Safety and efficacy of software-assisted MRI-TRUS fusion-guided transperineal prostate biopsy in an outpatient setting using local anaesthesia.

Purpose: To evaluate diagnostic accuracy, safety, and efficiency of an MRI-TRUS fusion-guided transperineal prostate biopsy method in an outpatient setting under local anaesthesia.

Methods: Patients undergoing transperineal prostate biopsy were included from March 2021 to May 2022. Biopsies were performed under local anaesthesia in an outpatient setting, using specialised fusion software.

Jejuno-ileal diverticulosis : a review of literature.

Jejunal diverticulosis is a rare entity with variable clinical and anatomical presentations. The majority of cases are discovered incidentally during radiological investigations. Based on a case of a 77 year old woman with jejunal diverticulitis, the current literature about small bowel diverticulosis is reviewed.

A Rare Cause of Dizziness and Gait Ataxia: CLIPPERS Syndrome.

In this paper we report the case of a 52-year-old woman with multiple contrast enhancing lesions associated with a chronic lymphocytic inflammation of the infratentorial structures. We discuss the symptoms, imaging and treatment of this rare disorder, in which magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a crucial role in the diagnosis. Early recognition on MRI and radiological follow-up are also important to optimize the treatment.

Acquired Pancreatic Arteriovenous Malformation.

Pancreatic arteriovenous malformation is a rare vascular anomaly which may cause abdominal pain, acute pancreatitis, gastrointestinal bleeding and portal hypertension. Pancreatic arteriovenous malformation is mostly congenital; however secondary pancreatic arteriovenous malformation due to pancreatitis has been suggested by some authors. We encountered a case which can confirm this presumption.

Primary aorto enteric fistula: report of 18 Belgian cases and literature review.

Background And Study Aims: We searched for Belgian cases of primary aorto enteric fistula (PAEF). After reviewing the literature we compared our data concerning incidence, types, pathogenesis, aetiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities, treatment and prognosis of PAEF. We especially focus on the clinical picture and diagnostic options.

CT and MRI appearance of mitochondrial encephalopathy.

A case is reported of a 20-year-old female presenting with confusion and progressive sensory aphasia. CT and MRI showed bilateral and symmetric acute necrosis of the basal ganglia and of the left temporal and occipital lobe, besides chronic spinocerebellar degeneration. The imaging findings suggested a mitochrondrial encephalopathy.

Benign mesenteric schwannoma: MRI findings.

Accurate differentiation of retro- or intraperitoneal localization of a primary abdominal tumor by US and CT is often difficult. In our case an abdominal mass was incidentally discovered and identified as a typical benign schwannoma, but with a very atypical location in the mesentery. We found that MRI was a valuable adjunct to CT for exact tumor localization.

Endometrioid cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary.

The authors present the US- and CT-findings in a patient with endometroid cystadenocarcinoma of the right ovary. The importance of detecting a small solid component in an otherwise typical "endometrioma" is stressed. The contribution of MR is discussed.
