ABSTRACT A 23 years old patient had presented with history of 2 to 3 cm white thread protruding out of anal orifice and pricking pain while defecating. On examination found to have impacted Cu-T in postfornix. X-ray and CT-scan delineated exact position of Cu-T. Laparoscopic retrieval was done successfully. Complications of fecal contamination was avoided by meticulous bowel preparation.

Systemic Sarcoidosis

Background: Sarcoidosis is only revealed in 3% of the cases among Caucasians by ophthalmic damage and, when it does, it presupposes that the visceral impairment has remained silent so far. In this article, the exceptional case of a patient with systemic sarcoidosis revealed by unilateral exophthalmia is reported. Case presentation: The patient is a female with no history of substantial pathology. She had a unilateral right exophthalmia and ptosis evolving over 3 years. A dyspnea and dry cough were also reported with a duration of 1 year. The chest X-ray and CT scan revealed bilateral hilar opacities and mediastinal lymphadenopathy that lead to the suspicion of sarcoidosis. The cerebro-orbital CT scan led to the classification of the patient’s exophthalmia as Grade I and eliminated the possibility of other aetiologies. The mediastinoscopy indicated a granulomatous adenitis with no caseous necrosis, which allowed the diagnosis of a mediastinopulmonary sarcoidosis. Discussion and conclusion: The diagnostic approach to exophthalmia should involve a systematic search for sarcoidosis, although this aetiology remains exceptional.

Chest X Ray

e17064 Background: Surveillance of stage I GCTs includes periodic imaging of chest, abdomen and pelvis. Currently the AUA guidelines recommends CT scan of the abdomen with or without the pelvis as well as chest x ray during active surveillance for these patients. Efforts to modify the surveillance protocols aim to minimize radiation exposure in this young patient population. Per our institutional protocol, we limit cross sectional imaging to CT of the abdomen only during surveillance of stage I disease. Here we report our outcomes to determine whether any recurrence was missed or delayed based on this protocol. Methods: All patient with clinical stage I GCT who have been under active surveillance and completed at least 2 year follow up at our institution were selected using our institutional testis cancer database. Clinical and demographic information were reviewed including recurrence pattern and tumor marker status at time of recurrence. Results: A total of 89 patients who had complete follow up information in the database were included in the study. 49/89 (55%) patients had non-seminoma or mixed GCT histology. 5/89 (5%) patients had history of cryptorchidism and 16/89 (18%) patients had history of inguinal surgery. 14/89 (15%) had relapse at a median of 6.8 months. Recurrence was first detected on surveillance imaging (Imaging recurrence) in 11/14 (78%), by rising tumor markers (marker recurrence) in 2/14 (14%), and on physical exam (clinical recurrence) in 1/14 (7%) patients. Of patients with marker or clinical recurrence, only one had evidence of retroperitoneal recurrence which was detectable by CT abdomen and the other two had lung metastasis detected by chest X ray. Only one patient with imaging recurrence had pelvic lymphadenopathy which was large enough to be seen on CT abdomen. Conclusions: CT scan of the abdomen only in combination with chest imaging, tumor markers and physical exam detected 100% of recurrences in this series. CT pelvis can be safely omitted during active surveillance of stage I GCT. Future modification in guidelines for surveillance protocols of stage I GCT may be warranted with further mounting evidence.

The syndrome of constant otorrhea, headache, diplopia and rarely ipsilateral Horner’s syndrome, which is attributed to inflammation of the petrous apex, is known as Gradenigo’s syndrome. We report a case of Gradenigo’s syndrome, which was 50 yrs old man who presented with 6 months history of left-sided headache, facial pain, diplopia and dropping of left eyelid. Examination demonstrated a left eye lateral gaze palsy, diplopia, and dropping of left eyelid, otoscopy revealed a congested left tympanic membrane. X-ray mastoid Townes view shows mastoid air cell are reduced on left side. CT scan study confirmed mastoid air cell are reduced and scleroses on left side and MRI shows T1 hypo & T2 & FLAIR hyperintense areas are on left mastoid region which consistent with Gradenigo’s Syndrome.

A 63 years old woman with history of diabetes and hypertension, presented for bone pain. Pelvic X Ray showed multiple osteoconsensant lesions of the iliac wings, the sacrum and the femurs (figure 1). CT scan objectified multiple hepatic metastases with a laterorectal mass (figure 2). Colonoscopy showed aspect of extrinsic compression. Endoscopic ultrasound objectified a rectal mucosal lesion of 5x3,5 centimeters appearing in contact with the prostate (figure 3). Histologically, hepatic biopsy confirmed a tumor proliferation that was made of two architectural aspects independent cells, and trabeculolobular classical endocrine architecture with expression of synaptophysin on immunochemistry

A 42-year-old female presented in Neurology Department of Sir Salimullah Medical College with gradually worsening difficulty in talking and eating for the last four months. Examination revealed dystonic tongue, macerated lips due to continuous drooling of saliva and aspirated lungs. She had no history of taking antiparkinsonian, neuroleptics or any other drugs causing dystonia. Chest X-ray revealed aspiration pneumonia corrected later by antibiotics. She was treated with botulinum toxin type-A. Twenty units of toxin was injected in six sites of the tongue. The dystonic tongue became normal by 24 hours. Subsequent 16 weeks follow up showed very good result and the patient now can talk and eat normally. (J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2006; 24: 75-78)

AbstractX-ray topography provides a non-destructive method of mapping point-by-point variations in orientation and reflecting power within crystals. The discovery, made by several workers independently, that in nearly perfect crystals it was possible to detect individual dislocations by X-ray diffraction contrast started an epoch of rapid exploitation of X-ray topography as a new, general method for assessing crystal perfection. Another discovery, that of X-ray Pendellösung, led to important theoretical developments in X-ray diffraction theory and to a new and precise method for measuring structure factors on an absolute scale. Other highlights picked out for mention are studies of Frank-Read dislocation sources, the discovery of long dislocation helices and lines of coaxial dislocation loops in aluminium, of internal magnetic domain structures in Fe-3 wt.% Si, and of stacking faults in silicon and natural diamonds.

Medical Exposure

Objective: Physicians who often request for computed tomography (CT) scan examinations are expected to have sound knowledge of radiation exposure (risks) to patients in line with the basic radiation protection principles according to the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), the Protection of Persons Undergoing Medical Exposure or Treatment (POPUMET), and the Ionizing Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations (IR(ME)R). The aim is to assess the level of requesting physicians’ knowledge of ionizing radiation from CT scan examinations in two Nigerian tertiary hospitals. Materials and Methods: An 18-item-based questionnaire was distributed to 141 practicing medical doctors, excluding radiologists with work experience from 0 to >16 years in two major teaching hospitals in Nigeria with a return rate of 69%, using a voluntary sampling technique. Results: The results showed that 25% of the respondents identified CT thorax, abdomen, and pelvis examination as having the highest radiation risk, while 22% said that it was a conventional chest X-ray. Furthermore, 14% concluded that CT head had the highest risk while 9% gave their answer to be conventional abdominal X-ray. In addition, 17% inferred that magnetic resonance imaging had the highest radiation risk while 11% had no idea. Furthermore, 25.5% of the respondents have had training on ionizing radiation from CT scan examinations while 74.5% had no training. Majority (90%) of the respondents were not aware of the ICRP guidelines for requesting investigations with very little (<3%) or no knowledge (0%) on the POPUMET and the IR(ME)R respectively. Conclusion: There is low level of knowledge of ionizing radiation from CT scan examinations among requesting physicians in the study locations.
