CT demonstration of resolution of hepatic lesions in HELLP syndrome: a case report.

This article describes the CT appearance of the liver in a patient with HELLP Syndrome in the acute and resolving phases of the disease. In the acute phase, computed tomography showed multiple confluent hypodensities in the left and right hepatic lobes, ascites, and subcutaneous abnormalities.

Surgical clip as a nidus for a common bile duct stone: radiographic demonstration.

Surgical clips can migrate into the biliary tract and act as a nidus for stone formation. We present a case of a surgical clip within a common bile duct stone. This diagnosis was suggested by clip movement on serial abdominal radiographs and metallic density within the common duct stone on computed tomography.

Traumatic lumbosacral nerve root avulsion: evaluation by MR imaging.

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of traumatic lumbosacral nerve root avulsion and pseudomeningocele formation at multiple nerve root levels is presented. We report a case of this rare clinicopathologic entity identified by MR imaging in conjunction with more traditional lumbar myelography.

Sagittal orientation of the anterior minor fissure: radiography and CT.

Chest radiographs of 12 patients revealed an oblique, predominantly cephalocaudal linear opacity in the anterior inferomedial aspect of the right lung. Correlation with high-resolution computed tomography in two patients indicated that this opacity represented a sagittal orientation of the anterior minor fissure, with resultant inferomedial curving of the right upper lobe of the lung along the right border of the heart. The sagittal anterior minor fissure may extend inferiorly to the right hemidiaphragm and merge superiorly with the horizontal minor fissure.
