Bartholin gland cyst is the most common vulval cyst that arises from the dilated duct resulting from the obstruction of its opening. Most cysts are asymptomatic, but if not treated adequately and remain obstructed, they get infected and can result in Bartholin gland abscess. Abscess is usually present in the women of reproductive age. Patients commonly present with fever and painful progressive swelling of labia. Imaging modalities are used to diagnose the disease and it also aids to understand its extension in the complex pelvic floor region. The vulvar region is a host of various benign and malignant lesions. Vulva is a collective term for several anatomical structures: Mons pubis, labia majora and minora, vestibule, Bartholin gland and clitoris. Most common vulva cysts are the Bartholin gland cysts. In majority of the cases, these cysts are asymptomatic or are incidentally found on imaging studies. If these cysts are not properly treated, they can get infected and cause complication such as Bartholin gland abscess. 2 % of women during their lifetime develop Bartholin gland abscess or cysts.1 Pain is one of the most common indicators of infection in Bartholin cyst. Bartholin abscess starts with progressive swelling of labia majora later accompanied by fever and painful swelling of affected vulva side.2 Imaging modalities such an ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging aid in the diagnosis and extension of the lesion. We present a case of 55-year perimenopausal female of Bartholin gland abscesses diagnosed using imaging modalities such as ultrasound sonography (USG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

AbstractThe present study is a case report of vulvar lipoma. The vulva is a rare site for the development of lipomas, and the aim of the study is to determine if the current imaging modalities can diagnose lipomas correctly. A 43-year-old patient presented with a painless, slowly progressive, oval, mobile and non-tender right vulvar mass compressing the vagina and totally covering the introitus. Both the ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams suggested the diagnosis of lipoma. Surgical excision was performed, and the histopathological examination of the mass confirmed a lipoma.

BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides structural characterization of brain lesions, by measuring volume of axial, sagittal and coronal planes through two dimensional slices. The purpose of this study was to characterize and identify the orthogonal imaging planes to detect non tumour lesions of brain through MRI. METHODS This study included 81 patients, both males and females, suspected of brain lesions and underwent MRI for diagnosis. The variations in the volume of the anatomical structures were measured and compared the planes as axial and sagittal, axial and coronal and coronal and sagittal for non-tumour brain lesions. RESULTS The present study revealed the differences in the measurement of volume in nontumour lesions (N = 81) in axial, sagittal and coronal planes. It was found that the volume of axial planes (9.2) is more dominant than the sagittal (9.1) and coronal planes (8.8) in non-tumour lesions. Statistical analysis was done by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 16 software). Two way/Friedman test were used for comparing the three groups. CONCLUSIONS This study concluded that, in most of the brain lesions irrespective of the type of tumours, axial planes helps more in the detection of tumour volume as compared to sagittal and coronal planes for precise diagnosis of brain lesions.

Context.— Dynamic, contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a highly sensitive imaging modality used for screening and diagnostic purposes. Nonmass enhancement (NME) is commonly seen on MRI of the breast. However, the pathologic correlates of NME have not been extensively explored. Consequently, concordance between MRI and pathologic findings in such cases may be uncertain and this uncertainty may cause the need for additional procedures. Objective.— To examine the histologic alterations that correspond to NME on MRI. Design.— We performed a retrospective search for women who underwent breast MRI between March 2014 and December 2016 and identified 130 NME lesions resulting in biopsy. The MRI findings and pathology slides for all cases were reviewed. The follow-up findings on any subsequent excisions were also noted. Results.— Among the 130 cases, the core needle biopsy showed 1 or more benign lesions without atypia in 80 cases (62%), atypical lesions in 21 (16%), ductal carcinoma in situ in 22 (17%), and invasive carcinoma in 7 (5%). Review of the imaging features demonstrated some statistically significant differences in lesions that corresponded to malignant lesions as compared with benign alterations, including homogeneous or clumped internal enhancement, type 3 kinetics, and T2 dark signal; however, there was considerable overlap of features between benign and malignant lesions overall. Of 130 cases, 54 (41.5%) underwent subsequent excision with only 6 cases showing a worse lesion on excision. Conclusions.— This study illustrates that NME can be associated with benign, atypical, and/or malignant pathology and biopsy remains indicated given the overlap of radiologic features.

Cns Anomalies

Rhombencephalosynapsis (RES) is a rare cerebellar malformation characterized by congenital fusion of the hemispheres and absence of the vermis. This condition is associated with developmental delay, seizures and involuntary head movements. Although the clinical and imaging aspect of this condition have been thoroughly investigated in the adult, prenatal diagnosis remains still a challenge in the modern Fetal-Maternal Medicine. Here we report our experience with 3 cases and review the current literature as well, focusing specifically on the obstetric imaging as well as on the prenatal diagnosis and management of this rare condition. RES should be considered in the differential diagnosis when absence of the vermis in the Posterior Fossa (PF) is suspected at prenatal Ultrasound Sonography (US), especially when ventriculomegaly or other Central Nervous System (CNS) anomalies are detected. A complete anatomical workup is necessary in these cases. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) remains to be the imaging modality of choice in confirming the diagnosis.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Mri

Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an essential component of breast imaging. Whether it is used as a problem-solving tool or a screening test or for staging patients with breast cancer, it detects many lesions in the breast. The challenge for the radiologist is to distinguish significant from insignificant lesions and to direct their management. A brief summary of the terminology according to the American College of Radiologists lexicon will be provided. This review article will cover the differential diagnosis of enhancing lesions, including masses and nonmass enhancement, from benign and malignant causes. Some of the specific morphologic and kinetic features that help to differentiate benign from malignant lesions will be illustrated, and positive predictive values of these features will be reviewed. The various methods of investigating enhancing lesions of the breast will be discussed, including second-look ultrasound, ultrasound-guided biopsy, stereotactic biopsy, and MRI-guided biopsy. A practical approach to the management of MRI-detected lesions will include timing of follow-up, when to biopsy and when to ignore enhancing lesions in the breast.

Medication related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is a common complication of the bisphosphonates and other anti-resorptive drugs which are mainly used for osteoporosis, malignancy related hypercalcemia and distant bone metastases. While some imaging modalities are not successful at detecting Stage 0 MRONJ patients, some modalities such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), can detect early MRONJ lesions. Early diagnosed MRONJ lesions are relatively easier to maintain and treat; thus, early diagnosis plays huge role in treatment. In this review main imaging modalities which are used in dentistry were evaluated regarding MRONJ.
