Imaging of pelvic floor disorders involving the posterior compartment on dynamic MR defaecography.

Unlabelled: Disorders related to defaecation are widely common in the population and are often overlooked. Patients may present with a wide variety of symptoms such as constipation, faecal incontinence, painful defaecation, incomplete defaecation, hard stools, rectal bleeding, and mass per rectum. Complete clinical examination with radiological imaging, using dynamic MR Defaecography, can help in assessing, grading, and managing posterior compartment pelvic floor disorders and complex dysfunctions.

Point Shear Wave Elastography for Assessment of Liver Stiffness in Normal Individuals and in Patients With Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

Background Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an increasing health issue worldwide, driven by rising rates of diabetes, obesity, and hypertriglyceridemia. Often asymptomatic, NAFLD is diagnosed through blood tests, imaging, and sometimes liver biopsy. Some cases advance to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can lead to complications like liver cirrhosis and liver failure.

A Rare Case of Primary Posterior Abdominal Wall Muscle Hydatid Cyst With Thoracolumbar Spinal Extension.

Primary intramuscular hydatid cysts are uncommon due to the contractile nature of muscles and their lactic acid content. Hydatid cysts with spinal extension are sometimes seen with primary vertebral body involvement. Our patient presented with a slow-growing posterior abdominal wall mass, and upon magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), it was revealed to be several cystic lesions in the abdomen wall with extension through the neural foramina into the spinal canal.

Primary Hydatidosis of the Thigh Involving the Vastus Lateralis Muscle: A Case Report.

Hydatidosis is a parasitic disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcal tapeworm that is endemic in many regions of the world. The subtle and nonspecific nature of the clinical signs frequently results in a delay in diagnosis. Ultrasonography (USG) is the first modality of choice for the diagnosis followed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

An Unusual Case of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Presenting as Proptosis.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a rare, heterogeneous group of genetic connective tissue disorders that affect collagen proteins. Currently, they are classified into 13 subtypes, many of which share general characteristics such as thin, hyperextensible skin and joint hypermobility. Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is characterized by tissue fragility, which predisposes individuals to premature arterial, uterine, or intestinal rupture.

Multidetector Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation of Craniovertebral junction Abnormalities.

Background: Craniovertebral junction (CVJ) abnormalities constitute an important group of treatable neurological disorders with diagnostic dilemma. Their precise diagnosis, identification of probable etiology, and pretreatment evaluation significantly affects prognosis and quality of life of patients.

Aims: The study was to classify various craniovertebral junction disorders according to their etiology and to define the importance of precise diagnosis for pretreatment evaluation with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
