The optimal treatment approach for ABC remains controversial and varies depending on the preferences of the medical team. While some advocate for surgery as the treatment of choice, others recommend a less invasive first-line option such as selective embolization.

They are located preferentially in the cerebellopontine angles, parasellar, and temporal regions. We report here the case of an epidermoid cyst of very uncommon medial location in the cerebellar vermis, in a 61-year-old female patient complicated with tumor protrusion into the foramen magnum and active hydrocephalus.

Cervicofacial CT with contrast injection allowed the diagnosis of a right cervicofacial cellulitis, associated with a jugular venous thrombosis extending to the superior vena cava. It also revealed septic pulmonary metastases in the form of multiple excavated pulmonary nodules.

Material And Methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional, multicenterstudy, carried out over a period of 18 months (January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017) on 45 patient files collected in the radiologydepartments (Aristide Le Dantec and Albert Royer). Were included all patients aged less than 14 years, admitted with acute abdominal pain, whose diagnosis of IIA was retained on ultrasound.
Introduction: COVID-19 has spread rapidly since its emergence in China and is currently a global health issue. Its definitive diagnosis is made by PCR on nasopharyngeal swabs. However, this diagnostic test has low sensitivity with delayed results.

The first FairEmbo study reported the effectiveness of embolization using suture fragments. The effectiveness and safety of arterial embolization with suture-based microparticles (SBM) were assessed in a swine model.

Methods: The morphology of LFB was studied on 40 cerebral hemispheres of 20 right-handed subjects aged 18-55 years with an MRI of 1.
We report the case of a 7-year old patient presenting for acute paroxysmal abdominal pain at the level of epigastrium associated with vomiting without involving blockage of materials and gas. Clinical examination and laboratory tests were unremarkable. Abdominal ultrasound was requested as a first line investigationa and showed a right echogenic homogeneous flank and iliac fossa mass with regular contours without vascular Doppler signal and associated with "whirl sign" of mesenteric vessels.
