Hydranencephaly: exploring the role of CT features in the diagnosis of 22 cases.

Objective: To delve into the clinical and CT imaging manifestations of hydranencephaly, a rare congenital post-neurulation disorder occurring during the second trimester, characterized by the destruction of cerebral hemispheres and cranial cavity filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This research aims to enhance our understanding of hydranencephaly and establish a standard for its imaging diagnosis.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted using the brain CT images and clinical data of 26 pediatric patients diagnosed with hydranencephaly.

Inter- and intra-observer reliability of injury diagnosis for peri-knee fractures: A comparison between two- and three-dimensional CT imaging.

Objective: This study aimed to assess whether three-dimensional (3D) CT imaging improves the inter- and intra-observer reliability of peri-knee fracture classifications, compared to two-dimensional (2D) CT imaging.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 23 patients with peri-knee fractures, using both 2D and 3D-CT scans. Three radiologists classified distal femur, patella, and tibial plateau fractures according to Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen/Orthopaedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) and Schatzker systems.
