The implication of a broken anesthetic injection needle in the posterior part of the oral cavity is described. Needle breakage is preventable if proper preventive measures are used during local anesthesia administration. A broken needle should be removed immediately after a thorough localization and not left in the tissue, as previously believed. Computerized tomography (CT) scan is the proper ...

Most primary malignancies of the heart, among them also osteosarcoma are found in the left and very uncommonly in the right ventricle. We report a 75-year-old patient with a primary osteosarcoma sited in the right ventricle occluding the pulmonary outflow. The diagnosis was made when the patient was alive, using echocardiography and computerized scan tomography examinations. Like in previous re...

The pneumonia virus of chickenpox is now known to cause scattered calcified foci in the lungs, however to our knowledge, recent literature has not discussed calcification in the salivary glands. A 15-year-old boy consulted the department of radiology because of a swelling on the right side of the submandibular area. Radiological assessment included an ultrasonography and computerized tomography...

Neuroimaging, an important diagnostic tool frequently used in the evaluation of patients with epilepsy, has mainly the aim to identify structural abnormalities needing a treatment and to contribute to the definition of the aetiology. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in epilepsy is more sensitive than computerized tomography (CT) scan for detecting abnormalities. Status epilepticus (SE) an...

A 35-year old male, presented with 3 months history of intermittent sciatica involving the right lower extremity. There was no history of trauma or intra muscular injection. Results of neurological examination included a negative right sided Lasègue’s sign, an absent right Achilles tendon reflex, and decreased pinprick sense in the right S-1 distribution. Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NS...

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous lesion progressing with one or more bone involvements in the skeleton. Even though it is a benign tumor, it may potentially transform into a malignant one. While the most frequently involved zones in the head-neck zone include the maxilla, mandible, parietal, occipital, and temporal zones, the involvement of the ethmoid bone is rather rare. This artic...

Primary bladder tumor is a frequent urological malignancy, whereas the incidence of secondary bladder tumor from a distant organ is quite rare. Secondary bladder neoplasms represent 1% of all malignant bladder tumors, of which distant metastases from stomach account for about 4% of cases. We present the case of a 30-year-old male who underwent partial gastrectomy for Signet-ring cell carcinoma ...

Generalized lymphatic anomaly is a rare multisystem congenital disorder in which multiple organs are involved. Imaging features often overlap with other complex lymphatic anomalies and diagnosis is difficult. Treatment options are limited, not remedial and prognosis is poor. We report a 12-year-old male who presented with axillary and chest wall lymphangioma but was subsequently diagnosed as ha...

Cholestatic pattern on the hepatic panel is common and can be caused by a broad array of etiologies. Although rare, with a prevalence as low as 0.06%, it is imperative to keep Mirizzi syndrome in the differential diagnosis when evaluating cholestasis. Due to the nonspecific presentation and inconsistent radiologic features, a high index of suspicion is needed to diagnose Mirizzi Syndrome. We pr...

We report the surgical case of a 25-year old man admitted because of progressive dyspnoea and stabbing chest pain, who had undergone a pectus excavatum correction using a retrosternal strut 8 years previously. The computerized tomography scan showed that the right tip of the pectus bar had migrated across his right ventricle and tricuspid valve into the right atrium. Intraoperatively, it was co...
