Congenital tracheoesophageal fistulas are a common congenital anomaly that is usually diagnosed prenatally or during the neonatal period. The condition is usually characterized by an esophageal atresia associated with a communication between the trachea and the esophagus. Maternal polyhydramnios is commonly seen in cases of esophageal atresia. The diagnosis can be confirmed prenatally by ultras...

An abdominal computed tomography scan showed a 3‐cm isodensity and weak contrast‐enhancing but delay‐enhancement solid mass in the right kidney cortex [Figure 1a and 1b]. Renal Doppler was also ordered which revealed normal renal vessels with normal flow pattern. An ultrasonography confirmed a well‐defined rounded and hypoechoic solid mass at the same location. Selective renal arteriography sho...

Avulsion of the optic nerve is an infrequent traumatic event which results in a permanent and usually devastating loss of vision. We present two cases which highlight the salient features of partial and complete optic nerve avulsion. The clinical findings, including the results of B-scan ultrasonography, fluorescein angiography, and computed tomography (CT) are discussed. In addition, the past ...

The foreign body ingestion is a rare cause of gastrointestinal perforation in children and is typically seen with sharp foreign bodies or button batteries. Herein, we report an 11-month old male baby who presented with obstructed umbilical hernia. Abdominal radiograph showed dilated small bowel loops, while ultrasonography and CT scan suggested presence of a foreign body. Laparotomy revealed ob...

A 63-year-old lady, presented to us with nonspecific abdominal pain. Ultrasonography (USG) and CT scan abdomen and pelvis, showed right moderate hydronephrosis, with no evidence of mass at pelvi-ureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction. Per-operatively mass upper ureter was found obstructing PUJ. Mass was excised and pyeloplasty done, with Double J (DJ) Stenting. Stent was removed after a week. Hist...

Advancement in imaging techniques has now made it possible for small renal tumors to be detected incidentally. This has led to the use of minimally invasive techniques for treatment of these cases. A 33-year-old woman was diagnosed to have a small renal mass after routine abdominal ultrasonography for epigastric discomfort. Computed tomography scan was used to characterize the mass, and an elec...

There are various modalities of joint imaging e.g. conventional radiography (CR), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), bone scintigraphy, positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasonography (US), bone densitography. CR shows only bone lesions, while CT demonstrate both bone and soft-tissue changes. MRI is the best modality at showing soft tissue contrast than CT scan and ...

Aim: High Resolution ultrasonography has revolutionised the management of non-metallic foreign body removal. USG aids in measuring depth and size body, its from skin surface any associated collection to perform a less invasive, easier surgery without need for additional radiologicalinvestigations like CT scan or MRI both which are expensive not easily available. Material Methods:22 patients wit...

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is known to be the most frequent bacterial in paediatric population. Objective: To determine clinical profile and etiology of complicated urinary children. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done at Department Nephrology Neonatology, National Institute Child Health, Karachi from 1st January 2022 30th June 2022. In 241 children either gender, (male ...

Background and Objectives: Symptoms of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) are often nonspecific or even absent; as a result radiographic imaging plays critical role in diagnosis. The diagnosis is profoundly dependent on modern radiological techniques, depending the detection thrombosis and/or stenosis hepatic veins upper portion inferior vena cava. This study was hence conducted to evaluate BCS.Materia...
