DESCRIPTION A 20-year-old man with a previous gunshot to the left mandible presented with left facial swelling and trismus after being assaulted in the face with a closed fist. Mouth opening from maxillary to mandibular central incisors was limited to 3 cm. Dedicated maxillomandibular computed tomographic (CT) scan demonstrated an isolated left zygomatic arch fracture impinging the coronoid of ...

Five cases with a sudden onset of dysarthria in the setting of hypertension are presented. No case had limb weakness or other neurological deficits. Computed tomographic scan demonstrated a small low density lesion in the anterior part of the internal capsule or the adjacent corona radiata. All cases showed a good recovery from dysarthria within two to four weeks.

Sonographic imaging of the brain was accomplished through a burr hole using a small, real-time, 5 MHz transducer in five patients. Brain tumors were accurately imaged, corresponding closely in morphology to the computed tomographic scan. Intraoperative sonography through a burr hole allows flexibility in technique and greatly facilitates brain biopsy procedures.

Objective: To assess the extent of the disease and associated radiological findings preoperatively, by computed tomographic (CT) scan, in patients with extensive ethmoidal polyps. Study Design: Retrospective descriptive study Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted in Department of ENT Unit 1, Mayo Hospital associated with King Edward Medical University, Lahore. It spanned over a ...

A 45-year-old man presented with progressively increasing breathlessness, a dry cough, drenching night sweats, and significant weight loss. Physical examination identified enlarged lymph nodes in both sides of the neck and both supraclavicular fossae. A chest radiograph showed widening of the mediastinum, which a computed tomographic (CT) scan confirmed as being the result of lymph nodes of max...

pulmonary embolism is considered as a great masquerader due to its frequent nonspecific signs and symptoms. typically pulmonary embolism is under-diagnosed or over-diagnosed. in this study a patient with pulmonary embolism is reported in which the patient exhibited two unusual manifestations namely; right upper quadrant abdominal pain and st-t elevation in anterior precordial leads. due to the ...

introduction: chest x-ray (cxr) is the simplest diagnostic tool of community acquired pneumonia (cap), but it has some limitation. therefore, the aim of this study is comparing the diagnostic accuracy of cxr and chest ultrasonography (cus) in detection of cap. methods: in the present study, a consecutive sample of suspected patients with cap was underwent cus, cxr, and chest computed tomography...

A patient presented with fever, haemoptysis and large bilateral perihilar masses. Histology proved that these were pulmonary artery aneurysms due to pulmonary vasculitis, as a manifestation of Behçet's disease. It is suggested that a routine dynamic computed tomographic (CT) scan should be performed in the evaluation of such cases.

DESCRIPTION A 63-year-old man came in our clinic with a giant basal cell tumor, which had appeared 6 years ago. The computed tomographic scan showed no infiltration of the underlying bone; no intracranial tumoral extensions. The excisional defect was covered by a frontal flap and a cheek advancement flap.

DESCRIPTION A 2-year-old boy presented with an atypical craniofacial cleft going through the right nostril with a soft-tissue extension of 2 × 1 cm. A computed tomographic scan showed bony involvement of the right nasal bone, right frontal bone, anterior cribriform plate anomalies, and no encephalocele.
