Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation of Musculoskeletal Diseases of Ankle and Foot.

Background Ankle and foot pain is a common clinical problem, that may be due to a variety of soft tissue and osseus abnormalities. Magnetic resonance imaging plays vital role for diagnosing internal derangement of the ankle joint, assessing soft tissue structures around the ankle such as tendons, ligaments, nerves and osseus structures. Method Retrospective magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of the ankle and foot was done in 100 patients using 0.

MRI evaluation of knee injury with arthroscopic correlation.

Background: Magnetic Resonance Imaging has emerged as the primary investigation for evaluation of the knee injury because of its high resolution and accuracy and it has often been regarded as the noninvasive alternative to diagnostic arthroscopy. The objective of this study was to find out the various types of traumatic lesions of the knee on MRI, to correlate the results with arthroscopy, and to establish the accuracy of MRI in detecting ligament and meniscal injury.

Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 40 patients with knee injury over a period of one year.

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis: a rare case report.

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is an uncommon infiltrative pulmonary disease characterized by deposition of microliths in the alveoli. We present the case of a young adult with complaints of shortness of breath on exertion. Chest radiograph showed innumerable small, dense nodules, diffusely involving both the lungs - predominantly in the lower zones.

Esthesioneuroblastoma: one of the causes of proptosis.

Esthesioneuroblatoma (Olfactory neuroblastoma) is a rare malignant neoplasm arising from the olfactory epithelium with bimodal age distribution between with first peak in second decades and second peak in sixth decade. Proptosis due to esthesioneuroblastoma is one of the rare causes. They have a long natural history characterized by frequent local or regional recurrence.
