This pathology characterized by reactive metaplasia bladder's urothelium, which results from chronic recurrent irritation bladder wall. Symptoms are nonspecific primarily marked an irritative urinary syndrome accompanied hematuria. We present case young male patient with cystitis glandularis, discovered as result bilateral uretero-hydronephrosis...

En plaque meningioma is a rare type of characterized by an infiltrative nature, sheet-like growth, and at times invading the bone. We report here case en meningioma. The patient was 66-year-old woman presenting with headache painful bilateral proptosis. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging revealed showed as hyperostotic greater wing sphenoid bone associated thickening enhancement dura in anterior temporal area retroclival region bilaterally cavernous sinus, prechiasmatic portion optic nerve,...

Abstract Background Ingestion of corrosive substances represents a frequent and consequential medical scenario, significantly impacting both vital functional prognoses through the emergence acute complications or stenosis, which pose considerable therapeutic challenges. Currently, endoscopy remains cornerstone modality for diagnostic assessment management. Nevertheless, recent research highlights computed tomography (CT) as promising alternative, avoiding risks associated with reducing...

Nephrogenic rests (NRs) are foci of embryonic nephrogenic cells that persist beyond the 36th week gestation. They precursor lesions Wilms tumor and found incidentally in approximately 1% infants. The term nephroblastomatosis (NBS) is utilized when extensively or multifocally affect kidneys. We report a case left nephroblastoma with bilateral nephroblastomatosis, treated neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by nephrectomy, highlighting imaging features on ultrasound, CT, MRI, potential...

Schwannoma, typically a non-cancerous tumor originating from Schwann cells, seldom occurs in the retroperitoneal area. Its clinical manifestation varies, often remaining asymptomatic for an extended period until it enlarges, exerting pressure on neighboring organs. This article presents unique instance of pelvic schwannoma 75-year-old woman, initially presenting with unusual lower back discomfort. Imaging was used to characterize tumor, and anatomopathological examination established...

Hydatid disease is still endemic in several regions worldwide including Morocco, and caused most cases by the larval form of 2 species tapeworm Echinococcus: E. granulosus multilocularis. Primary hydatid bone without systemic involvement rare. The has a silent clinical evolution until it reaches complicated stages. Complications may include pathological fracture, neural deficit, infection, fistulization abscess. Preoperative diagnosis based on history, imaging findings, serological tests,...

Appendiceal mucocele with unprompted pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare malignant tumor, which difficult to diagnose before surgery. We present case of 62-year-old woman, and subsequently discuss the clinical imaging presentation mucoceles. Findings on CT scan suggested 2 diagnoses: appendiceal ovarian tumor peritoneal carcinosis. MRI former diagnosis, showing large tubular mass at base appendix discontinuous wall, no abnormality, was confirmed by mini laparotomy histological study thickened...

Schizencephaly, a rare congenital cerebral deformity that affects the mantle and is caused by both hereditary acquired factors, defined cleft spans entire hemisphere from lateral ventricle to cortex. Adult symptoms have only been described in few cases literature. Hemiparesis, developmental delays, or seizures are manifestations of clinical presentation, which dependent on size location lesion. Neuroimaging investigations, particularly MRI, enable diagnosis rule out other causes. Usually...

Abstract Background Cavitary lung lesions are frequent findings on imaging, with the most common sources being malignancies and infections. They have multiple etiologies differential diagnoses, which can overlapping imaging characteristics, posing a diagnostic difficulty. Main body of abstract This article is an educational pictorial essay highlighting pitfalls diagnoses cavities, focusing typical patterns, clinical biological contexts each etiology, illustrated by images that were extracted...

Meningocele is a rare congenital malformation of the central nervous system resulting from herniation meninges containing cerebrospinal fluid through bony defect in skull. It part neural tube closure anomalies. The overall incidence meningocele 0.8 to 3 per 10 000 live births; it varies based on geographical location and race, with predominance occipital localization. Among diagnostic methods, computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remain crucial examinations. Prenatal...

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an acute and rapidly progressive auto-immune demyelinating disorder in the central nervous system. It a rare disease but more frequently observed pediatric population. We report case of monophasic postvaccination ADEM, which presented with paraparesis associated fever. showed favorable evolution under corticosteroids, without recurrence after 3 years follow-up. The diagnosis was established due to context MRI abnormalities characteristics. This...

Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a rare birth defect that occurs during the first few weeks of pregnancy. It results from disturbance in usual signaling pathways required for separation embryonic prosencephalon into 2 separate cerebral hemispheres. Classically four subtypes have been recognized: alobar, semilobar, lobar, and middle interhemispheric holoprosencephaly. The cause HPE unknown but may include genetic disorders. In most cases holoprosencephaly, malformations are so severe babies die...

Rhinoscleroma is a rare benign granulomatous disease in children, the pathogen of which Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis. almost always affects respiratory tract, nasal cavities are most common site, but can also be found over entire extent tree, clinically patient often presents with obstruction other non-specific signs, Histology basis diagnosis rhinoscleroma. Early and appropriate medical treatment improves prognosis prevents progression to disabling sequelae. We present case 9-year-old child...

Air embolism is often an iatrogenic complication that may occur in venous or arterial circulation depending on the port of entry. We present a case 40-year-old female who had air pulmonary artery as consequence injection contrast agent. She experienced dyspnea and chest pain following contrast-enhanced computed tomography imaging. was successfully treated discharged from our hospital. Early detection this clinical condition essential to prevent morbidity mortality.

FLAMES, or fluid-attenuated inversion recovery-hyperintense lesions in anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (anti-myelin glycoprotein)-associated encephalitis with seizures, represents a rarely documented syndrome characterized by ambiguous features. Positioned within the spectrum of inflammatory demyelinating diseases central nervous system, it is regarded as distinct subset myelin antibody-associated disease, latest classification this domain. Myelin disease exhibits diverse clinical...

Superior mesentery artery (SMA)-like syndrome is an increasingly used term to describe vascular compression of the third duodenal portion between structures other than superior mesenteric and aorta. Although rare, this clinical condition as serious true SMA requires similar management. However, diagnostic criteria are not well established yet require a case-by-case analysis, including review various symptoms, especially evolving ones, radiological imaging effectiveness conservative...

The “Mercedes-Benz” sign is a term used to describe triradiate pattern of gas found within gallstones. This was initially observed on abdominal radiographs and later confirmed computed tomography. It allows the differentiation with causes gallbladder such as emphysematous cholecystitis, biliary-enteric fistula, sphincterotomy, cholangitis from gas-forming organisms.

Tracheobronchial injuries following blunt chest trauma are rare and can be lethal. CT scan help to diagnose it when a defect the tracheobronchial wall is visible or suspect in front of indirect signs.
