<p class="abstract">Fibromatosis colli is a rare benign lesion characterised by a proliferation of fibrous tissue within the sternocleidomastoid muscle. There is a slight preponderance to affect males and it occurs more frequently on the right side of the neck. Here, we report a 6-week-old girl who presented with a swelling on the left side of her neck, opposite to usual tendencies. Ultrasonography reported a left sternocleidomastoid muscle tumour of unknown specificity. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was needed to ascertain the final diagnosis of a left fibromatosis colli. She was managed conservatively and the condition resolved by the age of 1 year. In most cases, fibromatosis colli is reliably diagnosable with ultrasonography alone. MRI may be considered as an adjunct in situations where diagnostic doubts still persist.</p>

In vivo dynamic changes in the interosseous membrane (IOM) during forearm rotation were studied using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The right forearms of 20 healthy volunteers were examined in five different rotational positions. Axial slices were obtained at the proximal quarter, the middle and the distal quarter of the forearm. The changes in shape of the IOM during rotation were observed in an axial MR plane. For each image, we measured the interosseous distance and the length of the interosseous membrane. Images of the tendinous and membranous parts of the IOM could be differentiated by thickness. There were minimal dynamic changes in the tendinous part on the MRI while the membranous part showed numerous changes during rotation. The interosseous distance and the length of the interosseous membrane were maximum from a neutral to a slightly supinated position. The tendinous part is considered to be taut during rotation to provide stability between the radius and the ulna, but the membranous part which is soft, thin and elastic, allows smooth rotation.

Abstract Background: Nowadays, it needs favorable biomarkers to follow up the disease progression and therapeutic responses of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). This study evaluates which one of Quantitative muscle ultrasound (QMUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is suitable for the disease in China. Methods: Thirty-six boys with DMD engaged in the longitudinal observational cohort study, who used prednisone from baseline to 12th month. Muscle thickness (MT) and echo intensity (EI) of QMUS and T1-weighted MRI grading were measured in the right quadriceps femoris of the boys with DMD. Results: The scores of MT and EI of QMUS and T1-weighted MRI grading showed significant correlations with the clinical ones of muscle strength, timed testing, and quality of life. The scores of MT and EI of QMUS showed good correlations with the ones of T1-weighted MRI grading too (P<0.05). But 15 of 36 boys with DMD did not take MRI examinations for different reasons. Conclusions: QMUS and MRI can use as biomarkers for tracking DMD. Nevertheless, QMUS, because of its practical, low cost, and patient-friendly, applies for DMD widely than MRI in China.

Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a congenital heart disease that accounts for up to 40% of all congenital cardiac malformations. VSD is a connection between right and left ventricle, through the ventricular septum. Echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) help identify this entity. This case presents a 12-year-old male diagnosed with a small muscular apical VSD of 3 mm in diameter, at echocardiography. Cardiac MRI using first-pass perfusion sequence, combining the right plane of acquisition with a short bolus of contrast material, clearly confirmed the presence of VSD.

Myofibroblastoma of the breast (MFB) is a very rare benign stromal tumor. In recent years, increase in mammographic screenings has resulted in increased diagnosis of MFB. Most cases are old males and postmenopausal women. MFB may be confused as malignant, clinically, morphologically, or by imaging. Immunohistochemistry is essential for final diagnosis in these cases. We report a case of a pathologically diagnosed MFB in an 80-year-old male patient who had coexisting prostate cancer and describe its imaging characteristics, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this paper, histopathological and MRI findings of the MFB were discussed.

A retrospective cohort study of the concordance between the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnosis and final diagnosis in patients with Müllerian duct anomalies (MDAs) was conducted, and diagnostic clues were suggested. A total of 463 cases of young women who underwent pelvic MRIs from January 1995 to February 2019 at Seoul Asan Medical Center were reviewed. Interventions consisted of clinical examinations, abdominal or transvaginal/rectal ultrasound, MRI, and operative procedures, including hysteroscopy and laparoscopy. The concordance of the diagnosis between the results obtained with MRI and those obtained with surgeries was evaluated. It was found that a total of 225 cases (48.6%) showed genital tract anomalies on MRI. Among them, 105 cases (46.7%) underwent reconstructive surgery. Nineteen cases (8.4%) revealed discrepancies between the final diagnosis after surgery and the initial MRI findings and eleven cases (57.9%) had cervical anomalies. Incorrect findings associated with the MRIs were particularly evident in biopsied cases of cervical dysgenesis. A combination of physical examination, ultrasound, and MRI is suitable for preoperative work-up in the diagnoses of congenital obstructive anomalies. However, it is recommended that a pathologic confirmation of tissue at the caudal leading edge be made in obstructive genital anomalies, in cases of presumptive vaginal or cervical dysgenesis.

Introduction Paratesticular lesions are common, and one subgroup is paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma. The latter is a relatively uncommon (but aggressive) tumour that affects children and adolescents predominantly. Ultrasound is the first-line investigation, but can be inconclusive. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide useful information, but its role in the diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma is not clear. Case History We report a 17-year-old male who presented with a one-month history of a rapidly enlarging, non-tender, lump in the right testicle. Urgent ultrasound of the scrotum revealed a heterogenous paratesticular mass that was hypervascular and showed calcification in the right inguinal area. MRI of the pelvis showed a solid, enhancing lesion of dimension located superior to the upper pole of the right testes and a slightly heterogeneous T2 signal, but was homogenous post-contrast. The patient underwent right radical orchidectomy, and histology results were assessed. He received chemotherapy and is being followed up. Conclusions Improvements in imaging in addition to early surgical intervention and chemotherapy treatment are crucial to improve survival chances against rhabdomyosarcoma. Ultrasound findings for benign diseases may mimic those seen in rhabdomyosarcoma. In such cases of diagnostic uncertainty, our surgical team suggest MRI to reduce the risk of a delayed diagnosis and time to treatment.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE Transcortical approaches to the inferior horn often result in quadrant hemianopsia attributable to the injury to the optic radiation. The inferior temporal sulcus (ITS) has received little attention as an entrance point for the transsulcal approach. We used the method of detecting the ITS with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and investigated the sulcus pattern of ITS, its incidence rate, and the availability of the ITS to the corticotomy for selective amygdalohippocampectomy. METHODS The sulcus patterns of the ITS of 100 temporal lobes in 50 healthy individuals were classified according to the number of interruptions by gyral bridges, and the localization of the ITS was characterized in relation to the outer surface by means of the surface anatomy scan of MRI. RESULTS Most of the ITS was interrupted by one to three gyral bridges (0 bridges, 8%; one bridge, 27%: two bridges, 37%; three bridges, 20%; more than four bridges or no apparent ITS, 8%). When the ITS was present, it was located 15 mm above the orbitotragus line at a point 20 mm anterior to the tragus. The number of gyral bridges was significantly larger in the left temporal lobes than in the right temporal lobes, regardless of the sex of the subject. CONCLUSION The ITS was clearly identified in 72% of the temporal lobes by the oblique sagittal view of MRI scans; thus, in such cases, the ITS was considered to be a candidate for an entrance point of a small temporal corticotomy. The preoperative observation of the ITS in relation to the orbitotragus line by means of MRI may improve the planning of the transsulcal approaches to deeply seated mesial temporal lesions, such as hippocampal sclerosis.

A case of synchronous cystic teratomas presented with the complaints of a slow-growing facial mass and forward protrusion of the right eye since birth. The patient was examined thoroughly and subjected to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The MRI scan revealed the presence of two separate cysts in the right orbit and right temporal fossa. The patient was operated by a combined effort of ophthalmologists and otorhinolaryngologists. The cysts were excised and subjected to pathological examination. The histopathological survey revealed both the cysts to be mature cystic teratomas similar to each other. This coexistence of a primary temporal fossa teratoma with an orbital teratoma is the first of its kind and to the best of our knowledge has not been reported before.

Diagnostic Importance

There are few published reports regarding imaging findings of sinus of Valsalva aneurysms (SVA) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We present an unusual form of ruptured SVA, emphasizing the diagnostic importance of MRI among a range of imaging techniques. This case report describes a case of idiopathic (thought to be congenital in origin), acutely symptomatic ruptured noncoronary SVA diagnosed by MRI and confirmed with conventional angiography and surgery. MRI accurately showed aneurysm size, location, and rupture into the right atrium and provided valuable information about this rare lesion.
