BCGitis and BCGosis spectrum of imaging findings in immunocompromised pediatric patients.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health concern despite preventive measures, such as the use of the Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, which reduces the risk and severity of early-life TB infection. The adverse effects of the BCG vaccine include infection by the live-attenuated organism, more commonly seen in the immunocompromised host. This pictorial review aims to outline the imaging spectrum of BCG-vaccine-related infections in immunocompromised pediatric patients, which can be localized (BCGitis) or disseminated (BCGosis).

Early presentation of neurofibromatosis type I patient with clitoromegaly and café au lait spots: A case report.

Neurofibromatosis is a rare genetic disorder that typically affects the nerves and causes benign tumors. It also affects different parts of the body, including the bone, skin, and genitourinary system. We report a case of a 6-year-old girl medically free who was referred to our institute with clitoromegaly and multiple café au lait spots on the skin.

Diagnosis of Epipericardial Fat Necrosis on multimodality imaging in a pediatric patient: a case report and review of the literature.

This is a case report of a 13-year-old male, presented to the Emergency Department complaining of a sudden onset left-sided pleuritic chest pain for 1 day. He was found to have a mass in the left Epipericardial fat with fat stranding and pleural effusion supporting the diagnosis of Epipericardial Fat Necrosis. The findings were established by Computed tomography and Ultrasound, and the final diagnosis was confirmed by Magnetic resonance imaging.

Radiological Findings in Persistent Müllerian Duct Syndrome: Case Report and Review of Literature.

This case involved a 36-year-old adult male who presented with an unusual inguinal hernia in which the uterus and fallopian tubes were identified as contents of the inguinal hernia sac. These findings reflected a rare autosomal recessive developmental syndrome known as PMDS (persistent Müllerian duct syndrome). The diagnosis was established and confirmed via radiological-mainly MRI-investigation.

Thyroid computed tomography imaging: pictorial review of variable pathologies.

Unlabelled: Focal and diffuse thyroid abnormalities are commonly encountered during the interpretation of computed tomography (CT) exams performed for various clinical purposes. These findings can often lead to a diagnostic dilemma, as the CT reflects the nonspecific appearances. Ultrasound (US) examination has a superior spatial resolution and is considered the modality of choice for thyroid evaluation.
