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.

Can magnetic-resonance imaging help elucidate natural history of breast cancer multicentricity?

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).

ABSTRACTA 65-year-old man developed bilateral vision loss 4 months after magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated no lesion in the vicinity of the optic chiasm, hypothalamus, and suprasellar tissues. Repeat computed tomography 3 months later showed a predominantly cystic mass of the suprasellar cistern with extension into the anterior third ventricle, which histologically was a craniopharyngioma. The clinical course of this case fuels the controversy whether craniopharyngiomas arise from embryonic rests or can be acquired. From a clinical perspective, it raises questions about when to obtain imaging studies dedicated to the chiasm and the appropriate interval in which a scan should be repeated to exclude structural causes of bilateral vision loss.
