Abstract Background The calcaneus secundarius (CS) is an accessory ossicle of the anterior facet of the calcaneus and is usually asymptomatic. This accessory bone can be frequently mistaken for a fracture of the anterior process of the calcaneus. Few reports of symptomatic CS have been published, and physicians need to be familiar with imaging strategies when encountering chronic ankle pain or in case of suspicion of fracture of the anterior process of the calcaneus. Case presentation We describe the case of symptomatic CS in a professional soccer player injured during a match. First, computed tomography showed a large CS. Second, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated synchondrosis between the CS and the calcaneus, as well as edema (high MR T2 signal) within it, corresponding to posttraumatic edema. The patient was successfully treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and physiotherapy; no surgical management was necessary. At the 4-week follow-up, he was pain-free and returned to activity. Conclusion This case illustrates the role of imaging for the diagnosis of CS in cases of acute pain of the foot. CT, as well as MRI, helped to confirm the diagnosis of CS traumatized synchondrosis, which can be mistaken for a fracture.

The incidence of medial sesamoid bone fracture is rare. Clinically they are often misdiagnosed as soft tissue injuries and often missed. Thus generates an important morbidity for the patient. Objectives: We present a case of turf-toe injury: plantar-plate rupture with medial sesamoid bone fracture in a contact athlete. Methods: A 19-year-old professional soccer player injured his left toe when he planted his foot during a sprint. He had an hyperextension and axial overload traumatism in his toe. On physical examination he had pain, swollen, ecchymosis, instability and loss of plantar-flexion strength. Radiographs showed a transverse medial sesamoid bone fracture with retraction > 3 mm. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a subluxation of the proximal phalange and a plantar plate disruption. Because of the completely deficient flexion, the sesamoid retraction, and the articular subluxation, surgery was recommended to restore the MTPJ anatomy. Reduction of the fracture and Repair of the plantar plate was performed using non-absorbable 2-0 Fiber wire sutures through a medial approach. Postoperatively, the patient was placed in a cast, for a total of 2 weeks. After that he began a rehabilitation program. Results: The patient had a complete recovery. He returned to participation in his team at 3 months. At final follow-up, his dorsiflexion ROM was 60 in the involved toe. Conclusion: Turf-toe and disorders of the sesamoid complex is an important injury, often misdiagnosed and usually undertreated. They had an incidence of 25% to 50% of residual pain and limited dorsiflexion in those cases. Despite the incidence of surgical treatment of 2%, we have found hopeful results with the open reduction and internal fixation of the fracture. Accurate and timely diagnosis and treatment can allow for full return to activity for these athletes.

Introduction: Uterus didelphys with obstructed hemivagina associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis (OHVIRA syndrome) is a rare female urogenital malformation and delay in its diagnosis could lead to several complications. Case presentation: A 21-year-old virgin woman was admitted to the emergency department (ED) with severe abdominal pain, without fever and vaginal discharge. She reported a history of cyclic abdominopelvic pain and dysmenorrhea for 5 years. The primary diagnosis (OHVIRA syndrome) was made using ultrasonography, spiral computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In addition, laparoscopy was performed to confirm diagnosis and drain hematosalpinx. Then, hysteroscopy was carried out for septum resection and catheter insertion. At one-month follow-up the ultrasonography showed normal left hemicavity of uterus associated with significant decrease in dysmenorrhea. Conclusion: Being aware of OHVIRA syndrome and clinical suspicion of this rare anomaly are essential for making a timely diagnosis, preventing complications, relieving symptoms, and preserving future fertility.

Various imaging techniques are used in the staging and follow-up of head and neck cancer and evaluating patients presenting with a neck mass. The workhorses in imaging the neck are ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with positron emission tomography CT (PET-CT) increasingly being requested. Plain radiographs, contrast studies, video fluoroscopy, angiography, and cone beam CT have limited but important roles. This chapter discusses the role of some of these modalities.

Abstract Background Wallerian degeneration (WD) can occur in different projecting systems, such as corticospinal tract, dentate-rubro-olivary pathway, and corticopontocerebellar tract. However, the co-occurrence of hypertrophic olivary degeneration (HOD) and middle cerebellar peduncles (MCPs) degeneration secondary to unilateral pontine infarction in a single patient is extremely rare. Case presentation A 71-year-old man presented with acute onset of dizzness, slurred speech, and right-sided weakness. On the next day, his previous neurologic deficits deteriorated. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed acute ischemic stroke of the left pons. After treatment with thrombolysis, antiplatelets, and rehabilitation training, his speaking and motor function improved moderately. At the 3-month follow-up, the MRI showed hyperintensity in the left medulla oblongata and bilateral MCPs on T2-weighted and FLAIR images, suggesting HOD as well as MCPs degeneration. Conclusions It is of great importance for us to know the anatomic knowledge of dentate-rubro-olivary and corticopontocerebellar pathways.
