Sonography of Scrotal Wall Lesions and Correlation With Other Modalities.

The scrotal wall may be involved in a variety of pathologic processes. Such lesions may rise primarily from the layers of the scrotum or may be due to a process arising from scrotal content. Imaging is not needed in most cases, but it may be useful for making such differentiations and for evaluation of possible involvement of the testes and epididymides in cases of primary wall abnormalities.

The MRI features of placental adhesion disorder-a pictorial review.

Placental adhesion disorder (PAD) comprises placenta accreta, increta and percreta lesions; these are classified according to the depth of uterine invasion. Although PAD is considered a rare condition, its incidence has increased 10-fold in the last 50 years. Ultrasound is the primary imaging modality for the assessment of the placenta and in the majority of cases, it is sufficient for diagnosis; however, when ultrasound findings are suspicious or inconclusive, MRI is recommended as an adjunct imaging technique.

Testicular microlithiasis imaging and follow-up: guidelines of the ESUR scrotal imaging subcommittee.

Objectives: The subcommittee on scrotal imaging, appointed by the board of the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR), have produced guidelines on imaging and follow-up in testicular microlithiasis (TML).

Methods: The authors and a superintendent university librarian independently performed a computer-assisted literature search of medical databases: MEDLINE and EMBASE. A further parallel literature search was made for the genetic conditions Klinefelter's syndrome and McCune-Albright syndrome.

A pseudoaneurysm within a subperiosteal collection in a patient with sickle cell disease.

Sickle cell disease involves long bones in the form of infection or subperiosteal collections. Rare pseudoaneurysm/aneurysm formation is also known to occur in the intracranial and visceral territories. We report a small subperiosteal pseudoaneurysm that developed within a subperiosteal abscess in the tibia in a patient with sickle cell disease.

Endovascular management of grade V blunt renal trauma with associated splenic injury.

Background: A 15-year-old boy presented to hospital with tenderness in his left loin and hypochondrium, and frank hematuria; he was hemodynamically stable. The patient was overweight and had fallen onto his left flank from his bicycle 2 h previously.

Investigations: Physical examination, routine blood tests, contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen and pelvis, renal MRI and percutaneous transfemoral angiography.
