A group of 1135 edentulous patients was investigated radiographically and clinically to determine the relation between elongated styloid processes and four symptoms frequently encountered in patients suffering from Eagle's syndrome. The radiologic finding of elongated styloid processes and/or ossification of the stylomandibular or stylohyoid ligaments occurred in about 30% of the patients. In f...

Mobius syndrome is a congenital neuromuscular disorder characterized by both inability to abduct the eyes and facial weakness [1] . It is classified into four groups on the basis of whether the primary abnormalities are diffuse (group 1), in the abducens and facial nerves (group II), or nuclei (group Ill), or lie outside the CNS (group IV) [2]. Although the radiologic findings of the musculoske...

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...

We describe a case of a 63-year-old male with complicated Bouveret's syndrome, both in its presentation and in its management. Bouveret's syndrome is a rare cause of gastric outlet obstruction resulting from mechanical obstruction from gallstones at the pyloroduodenal segment. As Bouveret's syndrome can be a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for clinicians, we aim to identify clinical and ra...

We report unilateral megalencephaly in a 14-year-old girl with linear sebaceous nevus syndrome. A review of the radiologic findings in this case and in previously reported cases suggests that the seizures and developmental delay in this neurocutaneous syndrome are related to the migration anomaly of unilateral megalencephaly.

The Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by lissencephaly, cerebellar and retinal malformations, and congenital muscular dystrophy. We report a new case of WWS identified with the aid of cranial MR and briefly review the radiologic findings of this lethal syndrome.

Several systemic diseases share clinical, pathologic and radiologic characteristics. This article emphasizes similarities and differences in the clinical and chest radiographic manifestations of six diseases with both pulmonary and renal abnormalities-Goodpasture's syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, lymphomatoid granulomatosis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and sclerode...

Highly active antiretroviral therapy for AIDS sometimes engenders inflammatory manifestations resulting from an inappropriate and unbalanced immune-system restoration, called Immune Reconstitution inflammatory Syndrome, which, in turn, can unmask a subclinical infection/pathology. Despite our patient's evident syndrome, the atypical clinical, microbiologic and radiologic feature of Pneumocystis...
