Article Synopsis
- This prospective observational study assessed the depth of the mastoid antrum using High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) and during surgery in 35 patients undergoing mastoidectomy at a military hospital.
- The average depth measured was similar between HRCT (1.625 cm) and surgical measurements (1.651 cm), with significant findings about differences in depth based on age and the presence of Koerner's Septum, but not on gender or specific disease types.
- Ultimately, 82.3% of pediatric and 82.9% of adult patients had deeper mastoid antrum measurements than the standard depth, indicating anatomical variations that may need consideration in clinical practice.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze imaging signs of complications following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) using CT scans to facilitate quicker diagnosis and treatment.
- A total of 41 cases of post-ERCP complications were reviewed, revealing common issues like intra-abdominal collections (51.2%), pancreatitis (48.7%), and bowel perforation (21%).
- Recognizing these complications through imaging is crucial as untreated cases can lead to severe health risks, making it essential for healthcare providers to understand normal and abnormal post-ERCP findings.
Purpose: The study was undertaken to look into the clinicodemographic profile, management, and clinical outcomes of advanced retinoblastoma at a tertiary care center.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted from Jan 2019 to Dec 2022. Forty-two patients of intraocular advanced retinoblastoma were assessed.
Extraovarian granulosa cell tumors (GCTs) develop from ectopic gonadal tissue situated along the embryonal route of the genital ridge. Primary retroperitoneal tumors are extremely rare, with an incidence of 02% -06% and 80-85% probability of malignancy. Only eight such case reports have been published previously.

We report the results of an endovascular-first approach in the treatment of SAVM. We also have proposed a simple dichotomized classification using the angiographically determined morphology findings and discussed its effect on therapeutic decision-making and outcomes.

Neurointervention
September 2017
Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulae (DAVF) are acquired fistulous communications between dural arterial branches and dural venous sinuses or cortical veins with the nidus located within the leaflets of the duramater. Dementia and Parkinsonism are amongst the rarest of clinical presentations in DAVFs and are important to diagnose early, being treatable with timely intervention. We present an interesting case of a patient who presented with rapidly progressive dementia and features of parkinsonism who was diagnosed to have extensive DAVF and made remarkable recovery after embolization of the fistulae.

The techniques to obtain liver specimen are percutaneous liver biopsy, transjugular liver biopsy and mini-laparoscopic liver biopsy. Percutaneous route is the preferred method for its simplicity, ease and safety.
