Purpose: To report a case of pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) in a child associated with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), associated with presumed coronavirus disease 2019.
Methods: A previously healthy 11-year-old female child presented with a 4-day history of fever, headache, vomiting, and loose stools. Laboratory investigations revealed neutrophilic leukocytosis, and markers of inflammation (C-reactive protein, ferritin, and interleukin-6) were significantly elevated.
Background: Resistive index (RI), derived from color Doppler imaging (CDI), is a marker of vascular resistance used widely in varied clinical settings. The aim of this study was to analyze the association between RIs of the orbital vessels in a pure cohort of type 2 diabetic patients with or without retinopathy using CDI.
Methods: Fifty patients having type 2 diabetes and 50 age-matched controls were evaluated in this prospective study.
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the utility and diagnostic performance of strain elastography (SE) in differentiating benign from malignant lesions of the breast.
Methods: In this prospective study, 50 palpable breast masses in 50 patients were examined by mammography, B-mode ultrasound (US) and SE. Lesions were categorized using Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS) scoring based on mammographic and sonographic features.
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of transrectal real- time strain elastography (RTE) in identifying prostatic carcinoma (PCa).
Methods: 60 patients suspected of having PCa based on abnormal digital rectal examination and raised prostate specific antigen levels underwent transrectal ultrasound (TRUS), color Doppler (CD) and RTE. Elastograms were scored on a five point scale based on distribution of strain in relation to hypoechoic area on TRUS.
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of strain elastography and acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging in the differentiation of benign and malignant cervical lymph nodes (LNs).
Materials And Methods: In this prospective study, 50 enlarged cervical LNs (33 benign and 17 malignant) were examined by B-mode ultrasound (US), color Doppler, and strain elastography. Elastographic patterns (1-5) were categorized based on distribution of hard area within LN.
Purpose: To investigate the retrobulbar circulatory parameters in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with color Doppler imaging (CDI) and compare the results with nondiabetic controls.
Methods: This prospective study included 50 type 2 diabetic patients and 50 age-matched controls. Seven field stereo fundus photography was used to diagnose and classify diabetic retinopathy (DR).
