Introduction. Ileal leiomyosarcoma is unusual form of malignant gastrointestinal tumor. Often insidious in clinical presentation, it frequently presents a diagnostic challenge. Occasionally, correct diagnosis finally established due to emergency situation. The aim this study present the role magnetic enterography determining precise cause small bowel dilation. Case outline. A 59-year-old female...

Capsule endoscopy was launched at the beginning of this millennium and has since become a well-established tool for evaluating the entire small bowel for manifold pathologies. CE far exceeded our early expectations by providing us with a tool to establish the correct diagnosis for such elusive gastrointestinal conditions as obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn's disease, polyposis syndrome ...

It is an exciting time for the study of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). When Burrill Bernard Crohn published his manuscript titled “Regional Ileitis: A Pathologic and Clinical Entity” in 1932 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, he likely could not have anticipated the subsequent intrigue and discoveries in the study of IBD. As a gastroenterology trainee, I have learned of the ...

basic physical principles of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (n.m.r.i), a nonionizing medical imaging technique, are described. principles of nmri with other conventional imaging methods, ie, isotope scanning, ultrasonography and radiography have been compared. t1 and t2 and spin density (s.d.) factors and different image construction techniques based on their different combinations is discu...

intracranial gliosis has no typical clinical signals or imaging characteristics. therefore, it can be easily misdiagnosed as neoplasm. hereby, we report a unique case of gliosis that grew outward from the surface of the brain. mri depicted its signal and enhancement pattern similar to the cerebral gray matter. the diagnosis was confirmed by pathology and immunohistochemistry. although it was di...

abstract a patient with a 3-month history of headache refractory to pain medication was admitted. the ct scan and mri showed evidence of a posterior fossa mass. this was pathologically confirmed as an extra medullary plasmacytoma (emp). he had a pathologic fracture of the left humerus 7 years ago while the radiologist was unaware at the time of diagnosis. a solitary bone plasmacytoma (sbp) was ...

intracranial lipoma is an uncommon entity. a rare type of tumor in the internal auditory canal (iac) and the cerebellopontine angle (cpa) is lipoma. there are a few case reports in the literature related to intravestibular lipoma. herein, we report a case of lipomas within the cerebellopontine angle and vestibule of the inner ear in a patient with tinnitus and dizziness. the patient was evaluat...

results compared to pre-op scores, pf, ss, and vas scores for back, buttock and leg pain had a significant mean decrease at 6, 12, 24 months post-op (p < 0.05). based on the zcq and vas scores, a success rate of 79% (27.34), 78% (30.38) and 74% (17.23) were achieved at six months, 12 months, and 24 months respectively. conclusions x-stop is a safe and effective treatment for nic that provides m...

introduction cardiac hydatid cysts are rare and represent less than 2% of all hydatid cases. they can occur as part of a widespread systemic infection or an isolated event. case presentation here, we presented a case of cardiac hydatid cyst in interventricular septum. conclusions the case presented had some findings that suggested the specific diagnosis of hydatid cyst.

introduction: interhemispheric transmission of signal is done by corpus callosum (cc) as the largest fiber tract in brain. cc comprised 5 segments of rostrum, genu, body, isthmus, and splenium. contradictory reports exist about sexual dimorphism of cc. we designed this study to assess probable sexual differences of cc and its different parts in men and women. methods: we analyzed magnetic reson...
