A rare cause of atypical facial pain.

This case illustrates a rare cause of facial pain due to glossopharyngeal neuralgia in a 66-year-old male patient.

Radiology reporting of incidental osteoporotic vertebral fragility fractures present on CT studies: results of UK national re-audit.

Aim: To describe a UK-wide re-audit of the 2019 Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) audit evaluating patient-related data and organisational infrastructure in the radiological reporting of vertebral fragility fractures (VFFs) on computed tomography (CT) studies and to assess the impact of a series of RCR interventions, initiated to raise VFF awareness, on reporting practice and outcomes.

Materials And Methods: Patient specific and organisational questionnaires largely replicated those utilised in 2019. The patient questionnaire involved retrospective analysis of between 50 and 100 consecutive, non-traumatic CT studies which included the thoracolumbar spine.
