Introduction: Most pregnant women will experience a normal pregnancy process. However, there are some complications that may occur during pregnancy, including intra-abdominal pregnancy. Intra-abdominal pregnancy, or pregnancy outside of the uterus, are commonly reported besides abortion, pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Thesecomplications are believed to be the main cause of maternal and perinatal death. Therefore, the use of appropriate diagnostic imaging inthe management of obstetric cases should be focused.Objective: This case study intended to evaluate the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in managing intra-abdominal pregnancy.Case Presentation: The study focused on one case with intra-abdominal pregnancy which continued into the second trimester. A 30-year-old woman, G2 P0+1 at 12-13 weeks’ gestation was presented to a public hospital complaining of recurrent epigastric pain with no history of vaginal bleeding. An MRI was performed and the mother was identified as having an intraabdominal pregnancy. Urgent laparotomy was done. Intraoperative finding noted hematoperitoneum with active bleeding seen from the placenta that adhered to the omentum. Partial omentectomy was done. The foetus in about 14 week’s gestation was seen and removed. Case studies have proven that the option to perform an MRI on a suspected intra-abdominal pregnancy can help provide information to establish an accurate diagnosis and appropriate patient care management.Conclusion: The use of MRI is highly recommended for all cases that are expected to experience intra-abdominal pregnancy as it will save the patient as well as avoiding obstetric complications.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2021 Page: S16

Objective: The objective of this study was to outline a novel unique concept of secondary impingement of the muscles, myotendons, and tendons of the rotator cuff from hypertrophy as a result of strength training exercises. Methods: In this retrospective observational study, 58 patients were referred for an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by the orthopedic surgeon to the radiology department over a period of 1½ years. All patients gave a history of strength training exercises and presented with clinical features of rotator cuff impingement. Results: We identified features of hypertrophy of rotator cuff muscles, myotendons, and tendons in 12 of these 58 patients. This was the only abnormality on MRI. The hypertrophy of rotator cuff muscles and tendon bulk completely filling the subacromial space to the point of overfilling and resulting in secondary compressive features. Conclusion: Rotator cuff impingement is a common phenomenon that can occur with various inlet and outlet pathological conditions. However, rotator cuff impingement may also result from muscle and tendon hypertrophy from strength training regimens. Hypertrophy of the rotator cuff can result in overfilling of the subacromial space, leading to secondary impingement, which we have termed as “pseudo-impingement.”

Background: Cutis Verticis Gyrata (CVG) is a rare skin disease caused by overgrowth of the scalp, presenting as cerebriform folds and wrinkles. CVG can be classified into two forms: primary (essential and non-essential) and secondary. The primary non-essential form is often associated with neurological and ophthalmological abnormalities, while the primary essential form occurs without associated comorbidities. Discussion: We report on a rare case of primary essential CVG with a 4-year history of normal-colored scalp skin mass in the parietal-occipital region without symptom in a 34-year-old male patient, retrospectively summarizing his pathological and Computer Tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. The major clinical observations on the CT and MR sectional images include a thickened dermis and excessive growth of the scalp, forming the characteristic scalp folds. With the help of CT and MRI Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction techniques, the characteristic skin changes could be displayed intuitively, providing more evidence for a diagnosis of CVG. At the 5-year followup, there were no obvious changes in the lesion. Conclusion: Based on our observations, we propose that not all patients with primary essential CVG need surgical intervention, and continuous clinical observation should be an appropriate therapy for those in stable condition.

This is a case study of a 47-year-old Caucasian male whose chief concern was left lower leg swelling for 1 month. A unilateral lower extremity venous duplex examination was performed. The results concluded that the distal femoral vein was occluded to the distal popliteal vein. Incidentally, a hypoechoic region in the distal thigh near the distal femoral artery was noted by the technologist. The patient was placed on anticoagulation and was told to return for further examination if there was no relief. Three months later, the patient continued to experience lower left leg swelling and returned for another sonogram. The hypoechoic region was seen again in the distal thigh and remained occluded. A computed tomographic arterial (CT-A) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were ordered for further investigation of the hypoechoic area. The CT-A and the MRI revealed the presence of a mass in the distal thigh. The mass was biopsied and diagnosed as a leiomyosarcoma, grade 1. The mass caused the compression and occlusion of the distal femoral vein. The mass was removed, along with a portion of the distal femoral artery due to involvement of the artery within the mass. The artery was repaired with a graft.

AbstractA 31 year-old man with a history of a depressive episode presented with acute severe ‘thunderclap’ headache. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed abnormalities typical of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leucoencephalopathy (CADASIL), which was subsequently confirmed by genetic analysis. The psychiatric features of this genetic cause of depression and headache are discussed.

A nineteen - year - old female presented with a history of binocular diplopia for one week. She had a history of headache, seizures, and memory loss. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of brain revealed subependymal astrocytoma as the cause of her symptoms. Our pa tient was a probable case of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Diplopia was the presenting sign in this case diagnosis.

Careful Assessment

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful and safe imaging modality for examining preterm infants. However, MRI examination requires careful precautions, and infants and children are likely to require deep sedation or anesthesia to keep them still during the examination. Sedation has various risks and the greatest concern of sedation is cardiorespiratory events. In addition, delicate titration is also necessary for preterm infants because propofol pharmacokinetics is different from those in older children. We successfully completed sedation of a preterm neonate (gestational age, 32+1 weeks; birth weight, 1,970 g) with a history of frequent apnea through careful assessment and continuous monitoring. We want to suggest alternative options for airway management of the high risk of respiratory complications.

Epithelioid hemangioma is a rare benign vascular tumour that atypically involves the penis and usually presents as a painful nodule. A 35-year-old man presented with a 5-month history of painful erections without a clinically apparent lesion or deformity. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with pharmacologically induced erection demonstrated a 1.3-cm nodular lesion deep to the skin at the base of his penis. Following local excision of the lesion, which was diagnosed as an epithelioid hemangioma, the patient was symptom free. This case demonstrates a rare etiology of painful erections with a unique presentation. To the authors’ knowledge, it is also the first report of MRI with intracavernosal injection of trimix to assess for a specific cause of painful erections.
