A Computed Tomography-Based Assessment of the Anatomical Parameters Concerning S2-Alar Iliac Screw Insertion Using "Safe Trajectory Method" in Indian Population.

Study Design: A retrospective computed tomography (CT)-based radiological analysis.

Purpose: To obtain CT-based morphometric data for the S2 alar iliac (S2AI) screw in the Indian population presenting to School of Medical Sciences and Research, Greater Noida, we used the concept of "safe trajectory" by Pontes and his colleagues in a recent study.

Overview Of Literature: Although previous CT-based morphometric studies on the S2AI screw have been published for a variety of ethnic groups, morphometric data specifically for the Indian population are scarce.

Role of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Hypocalcemia-Induced Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Pediatric Population.

 Hypocalcemia is a rare reversible cause of dilated cardiomyopathy in pediatric population. Myocarditis is another more frequent cause of cardiomyopathy with overlapping presenting features. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) is a vital modality capable of tissue characterization for the evaluation of cardiomyopathy.

Abernethy malformation: A comprehensive review.

Abernethy malformation is a rare condition in which portomesenteric blood bypasses the liver and drains into the systemic vein through a partial or complete shunt. It is categorised into two types on the basis of the shunt pattern between the portal vein and systemic vein. Abernethy malformation is associated with multiple congenital anomalies and acquired complications.

Solitary Fibrous Tumor of Internal Jugular Vein: An Extremely Rare Entity with Review of Literature.

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is an unusual spindle cell neoplasm that commonly arises from pleura. In the last decade, multiple case reports have described its diverse occurrence in extrapleural locations involving almost every anatomic site. Intravascular SFT is extremely rare and has been reported in inferior vena cava and renal vein only, to the best of our knowledge.

MRI-Based Morphometric Study Regarding Operative Windows of Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion in Indian Population.

Background: The novel Oblique lumbar interbody fusion [OLIF] technique has been proposed as a solution to approach related complications of anterior lumbar interbody fusion [ALIF] and lateral lumbar interbody fusion [LLIF]. There exists no study concerning morphological evaluation of retroperitoneal oblique corridor for the Oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) technique in the Indian population. The aim of our study was (a) to measure magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based anatomic parameters concerning OLIF operative windows from L2-L3 to L4-L5 level (b) to determine the feasibility of this technique following MRI-based morphometric evaluation in the Indian population.

Isolated right subclavian artery with interrupted aortic arch, ventricular septal defect and bilateral patent ductus arteriosus: a rare congenital anomaly.

Isolation of the left subclavian artery or its anomalous origin from the pulmonary artery has been documented in several cases, especially in association with a right-sided aortic arch. However, similar anomaly involving the right subclavian artery has been less frequently reported. Isolated right subclavian artery in association with interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is extremely rare, and only three cases have been reported so far.
