Comparison between high-resolution 3D-IR with real reconstruction and 3D-flair sequences in the assessment of endolymphatic hydrops in 3 tesla.

Background: The main sequences used to assess degree of endolymphatic hydrops (EH) are the 3D- inversion-recovery (IR) with real reconstruction and the 3D- fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR).

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to describe and compare both sequences.

Material And Methods: Forty-two consecutive patients diagnosed with probable or definite Ménièr´s disease were referred for hydrops MR examination.

Leiomyosarcoma of the deep femoral vein. A rare cause of venous obstruction in lower limbs and an alternative diagnosis to chronic venous thrombus.

Primary venous leiomyosarcoma of the extremities is an uncommon, but aggressive, tumoral entity with a high rate of local recurrence and early hematogenous metastasis. In the present article, we report a case of leiomyosarcoma of the vena profunda femoris. This pathology causes deep venous thrombosis-like symptoms.
