Objective: To describe the imaging features of the normal anatomy and injury of the posterior tibiotalar ligament (PTTL) of the ankle in a group of patients presenting with posteromedial impingement. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five consecutive patients underwent imaging for posteromedial ankle pain following injury. All 25 patients were investigated with MR imaging, 17 with ultrasound and 5 with radionuclide bone scanning. Clinical data and surgical findings were correlated with the results of radiological investigation. Results: The PTTL demonstrated scar formation and a hypertrophic response consistent with previous injury in all 25 patients. Displacement or encasement of the surrounding tendons and their sheaths was often encountered (12/25). Bony avulsion was demonstrated in 5/25 occasions with ultrasound and 2/25 with MR imaging. Twelve patients underwent surgery, confirming the radiological findings. Conclusion: Imaging can effectively evaluate the integrity of the PTTL in the context of ongoing posteromedial ankle pain.

During rapid spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) globally, ever since WHO declared COVID-19 as pandemic, there have been various patterns of disease in terms of diagnosis, management and complications. Secondary infections are reportedly common in hospitalized and severely ill COVID-19 patients among which fungal being 10 times more common. Mucormycosis is amongst the most lethal form of Zygormycosis occurring in post COVID-19 patients. A varied patterns of disease involvement and spectrum of imaging features are observed in patients with mucormycosis in post COVID-19 patients. MRI has better efficacy than CT in detecting early invasion of mucormycosis. The goal of this review is to familiarize radiologists about the MR imaging spectrum of mucormycosis in post COVID-19 patients with potential diagnostic pitfalls in CT. Advances in knowledge: Radiological findings of mucormycosis in post COVID-19 patients show varied patterns of disease involvement and spectrum of imaging features. One should not solely rely on CT imaging to detect the extent of disease. MRI helps in early and accurate detection of invasion into adjacent structures and so helpful in early intervention.

AbstractOsteoid osteoma is a benign osteoblastic tumor, quite uncommon in the spine. We report a case of an osteoid osteoma involving the atlas in a 6-year-old boy, who presented with suboccipital pain and torticollis. Initial radiological findings were ambiguous as magnetic resonance imaging showed mainly edema of upper cervical soft tissues. The subsequent computed tomography depicted a lesion of left lamina of C1. As conservative treatment failed, the lesion was surgically resected and the patient became pain free. To our knowledge, this is the first case of osteoid osteoma involving the atlas associated with abnormal soft tissue reaction reported in literature.
