hs-TNT second peak and CRP might help to predict MVO and predict outcomes after reperfused MI in our population.

Over Time

Few complications regarding the use of bioabsorbable suture anchors in the shoulder have been reported. What motivated this case report was the unusual location of the anchor, found in the acromioclavicular joint which, to our knowledge, has never been reported so far. A 53-year old male with previous rotator cuff (RC) repair using bioabsorbable suture anchors presented with pain and weakness after 2 years of surgery. A suspicion of retear of the RC led to request of a magnetic resonance image, in which the implant was found located in the acromioclavicular joint. The complications reported with the use of metallic implants around the shoulder led to the development of bioabsorbable anchors. Advantages are their absorption over time, minimizing the risk of migration or interference with revision surgery, less artifacts with magnetic resonance imaging, and tendon-to-bone repair strength similar to metallic anchors. Since the use of bioabsorbable suture anchors is increasing, it is important to know the possible complications associated with these devices.

Bilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss

AbstractObjective:Magnetic resonance imaging is a routine investigation in cases of asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss, but it is not routinely used to investigate bilateral sensorineural hearing loss.Method:This case report illustrates the benefits of magnetic resonance image scanning in the latter patient group.Results:A 53-year-old man with rapidly progressive, symmetrical, bilateral, sensorineural hearing loss was found also to have anosmia, imbalance and incoordination. Magnetic resonance image scanning demonstrated leptomeningeal haemosiderosis. Progressive, bilateral, sensorineural hearing loss is the most common presentation of this condition and magnetic resonance imaging is the diagnostic investigation of choice.Conclusion:There are potential treatments for leptomeningeal haemosiderosis which prevent further irreversible damage, if a bleeding source can be found. Hearing loss may be due to cochlear or retrocochlear pathology. Cochlear implantation may be indicated.
