Changes in the radiological appearances of the hilar region of the lungs may indicate that the pulmonary blood supply is not normal. In atresia of the pulmonary valve, the pulmonary arteries may be absent, but more often they are small and may be supplied or supplemented by anomalous vessels. Then blood reaches the lungs mainly by the bronchial arteries or by other collaterals and there is litt...

Since the advent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), intracranial cavernous haemangioma has become the most commonly identified occult vascular malformation. The following case report demonstrates the characteristic radiological appearances and highlights the central role of MRI in the diagnosis of this lesion. CASE REPORT A thirteen-year-old boy presented with a six-week history of a progress...

Two case reports of giant sigmoid diverticulum associated with diverticular disease of the sigmoid colon are presented. The clinical and radiological features of 30 similar cases found in the literature are reviewed. Our two cases represent the largest recorded diverticulum and the oldest recorded patient with this condition.

BACKGROUND Orbital xanthogranuloma, a diagnosis confirmed histologically, occurs rarely in adults and children. With its characteristic macroscopic appearance the adult form may be associated with a spectrum of biochemical and haematological abnormalities including lymphoproliferative malignancies. METHOD The clinicopathological features and imaging appearances on computed tomography and magn...

A very brief review is given of the pathology of primary pulmonary tuberculosis. Numerous characteristic, but not pathognomonic, radiological appearances of primary pulmonary tuberculosis are briefly described and some of them are illustrated. The final diagnosis, however, depends on correlating the radiological picture with the clinical picture and special investigations.

Gorlin-Goltz syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder principally characterized by cutaneous basal cell carcinomas, multiple keratocystic odontogenic tumors, and skeletal anomalies. This syndrome may be diagnosed early by dentist because keratocystic odontogenic tumors are usually one of the first manifestations of the syndrome. Early diagnosis and treatment are of utmost importance in reduci...

We report a paediatric patient who presented with fever, shortness of breath, and vague abdominal discomfort. Lesions removed surgically proved to be generalised lymphangiomatosis and were treated conservatively. The spectrum of abnormalities and radiological features are discussed.

PURPOSE To determine whether increasing age is associated with increased radiological features of osteoarthritis of the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) in a general population, and whether clinical symptoms correlate with radiological features. METHODS Anteroposterior and axillary shoulder radiographs of 240 patients aged 20 to 80 years were randomly selected. The presence of stigmata of osteoa...
