Pharyngitis of infectious mononucleosis: computed tomography findings.

Two women presented with sore throat and fever. Their symptoms were not alleviated by antibiotics. Cervical computed tomography (CT) with contrast enhancement demonstrated enlargement of predominant posterior cervical lymph nodes and streaky heterogeneous tonsils with interspersed low attenuation.

Spontaneous hemothorax in hereditary multiple exostosis involving the ribs.

Exostosis occurs in the ribs either sporadically or as a manifestation of a genetic disorder known as hereditary multiple exostoses. Costal exostosis may cause chest pain and, on rare occasions, result in hemothorax. We report a case of hemothorax owing to costal exostosis in a 4-year-old boy.

Aneurysm of a systemic artery supplying the normal basal segments of the left lower lobe.
