abstract primary cardiac tumors are rare in all ages. their reported prevalence ranges from 0.001 to 0.03 percent in autopsy series. 25 percent of primary cardiac tumors are considered to be malignant, the majority of which are sarcomas. on account of the late presentation of symptoms in malignant heart masses, finding locally infiltrative tumors or systemically widespread cases at initial pres...

a 64-year-old female with history of previous aortoiliac occlusion and aortoiliac bypass operation four months ago presented with dyspnea, ascites and leg edema. she has been suffering from bloody diarrhea since two weeks earlier. laboratory data showed important eosinophilia and stool examination was positive for strongyloides stercoralis. patient had clinical signs of heart failure. a cardiac...

conclusions due to the tendency of lv pseudoaneurysms to rupture, early surgical intervention is recommended. case presentation we report a very rare case of a 47-year-old woman presents with an atypical form of lv apical pseudoaneurysm confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cmri). introduction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is an interesting clinical entity. the left ventricular (lv...

abstract patellar instability is a multifactorial common knee pathology that has a high recurrence rate, and the symptoms continue and ultimately predispose the patient to chondromalacia and osteoarthritis. tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance (tttg) is very important in the assessment of patellofemoral joint instability. the purpose of this study was to report normal value of tttg in ma...

introduction a discoid medial meniscus is a rare pathology of the knee joint, and is even rarer when it presents bilaterally with clinical symptoms. case presentation we present the case of a 38-year-old female with symptomatic bilateral discoid medial meniscus. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) showed complete discoid meniscus in one knee and incomplete, on the other side. the mri findings were...

objective cerebral palsy (cp), a common static motor neurological disorder of childhood with wide spectrum of underlying etiologies, can be demonstrated with different neuro imaging techniques. we undertook this study to investigate the diagnosis of intracranial lesions in children with cp and its correlation between clinical deficits and neuroradiological findings. materials and methods in thi...

epilepsy is an important disease with a cumulative incidence of 3% all over the life and more than half of them are started from childhood. in this study we surveyed magnetic resonance imaging (mri) findings in epileptic children and its relation with clinical and demographic findings in order to find better diagnostic and treatment modalities for these children in the future. in this cross sec...

background: to analyze the characteristic performance of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (mrs) and susceptibility weighted imaging (swi) in cerebral alve-olar echinococcosis (cae). methods: we retrospectively analyzed 10 clinical-identified cae cases mr per-formance, and summarized the mrs and swi performance of cae. results: the 10 cases of cae all had the history of primary hae, among who 6 c...

background: magnetic resonance cholangiography (mrc) has gained popularity for diagnosing primary sclerosing cholangitis (psc). we determined the accuracy of mrc compared with endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (erc) for diagnosing psc. materials and methods: this retrospective case-control study was conducted on patients referred to an outpatient gastroenterology clinic from 2001 to 2013. p...
