Thoracolumbar paraspinal myonecrosis can be developed with various etiologies. It can induce compartment syndrome of spinal muscles and cause elevated pressure on back muscles, resulting in severe back pain. Thoracolumbar paraspinal myonecrosis is a very rare disease. There are only a few studies about paraspinal myonecrosis. Here we report a case of a spontaneous thoracolumbar paraspinal myone...

Cutis laxa (CL) is a rare congenital and acquired disorder characterized by loose and redundant skin with reduced elasticity. Three types of congenital cutis laxa have been recognized. Other findings are pulmonary emphysema, bronchiectasia, hernia and diverticulosis. We describe a female neonate involved by cutis laxa syndrome and a positive family history. We focus on the radiologic findings o...

Radiologic findings of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), a novel coronavirus infection, have been rarely reported. We report a 30-year-old male presented with fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, who was diagnosed with MERS. A chest computed tomographic scan revealed rapidly developed multifocal nodular consolidations with ground-glass opacity halo and mixed consolidation, mainly in the ...

Cushing’s syndrome (CS) occurs rarely during pregnancy. CS can be caused by prolonged abnormal exposure to excess glucocorticoids leading to special and significant signs and symptoms. It is often difficult to diagnose pathological hypercortisolism in pregnant women since some symptoms of the disease might be due to a complicated pregnancy, including preeclampsia or gestational diabetes. In thi...

Sixty-three patients with third cranial nerve palsies (CNPs), either isolated (31) or in association with other neurologic deficits (32), underwent neuroophthalmologic and neuroradiologic evaluation. Discrepancies between the clinical and radiologic evaluations were analyzed and useful clinical presenting symptoms were identified. Microvascular infarction secondary to diabetes mellitus and/or h...

Acute mercury inhalation poisoning is a rare cause of acute lung injury. It is usually fatal because of progressive pulmonary failure. We experienced a patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after illicit use of mercury vapor for hemorrhoid treatment; he developed acute chemical pneumonitis following exposure to mercury vapor. Prompt treatment with corticosteroids and penicilla...

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), a term coined in 1996, describes a clinico-radiologic entity characterised by headache, seizures, decreased vision, impaired consciousness and white matter oedema in bilateral occipito-parietal regions [1]. Hypertensive encephalopathy, eclampsia, immunosuppressive/cytotoxic drugs, organ transplantation, renal disease, autoimmune diseases and ...

Solitary median maxillary central incisor (SMMCI) coexists in 34%-65% of patients initially diagnosed with congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis. SMMCI, a genetic syndrome, warrants consideration for further screening because of its high prevalence of other diagnostic possibilities-specifically central defects, like nasal obstruction and hypothalamo-pituitary axis abnormalities. We report...

Abstract As concomitant hyperlaxity has been identified as an independent risk factor for failure following anterior shoulder stabilization, the treatment of this special pathology remains challenging. There is a broad consensus that clear differentiation to multidirectional instability and isolated anteroinferior should be ensured avoid unsatisfactory outcomes. Typical features patient collect...

Gorlin syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by tumor preponderance and developmental defects. Diagnosis traditionally made based on clinical criteria, including the presence of major features, such as multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), palmar plantar pits, jaw keratocysts, falcine calcification, well minor skeletal radiologic abnormalities. predominantly caused mutations...
