Fungi are unusual causes of pedal osteomyelitis in children and adolescents. Eumycetoma is a chronic cutaneous and subcutaneous infection caused by various genera of fungi. A provisional diagnosis of foot mycetoma is made after clinical assessment. Radiologic-pathologic correlation is an essential supplement for the accurate diagnosis of osteoarticular infections. This paper aims to sensitize o...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a novel dissection technique of surgical specimens in different cases of pancreatic tumors and provide a radiologic pathologic correlation. In our hospital, that is a referral center for pancreatic diseases, the macroscopic evaluation of the pancreatectomy specimens is performed by the pathologists using the axial slicing technique (i...

So-called "heterotaxy" is a laterality defect characterized by isomerism of the thoracic organs and random arrangement of the abdominal organs. These findings go beyond anatomic curiosity and have functional implications. It is, thus, of the utmost importance to be able to properly identify these findings. Radiologic studies can be invaluable in determining anomalies in the central nervous, pul...

The American College of Radiology has developed appropriateness criteria for a number of clinical conditions and procedures. Criteria are available on imaging tests used in the evaluation of acute chest pain--suspected myocardial ischemia. Imaging tests for a suspected cardiac etiology include transthoracic echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, radionuclide perfusion imaging, radi...

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) constitutes less than 0.5% of all head and neck neoplasms. It is a histopathologically benign, yet locally agressive, vascular tumor that occurs most frequently in males from 5 to 25 years. Advances in imaging and treatment techniques are now facilitated more accurate staging of this disease. In this study, we present a case of JNA, to whom pre-operati...

Epilepsy surgery is gaining popularity for the treatment of children with intractable seizures in whom either a focal or extensive unilateral structural brain lesion is demonstrated. We evaluated the pre- and postoperative imaging findings in 29 patients (aged 22 days to 19 years) who underwent hemispherectomies, 12 total and 17 subtotal. Pathologic correlation was obtained in all cases. Preope...

BACKGROUND Bronchiectasis continues to be one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in developing countries, with a probably underestimated higher prevalence than in developed countries. OBJECTIVE To assess the clinical profile of adult patients with bronchiectasis. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical, radiologic, and physiologic findings of 304 patients with bronchiec...

Abstract BACKGROUND Differentiating neoplastic and non-neoplastic brain lesions is essential to make management recommendations convey prognosis, but the distinction between tumors their mimics in practice may prove challenging. The aim of this study provide incidence tumor neuro-oncology setting describe patient subset. METHODS Retrospective adult patients referred Division Neuro-oncology for ...
