Calcific tendinitis of the shoulder joint, also known as chemical furuncle of the shoulder, causes intense shoulder pain and usually occurs within 1–2 cm from the insertion of the rotator cuff. We experienced a rare case of calcific tendinitis in the posterosuperior labrum of the shoulder joint in a 39-year-old male patient who presented with severe pain and weakness in the right shoulder. Radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings showed calcific tendinitis in the posterosuperior labrum of the shoulder joint. A 1-week attempt at conservative treatment failed, so the calcified deposit in the posterosuperior labrum was arthroscopically removed. The patient’s symptoms were completely relieved, and satisfactory clinical outcomes were achieved. Postoperative follow-up X-ray and MRI showed no recurrence of calcific tendinitis.

The presence of lobulated tumour arising from immature adipose tissue is called lipoblastoma when occurring as localised or discrete lesion, and lipoblastomatosis when spread diffusely. The purpose of this case study is to report a case of an 18 – year old man who presented with lipoblastoma in the left sublingual space which was found to be in close proximity with the left sublingual gland. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was taken and showed the tumour was confined within the sublingual space and no penetration was noted inferiorly through the mylohyoid muscle. Tumour dimension measured clinically was 3 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm and the anterior margin of the tumour crossed the midline and entered into the right sublingual space. Complete excision with sparing of neurovascular bundle was performed under general anaesthesia. Follow-up of 2 months showed complete remission of the lesion without any complications.

The authors report four cases of headache and other symptomatology related to the syndrome of intracranial hypotension. They were seen in a routine clinical practice over the past 3 years. The clinical features, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and follow-up of these patients are described. Review of the prior literature on the topic is also included. All four patients presented with orthostatic headache syndrome. Three of the four demonstrated diffuse leptomeningeal thickening and enhancement on MRI studies. One subsequently developed a subdural effusion. One patient demonstrated downward displacement of the posterior fossa initially, which resolved on follow-up MRI scanning. Possible pathophysiologies of the syndrome are discussed.

Here presented is a case involving a 44-year-old man with a chief complaint of sharp lateral right-sided rib pain with notable radiation to the anterior portion of the thorax and minor radiation around the lateral back. The etiology of the pain and radiculopathy, which was initially attributed to a right-sided rib fracture, was later accurately credited to a paraspinal abscess discovered on a lateral X-ray of the thoracic spine. Subsequently, studies including Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT), and bone scan all confirmed the diagnosis of a paraspinal abscess between the right lobe and its neighboring T9 and T10 vertebrae. The mass was biopsied and methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus was isolated. Appropriate surgical and medical intervention was possible due to the early diagnosis of the abscess.

The multiseptate bladder is a congenital bladder anomaly that is very rare and often accompanied by other congenital abnormalities. This condition could result in intravesical obstruction and kidney failure in more serious conditions. A 3-year-old girl without any complaint was consulted by the Pediatric Surgery Department with postoperative cloacal type malformation anorectal (MAR) postero-sagittal anorecto-vagino-urethroplasty (PSARVUP) + sigmoidectomy. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the pelvis showed the appearance of four interconnected multiple fluid lesions. Cystoscopy was performed and found many septa with varied positions and forms. From the cystography during the operation, it was seen duplication of the right and left bladder. There was no further operative treatment in the field of urology because no urinary tract obstruction and normal renal function were found in this study.

Osteomyelitis from a retained foreign body should be included in the differential diagnosis of any osteolytic lesion of the foot. We report here a case of a 59-year-old man who presented with swelling over the dorsolateral aspect of the right foot. Plain x-ray showed an osteolytic lesion that mimicked a pseudotumor. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed multilocular fluid collection over the right cuboid with a hypointense lesion over the plantar fascia. The patient underwent surgery and a rubber fragment (1 cm × 0.8 cm) was removed from his foot that had been present for two years following a stabbing injury. The patient fully recovered without complication or disability.

Peripapillary Staphyloma

Purpose: We reported the occurrence of a congenital unilateral huge peripapillary staphyloma in association with craniofacial clefts for the first time. Case report: A 1-year-old boy presented with a large defect on his left eyelid, a wide oblique columella nasi and an atypical wedge-shaped extension of the unilateral anterior hairline. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations revealed there were cracks on his nasal septum, palate, and superior alveolar midline. Moreover, we surprisingly uncovered a gourd-shaped eyeball with the compressed optic nerve on the right side, while the right eye seemed normal from appearance. Under anaesthesia, fundus examination of the right eye showed a 15 mm-deep excavation surrounding the optic disc with defective choroid and dysplastic optic papilla. We reconstructed the left eyelid of the patient to protect his cornea and would make other solutions according to the results of follow-up. Conclusion: Peripapillary staphyloma and craniofacial clefts are two dissimilar rare congenital anomalies. In this patient, we firstly observed the co-existence of the two defects, which may provide the experience to the diagnosis and treatment of peripapillary staphyloma and craniofacial clefts. This case also gives us the pathogenic inspiration for further studies of peripapillary staphyloma and craniofacial clefts.

Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to correlate lumbosacral spinal ultrasound (LUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in patients with lumbosacral spinal dysraphisms to evaluate the value of LUS in diagnosis, intraoperative use, and during follow-up of those patients. Methods A total of 24 patients aged up to 6 years old were operated for lumbosacral spinal dysraphisms at the Neurosurgery Department of Zagazig University hospitals during the period from January 2017 to August 2018. All patients were investigated preoperatively, intraoperatively, and on follow-up by LUS to compare the data with preoperative and follow-up MRI of the spine. Results The median age was 11 months at the time of surgery. The most common anatomical description from the LUS study was thickened filum (18 cases). Using MRI findings as the standard reference, the sensitivity of LUS in detecting a thickened filum was 77.8% preoperatively and 62.5% postoperatively, with a specificity of 100%. The sensitivity and specificity of detecting conus level, solid masses, and cystic masses were 100%. Conclusions Lumbosacral spinal dysraphisms can be evaluated well by ultrasound imaging in age group up to 6 years old with 100% specificity (true negative) in comparison with MRI.

We present a case of acute cerebellar ataxia and myoclonus with detected anti-GFAP-antibodies in a patient recently recovered from COVID-19. Main symptoms consisted of acute gait and limb ataxia and myoclonus. The patient improved considerably upon treatment with high-dose intravenous (IV) steroids. While cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were unremarkable, anti-GFAP-antibodies were detected in the patient’s serum and disappeared upon clinical remission at a 3-month follow-up. This case suggests that anti-GFAP-antibodies might be associated with some of the increasingly observed cases of postinfectious acute cerebellar ataxias in COVID-19 patients and aid in the diagnosis of this autoimmune complication. We recommend searching for these antibodies in serum and CSF in suspected cases. Early steroid treatment may prove beneficial for these patients.

Cerebellar Cortical Degeneration

The aim of the study was to determine the diagnostic usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAER) in dogs suspected of having cerebellar cortical degeneration (CCD). In the years 2009–2011, six dogs with suspected CCD were examined. Both MRI and BAER examinations revealed abnormalities in all dogs (100%). By MRI, T2-weighted midsagittal images revealed an increased amount of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) surrounding the cerebellum within the sulci of the folia in all dogs (100%). In 4 out of the 6 dogs (66.66%), cerebellar hypoplasia was more visible in the region of the dorsal cerebellar lobules. In 5 out of the 6 dogs (83.33%), the fourth ventricle was enlarged. In our studies, the brain to cerebellum ratio evaluated on the midsagittal image was 11.93%, in comparison to 14.9% in normal dogs. By BAER examination, the amplitude of the first and second waves was diminished and III–V interlatency was prolonged in 5 out of the 6 dogs (83.33%). In one out of the 6 dogs (16.67%), only the III–V interlatency was prolonged. In one dog (16.67%), somato-nervous deafness in the left ear was detected, whereas in the right ear the III–V interlatency was prolonged. MRI of the cerebellum is a reliable method for the antemortem diagnosis of CCD in American Staffordshire terriers, as is BAER examination. BAER is an objective diagnostic tool, which — along with other diagnostic modalities — can be helpful in the assessment, management and follow-up of dogs with cerebellar abiotrophy. It proved to be useful in determining the severity of neurological lesions in comparison to MRI findings, as well as in assessing the prognosis.
