Imaging of Benign Biliary Tract Disease.

This review article discusses the most common benign biliary disorders and the various radiological findings on multiple modalities. A broad spectrum of diseases including various congenital disorders, infective and parasitic etiologies, immunological pathologies such as primary sclerosing cholangitis, and immunoglobulin G4-related sclerosing cholangitis are discussed along with obstructive diseases and ischemic cholangitis. The article emphasized the imaging differential diagnosis of the above lesions as well as clinical correlates those that are most relevant to radiologists.

A Prospective Study of Prevalence and Impact of Sarcopenia on Short-term Mortality in Hospitalized Patients with Liver Cirrhosis.

Background: Sarcopenia is common in chronic advanced liver disease and is associated with poor prognosis. There is paucity of Indian data regarding sarcopenia in chronic advanced liver disease & its impact on prognosis. The aim of this study was to study the prevalence of sarcopenia in Indian patients with chronic advanced liver disease and its impact on morbidity and short-term mortality.

Non-traditional tools for predicting coronary artery disease.

Background The traditional coronary calcium score (CCS) is a time-tested tool for the evaluation of coronary atherosclerosis and predictor of future cardiovascular events. Non-traditional tools can also have a value in predicting and detecting subclinical coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods We studied the role of CCS, the traditional CAD risk predictor, and the less-recognized, non-traditional risk factors, i.

Congenital Central Overinflation with Mainstem Bronchial Stenosis: Pre- and Postnatal Imaging and Outcome-Case Report and Brief Review of Literature.

Congenital overinflation of lung is underdiagnosed prenatally as the imaging features of the same are not well described. We describe a very rare case of central variety of congenital overinflation, secondary to right mainstem bronchial stenosis, not previously described in our knowledge, which presented as an enlarged homogenous echogenic/hyperintense lung with cardio-mediastinal shift and was misdiagnosed as congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM). We reviewed imaging features helpful in prenatal diagnosis of this condition on ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging and discussed an approach for differential diagnosis.

Endometriosis and Its Myriad Presentations: Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Based Pictorial Review.

Endometriosis is a major cause of infertility and pain in females in the reproductive age group. It is a result of ectopic functional endometrial cells outside the uterus. It consists of a spectrum of findings from superficial to deep implants initiating a fibrotic response and resulting in adhesions.

CT appearance of gastrointestinal tract mucormycosis.

Mucormycosis is a fungal infection caused by fungi of order mucorales. It is most commonly seen in patients with an impaired immune system due to any cause. Gastrointestinal mucormycosis is the least frequent type and may be a primary disease or a feature of generalized mucormycosis.

Correlation of epicardial fat quantification with severity of coronary artery disease: A study in Indian population.

Objective: We studied the correlation of quantified epicardial fat with severity of coronary artery disease in patients [suspected cases of coronary artery disease (CAD)] referred for computed tomography (CT) coronary angiography and established cutoffs for epicardial fat volume (EFV) for the presence of CAD and obstructive CAD.

Methods: A prospective cum retrospective cross-sectional observational study was carried out on 950 Indian subjects (suspected cases of CAD) who were referred for coronary CT in the year 2013-2016. EFV was quantified using semiautomatic technique on multidetector coronary CT angiography.

The Abernethy malformation-myriad imaging manifestations of a single entity.

Abernethy malformation, also known as congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunts (CEPS) is a rare clinical entity and manifests with different clinical symptoms. CEPS are abnormalities of vascular development where there is shunting of portal blood into the systemic venous system. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is a fast and effective modality for evaluation of CEPS.

Ectopic Pancreas in the Duodenojejunal Flexure-Computed Tomographic and Endoscopic Ultrasonographic Images.

Ectopic pancreas is a rare entity where the pancreatic tissue has no anatomic and vascular contact with the main body of the pancreas and has its own duct system and vascular supply. A detailed clinical report with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) imaging findings of a 40-year-old male came with vague symptoms. CT showed a well-defined homogeneously enhancing mass lesion in the duodenojejunal (DJ) flexure.

Amoebic liver abscess with hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm: successful treatment by interventional radiology.

Amoebic liver abscess is most common extra-intestinal presentation of amoebiasis. It is rarely complicated with vascular involvement including thrombosis of hepatic vein or IVC and pseudo-aneurysm of hepatic artery. We describe a case of hepatic artery pseudo-aneurysm as a complication of amoebic liver abscess treated with percutaneous embolization.

Radiological assessment of the Indian children with congenital sensorineural hearing loss.

Introduction. Congenital sensorineural hearing loss is one of the most common birth defects with incidence of approximately 1 : 1000 live births. Imaging of cases of congenital sensorineural hearing loss is frequently performed in an attempt to determine the underlying pathology.

Coronary cameral fistula treated by the Amplatzer vascular plug.

Coronary artery anomalies occur in less than 1 % of the general population. With the advent of multidetector rows and 3D reconstruction, multidetector computed tomography has emerged as the modality of choice in the delineation of the complex coronary anatomy and diagnosis of coronary artery anomalies, helping in the institution of appropriate therapy. We report a case of coronary cameral fistula of the left anterior descending artery to the right ventricle, which was closed by an Amplatzer vascular plug.

Severe combined immunodeficiency caused by a new homozygous RAG1 mutation with progressive encephalopathy.

We describe an unusual case of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) with neutropenia and central nervous system (CNS) manifestations in which a novel RAG1 mutation was identified. A 15-month-old boy presented with failure to thrive, neutropenia and recurrent infections. He was diagnosed with T-B-NK+ SCID.

Large leiomyoma in a woman with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterized as aplasia or hypoplasia of uterus and vagina in women with normal development of secondary sex characteristics. It affects 1 in 4000-5000 female births. Women with this syndrome present with primary amenorrhoea.

Unusual cause of massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding: a pancreatic arteriovenous malformation.

Context: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is one of the most common emergencies in gastroenterology. The common causes of the upper gastrointestinal bleeding include peptic ulcer disease, gastric erosive mucosal disease and portal hypertension. Gastrointestinal arteriovenous malformation is a less common cause of gastrointestinal bleeding and these arteriovenous malformation are most commonly located in the large and small intestine.
