The differentiation of giant perivascular spaces is the complicated task due to its rare occurrence and multiple differential series. Cystic neoplasms, parasitic cysts, and lacunar strokes are need to be excluded. Knowing and ability to recognize pathognomonic radiological features can help to prevent excessive diagnostics and make the correct diagnose quickly. The article presents a clinical case of a rare and difficulty diagnosing variant of giant perivascular spaces.

Total colonic aganglionosis occurring together with malrotation is a rare occurrence and may pose diagnostic and management dilemmas for the paediatric surgeon. We report a case of a neonate that presented with extended total colonic aganglionosis and malrotation, along with a spectrum of central nervous system and renal abnormalities. The clinical and radiological features and potential diagnostic and management pitfalls are discussed along with a literature review of this exceptionally infrequent association.

INTRODUCTION: Moyers analysis is widely used for analyzing mixed dentition, however, the accuracy of its theoretical probability tables has been recently questioned. Taking into consideration the fact the mixed dentition analysis is of paramount importance to precisely determine the space needed for alignment of canines and premolars, this research aimed at objectively assessing in the literature such an important step for orthodontic diagnosis. METHODS: A computerized search involving articles published on PubMed and Lilacs between 1990 and September, 2011 was conducted in accordance with the method described in the Cochrane 5.1.0 handbook. RESULTS: The research resulted in a sample composed of 629 articles. The inclusion criteria were: Articles using the Moyers analysis with a sample greater or equal to 40 patients. Conversely, the exclusion criteria were: Dental casts of patients with syndromes or oral cleft, researches conducted with a literature review, only, or clinical case reports and researches conducted before 1990. For this systematic review, 19 articles were selected. CONCLUSION: Based on the literature available, we can conclude that the Moyers mixed dentition analysis must be carefully used, since the majority of the articles analyzed showed that the probability of 75% was not as accurate as expected, leading to the need of adapting the probability levels depending on the study population.

A five-year-old boy presented with left tibial swelling; there was a typical radiological feature of osteofibrous dysplasia. He was observed until the age of 14 years; there was development of aggressive radiological features. Biopsy revealed chondroblastic osteosarcoma. It was excised and the histology revealed chondroblastic osteosarcoma. A small lesion distal to the main tumour revealed adamantinoma within a background of feature of osteofibrous dysplasia. Proximally, feature of osteofibrous dysplasia was identified focally. The finding of adamantinoma over the distal part of the lesion supports that feature of osteofibrous dysplasia may be a precursor of adamantinoma. They may be a spectrum of diseases with multistep neoplastic transformation. The osteosarcoma may be a result of de-differentiation from adamantinoma. This case is remarkable as the patient was only 14 years old and the tumour showed typical features of osteosarcoma, with feature of osteofibrous dysplasia and adamantinoma found in the same specimen. Feature of osteofibrous dysplasia may be a precursor of adamantinoma, and adamantinoma may dedifferentiate into osteosarcoma.
