A 35-year-old man with recurrent oral cancer underwent restaging FDG PET/CT imaging, which revealed neck lymph node metastasis and multiple distant metastases, including involvement of the right atrium, ventricle, pericardium. Doppler echocardiography cardiac MRI confirmed metastases while demonstrating preserved left ventricular systolic function. Follow-up imaging at 3 6 months after immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, initiated due to high PD-L1 expression in primary tumor, showed...
Abstract Background Kimura disease (KD) is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder involving the Th2 pathway. Although medical treatment with steroids or other immunosuppressants available, they may cause developmental issues in pediatric population. Surgical intervention has also been suggested; however, it associated high recurrence rates. Case Presentation A 14‐year‐old boy presented left retroauricular lymph node enlargement at age of 5 years. At 7 years, he was diagnosed nephrotic syndrome...
Color Doppler twinkling artifact is known as a rapidly changing mixture of red and blue behind certain strongly reflecting structures. This has been described calcifications in various tissues. We describe case related to chronic pancreatitis with parenchymal calcification.
The aims of this study were to evaluate the performance noncontrast magnetic resonance angiography (NC MRA) for detecting renal artery stenosis (RAS) as compared with contrast-enhanced (CE and clinical feasibility, technical success rate, NC MRA RAS CE MRA.Thirty-six subjects who underwent and/or enrolled. Feasibility, image quality scores compared. Diagnostic ability was calculated using conventional a reference.Noncontrast had higher feasibility rates than did (100% 97.2% vs 83.3% 90%,...
To present the prenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound findings of Miller-Dieker lissencephaly syndrome (MDLS) associated with chromosome 17p13.3 deletion in a fetus. A 30-year-old, primigravid woman was referred to hospital at 31 weeks' gestation because intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) polyhydramnios detected by ultrasound. The pregnancy uneventful until weeks when IUGR were first noted. Level II showed fetal biometry equivalent 27 gestation, an amniotic fluid index...
Leigh syndrome is an early-onset progressive neurodegenerative disorder with a characteristic neuropathology consisting of focal, bilateral lesions in one or more areas the central nervous system. The brain images are characterized by markedly symmetrical involvement, most frequently putamen. We report 2-year-old girl manifested as acute onset altered level consciousness. Brain magnetic resonance showed abnormal signal intensity over basal ganglia and cerebellar dentate nuclei. Despite...
The color Doppler twinkling artifact manifests as a rapidly changing mixture of red and blue colors behind strongly reflecting structure. Spectral analysis the does not yield flow spectrum. It is important to recognize this because it may lead misdiagnosis vascular within tissue. Additionally, be considered sonographic sign in detection calcifications calculi. In article, we review history interesting phenomenon its clinical use, well our personal experiences artifact.
We report on the clinical, cytogenetic, and imaging findings in a patient with 7q terminal deletion. The 11-year-old girl had mental retardation, microcephaly, distinctive face, relatively small hands feet, sacral dysgenesis. High resolution GTG banding (550-850 bands) showed A detailed evaluation of associated malformations overall clinical picture should be taken into account when identifying underlying diagnosis cases dysgenesis retardation.
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare disease that causes multisystem benign neoplasm, induced by dysregulation of the mammalian target rapamycin pathway (mTOR). This study aimed to examine effects continuous low-dose everolimus, potent and selective inhibitor mTOR, on treatment TSC-associated renal angiomyolipoma (AML). Between July 2013 August 2017, 11 patients with TSC-AML were enrolled for an everolimus therapy protocol. An oral dose starting at 2.5 mg daily was gradually increased...
Background: Although regarded as a potentially efficient approach to address tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)-associated complications, the adverse event profile of everolimus has not yet been fully elucidated.The present study aimed clarify spectrum in patients with TSC who are using for common indications, comparison those do use everolimus. Materials and Methods:We recruited were followed up annually at integrated clinics or referred medical assistance.Medical reviews laboratory...
A wandering spleen is a rare condition. It usually diagnosed when abdominal pain develops secondary to splenic torsion. Although hypermobility the pathognomonic feature of spleen, it rarely revealed by imaging in subclinical stage. We report 3 patients with who had incidental sonographic findings splenomegaly. Gray scale and color Doppler sonography right decubitus position can easily show migratory nature perfusion status real time.
Structural anomalies associated with partial 2p monosomy are rare. There has only been one case of interstitial deletion 2p24.2–2p25.1 and three cases 2p23.3–2p25.1 described in the literature. We report here first instance an 2p23p24, confirmed by comparative genome hybridization. present a clinical cytogenetic patient psychomotor retardation, hearing impairment, limb abnormalities. The obvious osseous fusion bone marrow cortex continuation between proximal parts radius ulna—congenital...
Background The color Doppler twinkling artifact is manifested as a rapidly changing mixture of red and blue colors behind strongly reflecting structure. effects the roughness surface angle on intensity have never been quantitatively reported before. In this study, simple in vitro system with reproducible results was established to observe these two factors strength artifact. Materials Methods Six different grits water sandpapers were simultaneously scanned bath fixed probe. part 1, computer...
An ectopic ureter draining into the seminal vesicle or vas deferens in males is a very rare anomaly and usually associated with renal dysplasia agenesis. dysplastic kidney not suspected cause during clinical evaluation of children abdominal pain. This report presents case an acute infection previously healthy 12-year-old boy, demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging. He presented pain that mimicked appendicitis-like symptoms which was subsequently complicated epididymitis manifesting as...
