Ultrasonographic Diagnosis of an Os Styloideum in an Adolescent Volleyball Player.

The os styloideum is an uncommon accessory ossicle located at the dorsum of the wrist, which may present with symptoms similar to those of a ganglion cyst. The presumed etiology of the os styloideum is congenital non-fusion of cartilaginous components about the carpals. Various imaging modalities, including ultrasonography, can be used to differentiate this entity from various other sources of painful dorsal-sided wrist nodules.

Cauda Equina Syndrome Following Lumbar Disc Herniation at L5-S1: A Case Report.

Objective: The purpose of this article is to describe a patient presenting to a chiropractic clinic with rapidly progressing cauda equina symptoms.

Clinical Features: A 30-year-old woman presented to a chiropractic clinic with the onset of saddle distribution sensory loss and urinary retention. The patient had worsening symptoms 48 hours following evaluation at local emergency and radiology departments.

Cervical Vertebral Body Erosion Due to Vascular Abnormality: A Case Report.

Objective: The occurrence of cervical vertebral erosion due to vertebral artery (VA) abnormalities such as tortuosity/loop formation and pseudoaneurysm is rare, but both abnormalities are potentially fatal. There are few reports of cervical vertebral body erosion due to VA abnormality. We report a case of a 92-year-old woman who presented to her primary care physician with neck pain and was referred for chiropractic care.

The Traumatized TFCC: An Illustrated Review of the Anatomy and Injury Patterns of the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex.

The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) plays an important role in wrist biomechanics and is prone to traumatic and degenerative injury, making it a common source of ulnar-sided wrist pain. Because of this, the TFCC is frequently imaged, and a detailed understanding of its anatomy and injury patterns is critical in generating an accurate report to help guide treatment. In this review, we provide a detailed overview of TFCC anatomy, its normal appearance on magnetic resonance imaging, the spectrum of TFCC injuries based on the Palmer classification system, and pitfalls in accurate assessment.
