This study reports the case of a 61-year-old man with right upper quadrant pain who underwent abdominal computed tomography examination. A solid lesion originating from the biliary tract was detected on the images. While evaluating the vascular structures, the splenic artery was seen to directly originate from the abdominal aorta.

We report a case of Alexander's disease in a black South African boy of 9 years. The child presented with a grossly abnormal stooped posture, generalised weakness, and slurred nasal speech. Computerised tomography revealed diffuse low radio-density confined to the white matter, and enlarged ventricles. Cerebral biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. The histopathological and electron microscopic featu...

This is a report of a 20-year-old Nigerian man with a 15-year history of exophthalmos and nasal blockage caused by rhinoscleromatous. The diagnosis was made by histopathological examination of a biopsy specimen taken from the nasal passages. Despite protracted antibiotic therapy the patient experienced recurrent exophthalmos. Computerised axial tomography and sinus films showed the lesion to ha...

Unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy (UAIM) is an uncommon inflammatory disease of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) that affects young adults. The variability of clinical features of UAIM makes the diagnosis cumbersome. We report on a 25-year-old man with sudden loss of visual acuity (VA) and a central scotoma in his right eye. Fluorescein angiography localised the lesion in the RPE. Mic...

Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformation (CPAM) is a rare abnormality of pulmonary airway malformation and may remain undiagnosed until it discovered as an incidental finding later in life. Reported here are two cases CPAM, seven-month-old infant two-year-old toddler. A ex-premature male presented with recurrent pneumonia failure to thrive.

UNLABELLED Right atrial appendage aneurysms (RAAAs) are rarely encountered. If symptomatic, they present with atrial arrhythmias or embolic events. Surgical resection is indicated for symptomatic patients. We describe a 65-year-old man presenting with palpitation for 6 months. Electrocardiogram showed atrial flutter. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a large thin-walled cystic mass anteri...

18-Fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computerised tomography (FDG PET/CT) is commonly used in the management of patients with lymphomas and is recommended for both initial staging and response assessment after treatment in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma. Despite the FDG avidity of follicular lymphoma (FL), FDG PET/CT is not yet applied in standar...

Seventy-six children had computerized tomography scans as part of an investigation of mental subnormality; most of them are severely retarded and all those over age 5 years attend special schools. Seventy-two per cent of the children had normal scans. Twenty per cent showed cerebral atrophy and in only 8% was there a specific abnormality (agenesis of corpus callosum, arachnoid cyst, communicati...

BACKGROUND Sarcoidosis of the genital tract is a rare condition. Ovarian manifestation of this disease is rarer still. CASE PRESENTATION The case presented here represents ovarian manifestation of sarcoidosis. At the point of referral to our hospital, based on computerised tomography (CT) ovarian carcinoma was a differential diagnosis. Further magnetic resonance imaging along with CT guided b...
