Ductus arteriosus aneurysm: Case report and review of the literature.

We report the case of an infant boy born at 39 weeks and 5 days who presented a cleft lip and palate. During the assessment to detect associated malformations, cardiac auscultation revealed a systolic heart murmur. Echocardiography and subsequent thoracic computed tomography angiography identified an aneurysm of the ductus arteriosus.

[Acute leukemia revealed by bone magnetic resonance imaging: Two pediatric case reports].

Bone and joint pain are common causes of pediatric consultation for a variety of etiologies. The causes are mostly traumatic or infectious or have an inflammatory origin. Acute leukemia (AL) can sometimes begin with osteoarticular signs and radiological investigations such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help guide the diagnosis.

Diagnostic accuracy of diffusion-weighted MR imaging versus delayed gadolinium enhanced T1-weighted imaging in middle ear recurrent cholesteatoma: A retrospective study of 39 patients.

Objective: MR imaging using diffusion-weighted (DW) images and delayed gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted images is evolving into an alternative to second look surgery in detection of recurrent cholesteatomas. The aim of this study was to retrospectively compare the DW images, the post-gadolinium T1-weighted images and the combination of both methods in this indication.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the MR examination of 39 patients clinically suspected for a recurrent cholesteatoma.
