We report here on the diffusion-weighted imaging of unusual white matter lesions in a case of Menkes disease. On the initial MR imaging, the white matter lesions were localized in the deep periventricular white matter in the absence of diffuse cortical atrophy. The lesion showed diffuse high signal on the diffusion-weighted images and diffuse progression and persistent hyperintensity on the fol...

Figure 1. Computed tomography of the chest demonstrates long, dilated bronchi (short arrow), as well as the cystic " signet ring " lesions (long arrow), which are consistent with bronchiectasis. Diagnosis: common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) with epidermodysplasia verruciformis-like lesions. Epidermodysplasia verruciformis was classically described as a genetic condition involving diffuse w...

OBJECTIVES Hybrid coronary revascularization, performing a left internal thoracic artery (LITA) to left anterior descending (LAD) bypass followed by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a non-LAD coronary artery lesion, represents an evolving revascularization strategy. It utilizes the survival benefit of the LITA-to-LAD bypass, while providing complete revascularization with PCI to a no...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Many gastrointestinal tumors appearing as diffuse circumferential malignancies, for example, diffuse signet ring adenocarcinoma and lymphoma, might primarily involve the submucosal layer and hence are difficult to diagnose because they frequently yield negative endoscopic biopsies. This main aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and EUS-gu...

Abstract Background Urinary bladder tumors are the most common type of detected in patients with gross hematuria. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is an accurate method for detecting lesions. This review aims to describe features MDCT and possible values distinguishing these lesions bladder. Main body In this review, we discuss role evaluation cancer a broad spectrum lesions, including ...

Bone metastasis is the most common diagnosis considered for lytic lesions in the bone. Parathyroid cancer presenting as overt bone disease with diffuse lytic lesions secondary to untreated hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is a rare entity nowadays. We report the case of a 50-year-old Chinese lady who presented with diffuse bone lesions consistent with Brown tumours, vertebral body collapse and hyperca...

UNLABELLED New imaging techniques have been introduced to assess the extent and severity of disease in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. The aim of our study was to compare newer imaging modalities-such as (18)F-FDG PET/CT, (99m)Tc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile ((99m)Tc-MIBI) scintigraphy, and MRI-to assess their relative contribution in the evaluation of MM patients at diagnosis. METHODS Thirty-th...

BACKGROUND The interventricular septal hematoma (IVSH) is a rare and potentially lethal finding. There are variously reported etiologies including instrumental damages during cardiac interventions. Although there are not enough studies available, conservative management is considered as a preferable approach in stable patients. CASE REPORT A 45-year man smoker with the previous history of per...

OBJECTIVES Many patients referred for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) today have diffusely diseased coronary vessels, and some of them may require coronary endarterectomy to provide adequate revascularization. Most reports of coronary endarterectomy describe an on-pump procedure. As off-pump coronary artery bypass graft has become safer and more routine, there is renewed interest in off-p...
