MR Images and H MR Spectroscopy of Enteric Duplication Cyst of the Pancreas in an Adult

چکیده
Enteric duplication is an ectopic cyst or a tubular structure composed of smooth muscles surrounding mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract (1). Most cases of duplication are present before the age of 2 years as an acute abdomen or bowel obstruction (2). Diagnosis of duplication cyst is uncommon in adults, and enteric duplication within the pancreas is especially uncommon and difficult to diagnose because it may be confused with pancreatic pseudocyst, mucinous cystic neoplasm, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, choledochal cyst or lymphangioma. We report clinical findings and imaging of pancreatic duplication cyst in an adult. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a pancreatic duplication cyst in an adult demonstrated by MR imaging and MR Spectroscopy.

INTRODUCTION Enteric duplication cysts presenting in adulthood are rare. Isolated enteric duplication cysts, which lack a connection to the GI tract or the adjacent mesenteric vasculature, have only been cited in six previous case reports. CASE PRESENTATION A 48-year-old female presented with a four-year history of intermittent nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) sca...
متن کاملAn Automated MR Image Segmentation System Using Multi-layer Perceptron Neural Network
Background: Brain tissue segmentation for delineation of 3D anatomical structures from magnetic resonance (MR) images can be used for neuro-degenerative disorders, characterizing morphological differences between subjects based on volumetric analysis of gray matter (GM), white matter (WM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but only if the obtained segmentation results are correct. Due to image arti...

Background: Due to intrinsic heterogeneity of cellular distribution and density within diffusion weighted images (DWI) of glioblastoma multiform (GBM) tumors, differentiation of active tumor and peri-tumoral edema regions within these tumors is challenging. The aim of this paper was to take advantage of the differences among heterogeneity of active tumor and edematous regions within the gliobla...

Introduction: Radiation therapy planning (RTP) is one of the clinical applications in which both CT scan and MRI are used. MR and CT images are applied to determine the target volume and calculation of dose distribution, respectively. In addition, using two imaging modalities increases the department workload and cost. In this study, an algorithm was presented to create synthet...
متن کاملEnteric duplication cyst of the pancreas with duplicated pancreatic duct.
Enteric duplication cyst is one of the rarest forms of cystic lesion of the pancreas. We report a unique case of an enteric duplication cyst of the pancreas that was communicating with a duplicated pancreatic duct. A 7-year-old girl with severe acute abdominal pain was found to have a large cyst that was smoothly communicating with the dilated pancreatic duct in the pancreatic tail. Analysis of...
