Different Positions of Weightbearing CT Images Can Influence the Hindfoot Alignment Evaluation Using 2-Dimensional Methodology.

Background: Three-dimensional weightbearing CT (WBCT) has been widely used to assess foot and ankle alignment. However, most current measurement methods are based on 2-dimensional concepts-distance, long axis, angulation, etc-and are sensitive to changes in orientation of the WBCT images. This study demonstrated how changes in positioning of the image can significantly influence the evaluation of hindfoot alignment.

A Case of Spontaneous Atraumatic Subdural Hematoma Without Known Precipitating Factors.

Subdural hematoma (SDH) is a disease commonly seen in both the emergency department and the intensive care unit. Here, we present a case of a woman who developed acute SDH, without any precipitating trauma nor predisposing risk factors. She was managed with hemicraniectomy and SDH evacuation, with subsequent cranioplasty.
