Two patients evaluated for metamorphopsia were noted to have inferotemporal retinal pigment epithelium elevations formed by a yellowish lesion. Fluorescein angiography showed granular hyperfluorescence with late leakage, which was interpreted as an occult choroidal neovascularization. One patient underwent photodynamic therapy. In both patients, neither vitreous cells nor neurologic manifestati...

A 31 year old male with a previous history of testicular seminoma with complete reponse after orchiectomy and three cycles of BEP scheme, was referred for 18F-FDG PET/CT with a standard procedure for progressive decline consistent in spinal pain, gait difficulty and Charcot’s neurologic triad (scanning speech, intention tremor and nystagmus) initiated eight month after third course of chemother...

Medulloblastoma is a rare and aggressive tumor of the brain that usually occurs in children or young adults with a tendency to metastasize. The incidence in infant is rare. We came across one such child who presented with slight disorientation, vomiting, irritable personality and somewhat large size head. The clinical, radiological preoperative diagnosis was space occupying lesion in the poster...

We report an isolated giant solid macronodular tuberculoma in an 8-year-old boy. A large-space-occupying lesion in the right lobe with nodular surface and hard consistency mimicked liver malignancy. This case is unusual as the ultrasonography, computed tomography scan, and aspiration cytology were all suggestive of a malignant tumor. Laparotomy confirmed a 15 x 10 cm nodular tumor present in th...

OBJECTIVE A wide spectrum of space-occupying soft-tissue lesions may be discovered on MRI studies, either as incidental findings or as palpable or symptomatic masses. Characterization of a lesion as benign or indeterminate is the most important step toward optimal treatment and avoidance of unnecessary biopsy or surgical intervention. CONCLUSION The systemic MRI interpretation approach presen...

Seventy cases of space-occupying lesions in the eyeball and 140 extraocular masses in the orbit were explored by both sonography and compute tomography (CT). The merits of each method were demonstrated relative to defining the location, extension, and nature of the lesion. In adults with ocular masses, sonography is usually sufficient. For retinoblastoma, CT is usually necessary to rule out an ...

In an infant of 15 months with the diencephalic syndrome, urinary excretion of norepinephrine was moderately raised and epinephrine greatly so. It is suggested that catecholamine secretion may be due to sympathetic stimulation at the level of the diencephalon, by a space-occupying lesion pressing on the thalamohypothalamic pathway. Some of the symptoms of the diencephalic syndrome such as eupho...

The use of combined isotope and ultrasonic scanning in the diagnosis of amoebic liver abscess is described, together with details of three cases of this condition seen in the Bristol area in a period of two years. The addition of ultrasonic scanning greatly increases the accuracy of diagnosis by demonstrating a fluid-filled, space-occupying lesion and should ideally be employed whenever liver a...

Serious infection in the paranasal sinuses may present with symptoms suggestive of neurological disease and thus lead to delay in the diagnosis and subsequent treatment. We present three such cases inwhom the initial diagnoses had been acute optic neuritis, a posterior communicating aneurysm and an intracranial space occupying lesion. The fourth patient had meningitis but the paranasal sinuses ...
