Neurocysticercosis is one of the common space occupying lesion of brain in Asian countries. Cysticercosis of brain can present in variable forms with or without classic scolex in cyst. As they are so common and treatable cause of new onset seizure, identification of such pathology is crucial in imaging. We are presenting a cystic lesion of brain of middle aged patient with spontaneous onset of ...

Neonatal acute gastric volvulus is rare and often associated with diaphragmatic anomalies. Patients usually present with vomiting and respiratory distress, but excessive salivation, failure to pass a nasogastric tube beyond 20 cms and the presence of a space occupying thoracic lesion should also prompt a search for the entity. The authors describe a case presenting with these atypical findings ...

Primary hepatic leiomyosarcoma is very rare and no primary myxoid leiomyosarcoma in the liver has been reported yet. Most cystic space-occupying lesions in the liver are benign in nature. But, rarely, malignancy could appear as a cystic lesion by ultrasonographic examination. A 64-year-old woman with a huge cystic mass detected by hepatic ultrasonography was diagnosed as primary hepatic myxoid ...

Any space-occupying lesion in the carpal tunnel can present with median nerve compression and the symptomatology of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Typically, history and physical examination reveal sufficient findings to warrant further investigation with electrophysiologic testing; imaging studies, however, are not routinely considered. Here, we present a case of CTS resulting from carpal tunne...

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 in whom 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...

Aim: To explore the value and prospects of the combined vessel resection with reconstruction techniques in space-occupying lesion surgical treatment. Method: We collected and analyzed clinical data of patients received combined with vessel resection and reconstruction techniques surgery in department of hepatobiliary surgery in our hospital from May 2007 to November 2012, and concluded experien...

We reviewed cases of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection of the central nervous system (CNS) that initially masqueraded as tumors in 37 of 543 consecutive patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and CMV who were seen at the Pasteur Institute Hospital and Saint-Louis Hospital (Paris) between 1992 and 1994. We detail the clinical features of three patients who presented with ring-en...
