The prevalence of anatomical variants of the coeliac trunk and renal arteries on contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography scans at Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital.

Background: Anatomical variations of the coeliac trunk and renal arteries should be radiologically reported as they affect the surgical approach and subsequent outcome in patients.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of anatomical variations of the coeliac trunk and renal arteries and whether there is a relationship between the occurrence of these variations at Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital.

Method: Arterial phase abdominal computed tomography (CT) or CT abdominal angiograms performed during January and December 2017 were analysed.

American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System standardises reporting of thyroid ultrasounds.

Background: Thyroid nodules are common, the majority benign. The small risk of malignancy leads to excessive workup. Thyroid ultrasound is essential for risk stratification and management guidance.

Case of tuberculous pericarditis presenting as a giant pericardial adhesion and masquerading as a pericardial tumour.

Chronic pericarditis characterised by adhesions between the parietal and visceral pericardium is called adhesive pericarditis. In South Africa, tuberculosis is the most common cause of chronic pericarditis. We report a case of adhesive pericarditis that mimicked a tumour.
