Progressive Unilateral Foot Drop in a Child due to Neuromuscular Choristoma.

An 8.5-year-old boy presented with a history of progressive unilateral foot drop. A contrast magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvic girdle and the lumbosacral plexus revealed a diffuse fusiform thickening of the right lumbosacral trunk and the sciatic nerve in the intrapelvic and gluteal regions, with findings characteristic of a choristoma.

Imaging & neuropsychological changes in brain with spiritual practice: A pilot study.

Background & Objectives: Some studies have systematically assessed the effects of spiritual practice (SP) on the brain using combined neuropsychological testing and functional imaging. The objective of the present study was to compare imaging and neuropsychological changes in healthy individuals after SP and those with only physical exercise.

Methods: Healthy adult male volunteers, aged 25-45 yr were randomized into two groups.

CT-guided percutaneous sacroiliac stabilization in unstable pelvic fractures: a safe and accurate technique.

Objective: The use of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for unstable pelvic injuries is associated with extensive blood loss, iatrogenic neurovascular injury, and infection. Moreover, the placement of sacroiliac (SI) screws is a blinded procedure, guided primarily by palpation and two-dimensional radiological screening, which demands expertise. The complex three-dimensional anatomy of SI joint and its proximity to neurovascular structure require a safe and precise technique.

Intramedullary osteosclerosis of right femur confirmed on triphasic bone SPECT/CT in a patient with equivocal radiological features.

Sclerotic bone dysplasias are diagnosed based on clinical and radiological features; however, in some instances pose a dilemma. We herewith report a case of a 38-year-old female who presented with right lower extremity pain, and was detected to have sclerotic diaphyseal lesion on X-ray. Triphasic 99mTc methylene diphosphonate (MDP) Bone scan helped in confirming the diagnosis of intramedullary osteosclerosis, a dysplastic bone disorder.

Inflammatory pseudotumour.

A 29 year old female patient with submandibular swelling, anaemia, fever was diagnosed to have inflammatory pseudotumour of neck. We are reporting this case as it can affect diverse locations in body with varied clinical manifestations mimicking malignancy and posing a diagnostic challenge.

Pulmonary manifestations in inflammatory bowel disease: a prospective study.

Background: Although pulmonary abnormalities have been recognized in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), their prevalence and clinical significance are not known.

Aim: To study the prevalence and clinical significance of pulmonary abnormalities in patients with IBD.

Methods: Ninety-five non-consecutive patients with IBD (12 Crohn's disease, 83 ulcerative colitis; mean age 41.

Pictorial review of MRI/CT Scan in congenital temporal bone anomalies, in patients for cochlear implant.

High-resolution CT scan (HRCT) and MRI are routinely performed prior to cochlear implant surgery. These modalities help assess the status of the inner ear structures. A few patients have significant anomalies, which need to be assessed and understood in detail.

Natural history and magnetic resonance imaging follow-up in 9 Sturge-Weber Syndrome patients and clinical correlation.

The natural history of Sturge-Weber Syndrome is variable where some patients have refractory epilepsy and persistent neurologic deficits while others do well. Also, evolution of MRI abnormalities is largely unknown. This long-term follow-up study tries to address these two issues.
