Cystic dystrophy of heterotopic pancreas in stomach: radiologic and pathologic correlation.

Cystic dystrophy of heterotopic pancreas is a rare condition that means cystic changes of normal pancreatic tissue, placed in unusual locations, commonly in the duodenal wall. We report a case of CDHP in stomach, histologically confirmed after surgery. We show the correlation between radiological and anatomopathological findings, and also review the current literature about reported cases of this exceptional disease.

Evaluation of intervertebral disc herniation and hypermobile intersegmental instability in symptomatic adult patients undergoing recumbent and upright MRI of the cervical or lumbosacral spines.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the difference in findings between recumbent and upright-sitting MRI of the cervical and lumbosacral spine in patients with related sign and symptoms.

Materials And Methods: A total of 89 patients were studied (lumbosacral spine: 45 patients; cervical: 44 patients). T1-weighted (TR: 350, TE: 20) fast spin echo and T2-weighted (TR: 2500, TE: 160) fast spin echo images were acquired in the sagittal and axial planes in both the recumbent and sitting-neutral positions.
