We hereby present a case of a 34-year-old male patient diagnosed with Behcet's disease where computed tomography revealed the presence of thrombosis and occlusion of the infrarenal aorta and bilateral renal arteries. Such a pattern of vascular involvement is an unusual and uncommon manifestation of Behcet disease.

Article Synopsis
  • * A case study of a 26-year-old female revealed the coexistence of CBA with a large patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and a small atrial septal defect (ASD), resulting in Eisenmenger syndrome.
  • * Early diagnosis and intervention for CBA and associated congenital heart defects (CHD) are crucial to preventing serious complications like pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Acromesomelic dysplasia (AMD) is an umbrella term given to a heterogeneous group of progressive skeletal disorders characterized by short limbed dwarfism associated with disproportionate shortening of middle and distal segments of the upper as well as lower limbs. Although specific skeletal anomalies are difficult to diagnose antenatally, but because of their antenatal and postnatal implications and a possibility of reoccurrence in following pregnancies, such skeletal anomalies need to be actively addressed. A combination of radiologic, pathologic, genetic and molecular investigation prenatally as well as postnatally is required to classify a specific congenital skeletal dysplasia.

Transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-defined globular mass attached to the anterolateral papillary muscle. The mass was hyperintense on T1 and T2 weighted images with suppression of signal on fat saturated and short tau inversion recovery (STIR) images. This imaging established the diagnosis of cardiac lipoma attached to the anterolateral papillary muscle, Papillary muscle is a very rare location of lipoma, which is rarely reported in the literature.

Scrotal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an unusual entity with its own important clinical implications. Described only as a few case reports in medical literature, it not only can cause life-threatening haemorrhage because of its superficial location in the scrotum but also can result in infertility. We report the case of a 35-year-old man who had a progressively increasing scrotal swelling for almost 20 years and now presented for infertility workup.

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterised by the deposition of calcium phosphate microliths in the alveoli. PAM has been reported in all continents and there is often a familial history. There is clinical-radiological dissociation as there is often a paucity of symptoms in contrast to the imaging findings.

Aims: To correlate sonographic renal parameters (mean renal cortical thickness, length and volume) with renal functions in patients with newly diagnosed chronic kidney disease. To predict the best renal parameter correlating with renal functions in patients with newly diagnosed chronic kidney disease.

Material And Methods: A hospital-based prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Radiodiagnosis, Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital, Shimla, in 78 adults with newly diagnosed chronic kidney disease visiting the hospital from December 2019 to November 2020.

Background: Symptomatic muscle hernias are not uncommon in the lower extremities and are a rare cause of chronic leg pain. They are most commonly seen in the tibialis anterior muscle, occurring through fascial defects, usually after trauma. There are about 200 cases of muscle hernias described in the literature.

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare cerebrovascular disease characterized by idiopathic occlusion of bilateral internal carotid arteries and the development of characteristic leptomeningeal collateral vessels along anterior or posterior circulation. We present an unusual case of MMD presenting with generalized dystonia as the predominant manifestation.

Objectives: To study the role of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in sputum smear negative patients and to design HRCT criterion to forecast the threat of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Material And Methods: We studied 69 patients having sputum smear negative for acid-fast bacilli (AFB) but still with clinical suspicion of PTB after taking written informed consent. We studied their medical characteristics, numerous separate HRCT-results and combination of HRCT findings to foresee the danger for PTB by utilizing univariate and multivariate investigation.

Methyl alcohol poisoning is an uncommon but an extremely hazardous poisoning. It most commonly occurs via oral ingestion of illicit or adulterated liquors or as ethanol substitution. The clinical diagnosis is made in the presence of high index of suspicion of toxic alcohol ingestion, early visual symptoms, unexplained anion gap metabolic acidosis and significant osmolar gap.

Background And Purpose: World Health Organization estimated that there were 600,000 new cases of head and neck cancers and 300,000 deaths each year worldwide. Scientific modalities to predict the treatment outcomes are not available yet. We conducted this study to (1) compare CT perfusion parameters before and after chemoradiation among patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and (2) to evaluate the prognostic value of each perfusion parameter in predicting the response to chemoradiation.
