The kissing sign between the liver and the rate is a purely radiological sign. It reflects severe hepatomegaly or splenomegaly or a combination of the two resulting in intimate contact between the two organs. It has been described in ultrasound, CT and magnetic resonance imaging. This sign is not specific for liver disease. It can be associated with various hepatic pathologies (cirrhosis, portal hypertension, neoplastic, toxic, infectious, metabolic), extra hepatic (cardiovascular, haematological, lymphoma) or splenic (tumoral) [1]. We present the image of a 34-year-old female patient with a history of breast cancer with hepatic and bone metastasis. Abdominal computed tomography shows multi-nodular hepatomegaly coming into contact with the spleen showing the kiss sign (Figure 1 and 2).

A 62-year-old woman with a history of metastatic breast cancer and known meningioma presented with unilateral vision loss associated with anisocoria and an afferent pupillary defect. On magnetic resonance imaging we found the cause to be optic nerve compression by a right frontal meningioma. Monocular vision-loss etiologies are anatomically localized to structures anterior to the optic chiasm. This case serves as a reminder that cerebral structures in this location must not be forgotten in the differential.

AbstractObjective:To describe a case of giant cell reparative granuloma of the temporal bone which extended into the middle-ear cavity, and which was successfully treated surgically via a transmastoid approach, with hearing preservation.Case:A 37-year-old man presented with a one-year history of right-sided hearing loss, complicated by a three-month history of otalgia and a sensation of aural fullness. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an osteolytic tumour lesion in the right temporal bone. The diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy from the mastoid lesion.Investigation and intervention:Pure-tone audiometry, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were conducted, followed by total resection.Result:The giant cell reparative granuloma of the temporal bone was completely resected, with preservation of hearing.Conclusion:Although this patient's giant cell reparative granuloma of the temporal bone extended into the middle-ear cavity, total resection was achieved, with preservation of hearing. To the best of our knowledge, hearing preservation following resection of giant cell reparative granuloma of the temporal bone has not previously been reported.

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate five discal cysts with detailed magnetic resonance imaging findings in nonsurgical and following postoperative microdiscectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Five discal cysts in four patients who underwent magnetic resonance imaging were found through a search in our database and referral from a single orthopedic spine surgeon. Computed tomography in two cases and computed tomography discography in one case were also performed. RESULTS: Five discal cysts were present in four patients. Three patients had no history of previous lumbar surgery and the other patient presented with two discal cysts and recurrent symptoms after partial laminectomy and microdiscectomy. All were oval shaped and seated in the anterior epidural space. Four were ventrolateral, and the other one was centrally positioned in the anterior spinal canal. One showed continuity with the central disc following discography. Three were surgically removed. CONCLUSION: Magnetic resonance imaging can easily depict an epidural cyst and the diagnosis of a discal cyst should be raised when an homogeneous ventrolateral epidural cyst contiguous to a mild degenerated disc is identified.
