Cerebral hydatid disease is very rare, representing only 2% of all cerebral space occupying lesions even in the countries where the disease is endemic. Intracranial hydatid cysts are more common in children and occur more frequently in the supratentorial space. The aim of this paper is to describe the characteristic features of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ...

Computed tomography (CT) has been a major advance in its diagnosis and management1. For unknown reasons, these tuberculomas sometimes become manifest, or expand, during successful treatment for tuberculosis elsewhere in the body'-5. So far, only about ...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Nonchordomatous lesions of the clivus are rare entities. Nasopharyngeal radium irradiation (NRI) treatment consists of application of radium to the posterior nasopharynx near the orifice of the Eustachian tubes, an area adjacent to the clivus. Here we present a unique case of a patient with a history of NRI 70 years prior to presentation with a space-occupying clival lesio...

We find few cases of cecal web presenting in adult patient as a mass lesion (Gayner et al., 1977) or radiologically space occupying lesion (Raymond et al., 1983; Guttman et al., 1975) but an extensive search of published reports failed to find a case of the cecal web or similar abnormality in neonatal group presenting as an acute intestinal obstruction. Cecal web cas...
