abstract background: a tumefactive lesion of central nervous system (cns) is defined as a mass-like lesion with a size greater than 2 cm in brain (magnetic resonance imaging) mri. neuroimaging may help to distinguish the nature of a tumefactive lesion and therefore can prevent an unnecessary brain biopsy. method: in this paper, we have emphasized on determining the nature of a cns tumefactive l...

AIM To investigate the characteristic radiologic findings of cryptogenic multifocal ulcerous stenosing enteritis (CMUSE) which can be differentiated from other similar bowel disease and to assess their clinical behavior. METHODS Twenty pathologically and clinically confirmed CMUSE patients (males:females = 8:12; mean age: 40.4 years) between March 2002 and August 2015 from seven academic cent...

Choledochodoudenal fistula is an uncommon bilio-enteric with clinical presentation ranging from having no symptoms to frank cholangitis. The causes of choledochodoudenal are multiple, bile duct stones being the most common. Duodenal ulcer rarely source fistula. Clinical diagnosis defies acumen, and high-quality imaging including endoscopic or radiologic required for confirmation. Management not...

Aneurysmal bone cyst originating from the surface of the bone, either within the cortex or subperiosteally, is an uncommon anatomic subtype. This article reports the clinical and radiologic evaluations and treatment outcomes of 10 patients with surface aneurysmal bone cysts that were surgically treated between 1982 and 2014. Mean age at the time of surgery was 22.4 years (range, 11-44 years). A...

The diagnosis is primarily based on clinical criteria because there are no specific diagnostic laboratory tests available and because of the non-specificity of the histopathologic findings. The multiorgan involvement of Behcet’s disease can be characterized. Here we will describe the radiological findings consisting of pulmonary, cardiovascular, neurologic, and abdominal involvement in Behcet’s...

Recent years have witnessed impressive advances in the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with varying success either to contribute to patient clinical work up aimed at establishing a diagnosis of degenerative dementia, as well as to monitor disease progression. Conventional MRI of the brain has an important role in differentiating Alzheimer Disease (AD) from other pathologies, including n...
