Can ultrasound be of any help in the diagnosis of alveolar-interstitial syndrome? In a prospective study, we examined 250 consecutive patients in a medical intensive care unit: 121 patients with radiologic alveolar-interstitial syndrome (disseminated to the whole lung, n 5 92; localized, n 5 29) and 129 patients without radiologic evidence of alveolar-interstitial syndrome. The antero-lateral c...

Osteopoikilosis or spotted bone disease is a rare dysplasia of unknown etiology. It characterized by an abnormality in maturation process and often found incidentally on radiologic examination. This disease, which has autosomal dominant inheritance, numerous, annular oval, sclerotic lesions with regular borders. Although it frequently asymptomatic, rarely polyarthralgia joint swelling may occur...

Purpose of review Radiologic imaging is indispensible for the diagnosis and management of many neuroophthalmologic conditions. Advances in the radioimaging of neuro-ophthalmolgic disorders may evolve from the clinical or the radiological side, meaning there is a constant stream of new information for the clinician. Recent findings Functional MRI, diffusion tensor MRI, magnetization transfer ima...

Abstract Introduction/Objective Lady Windermere syndrome refers to Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) pulmonary disease with an isolated lingular or middle lobe pattern of involvement. This is thought be due habitual suppression the cough voluntarily. Typical demographics are that elderly female patient. Although etiology remains unclear high prevalence pectus excavatum, scoliosis and mitral val...

The authors present a case of isolated dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) in the transverse sinus, which developed six years after microvascular decompression caused by hemifacial spasm via suboccipital craniectomy. The lesion was successfully treated by transarterial embolization using Onyx. We reviewed the related radiologic and therapeutic features of DAVF involving an isolated sinus and des...

BACKGROUND Radiologic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE)-like lesion including pulmonary apical cap can be occasionally observed in clinical settings. However, the significance of radiologic PPFE-like lesion is unclear in connective tissue disease (CTD)-related interstitial lung disease (ILD). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 113 patients with CTD-related ILD were enrolled and assessed f...

Oncology patients often experience urgent or emergent medical complications that are a direct or indirect result of the underlying malignant condition and are first identified or clarified on radiologic imaging studies. The aim of this review is to identify, discuss, and illustrate some of the major thoracic complications in patients with primary intrathoracic or extrathoracic neoplasms; partic...

The complex interplay between hypernatremic osmotic disturbances and cerebral lesions is yet to be clarified. In this review, we discuss, on the basis of the reported data of hypernatremic CNS challenge in the adult population, the clinical and radiologic features of the condition. Our search captured 20 case studies and 1 case series with 30 patients in total who acquired acute hypernatremia d...

A variety of congenital syndromes affecting the face occur due to defects involving the first and second BAs. Radiographic evaluation of craniofacial deformities is necessary to define aberrant anatomy, plan surgical procedures, and evaluate the effects of craniofacial growth and surgical reconstructions. High-resolution CT has proved vital in determining the nature and extent of these syndrome...

Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis, a benign, slow-growing proliferation of the gingival tissues, is genetically heterogeneous. This condition is usually part of a syndrome or, rarely, an isolated disorder. Aggressive periodontitis, another genetically transmitted disorder of the periodontium, typically results in severe, rapid destruction of the toothsupporting apparatus. The increased susceptib...
