Acute Fulminant Viral Cerebellitis With Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy in a Male Child.

Acute cerebellitis is a rare inflammatory process affecting the cerebellum, commonly seen in the pediatric population following primary or secondary infection. Since the condition presents with a broad spectrum of clinical symptoms, radiological investigations, preferably magnetic resonance imaging, become essential in diagnosing it and planning further management. In this article, we discuss a case of a child presenting with a severe form of acute cerebellitis and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy secondary to brainstem compression.

A Study of the Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Evaluation of T2-Weighted Hyperintensities in Spinal Cord in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Central India.

Background T2-weighted hyperintensities in the spinal cord are crucial markers for diagnosing a range of spinal cord pathologies. This study explores the prevalence, causes, and implications of these hyperintensities in patients with spinal cord injuries at a tertiary care hospital in Central India. The research aims to assess the utility of MRI in detecting T2-weighted hyperintensities in the spinal cord and to analyze the associated clinical and radiological characteristics.

MRI Findings of Acute on Chronic Osteomyelitis of Tibia in a 12-Year-Old Child.

Pediatric patients with osteomyelitis, a serious bone infection, have several difficulties. A 12-year-old child with an acute osteomyelitis diagnosis is the subject of this case study. The child had decreased limb function, a fever, and localized pain.

A Comprehensive Review on the Role of MRI in the Assessment of Supratentorial Neoplasms: Comparative Insights Into Adult and Pediatric Cases.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a critical diagnostic tool in assessing supratentorial neoplasms, offering unparalleled detail and specificity in brain imaging. Supratentorial neoplasms in the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, thalamus, and other structures above the tentorium cerebelli present significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. These challenges vary notably between adult and pediatric populations due to differences in tumor types, biological behavior, and patient management strategies.

A Rare Co-occurrence of Lumbo-Costo-Vertebral Syndrome With Congenital Lumbar Hernia in a Six-Year-Old Child.

Lumbo-costo-vertebral syndrome (LCVS) is a very rare congenital disorder seen in children. It is characterized by a congenital absence of ribs, vertebral anomalies, scoliosis, meningocele, and hypoplastic abdominal wall muscles presenting as abdominal wall hernia. We present a case of a six-year-old Indian female who came with complaints of swelling in the left lumbar region since birth, which was evident in coughing and scoliosis.

A Rare Case of Pyometra in a 65-Year-Old Post-menopausal Woman.

Pyometra is a gynecological condition characterized by pus accumulation in the endometrial cavity. It is a rare condition, and it should be included in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in postmenopausal women. We present a case of a 65-year-old postmenopausal woman with complaints of foul-smelling white discharge, itching in the perineal region, lower abdominal pain, and postmenopausal bleeding for two to three months.

Radioimaging Presentation of a Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor of the Lung in a 13-Year-Old Female: A Case Report.

Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) are unprecedented threatening neoplasms beginning from primitive neuroectodermal cells. PNETs are reported as the predominant incidence observed in children and young adults with a high mortality rate. These neuroectodermal tumors are quite aggressive with a life expectancy of eight months on average.

Maxillary Soft Tissue Mass in a Newborn Imposing as Teratoma: Diagnostic Challenges and Management Considerations.

Congenital facial teratomas in neonates pose diagnostic challenges, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach for accurate diagnosis and management. We present the case of a four-day-old female infant delivered via Lower Segment Cesarean Section (LSCS) with a protruding nasolabial mass noted since birth. CT brain plain revealed a soft tissue density opacification arising from the left maxilla with an underlying bony outgrowth, suggestive of a benign congenital developmental anomaly most likely teratoma.

A Rare Case of Fibrous Dysplasia Presenting With Facial Swelling and Craniofacial Deformity in a 13-Year-Old Girl.

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare benign skeletal disorder that replaces normal bone with fibrous tissue and immature woven bone. We present a case of a 13-year-old girl with right-sided facial swelling and craniofacial deformity since birth, accompanied by nasal obstruction and difficulty in breathing and swallowing. Computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed an expansile bony lesion with a ground-glass matrix involving multiple craniofacial bones.

Neurological Conundrum: A Case of Cerebellar Hemispheric Enlargement and Atypical Symptoms.

Cerebellar hemispheric enlargement with atypical neurological symptoms poses diagnostic challenges in clinical practice. We present the case of a 57-year-old female with persistent headache, left facial paraesthesia, dysarthria, gait ataxia, and longstanding neck swelling. Imaging studies revealed enlargement of the left cerebellar hemisphere with associated mass effect and compression of adjacent structures.

Adamantinoma: An Uncommon Cause of Bone Pain in a Young Adolescent Male.

Adamantinoma, an uncommon low-grade primary malignant bone tumor, rarely causes leg pain in adolescents and typically manifests in the lower extremities, with a notable preference for the tibia, although occurrences in other bones such as the femur, fibula, and pelvis have been documented. Instances of local recurrence and regional metastasis are infrequent. This case report aims to comprehensively review the clinical presentation, imaging features, histological findings, and management of adamantinoma.

MRI Findings in a Rare Case of Left-Sided Obstructed Hemivagina and Ipsilateral Renal Anomaly (OHVIRA) Syndrome in a 21-Year-Old Female.

Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) is a complex Mullerian and Wolffian duct anomaly, which is difficult to diagnose before puberty. We present a rare case of a congenital syndrome known as OHVIRA in a 21-year-old female who came with complaints of intermittent type of lower abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea, and oligomenorrhea with frequent visits to different hospitals without any radiological investigations done. Early magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) investigations helped her in diagnosing and managing this syndrome.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Findings in a Case of Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis of the Knee.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare benign condition of tenosynovial proliferation that mostly affects the knee joint. In this case report, we present a 39-year-old female with a ten-year history of gradual progression in the size of painful soft tissue swelling in her left knee. Our case report emphasizes the MRI's ability to provide detailed information on tendon sheath and synovium involvement, as well as extensive extra-articular involvement and hemosiderin deposition.

The Spectrum of Shoulder Pathologies on Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Pictorial Review.

Patients present to the orthopedic outpatient department with complaints of shoulder pain on movement or restriction of movement in the shoulder joint and are referred for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the shoulder joint. Almost all the patients have similar complaints but may have a wide range of pathology affecting the joint and causing pain. Rotator cuff tears or tendinopathy are the most common causes of shoulder pain.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in a Rare Case of a Ruptured Intracranial Dermoid Cyst.

Intracranial dermoid cysts are rare, benign, congenital, and slow-growing cystic lesions. They contain mature squamous epithelium, apocrine, eccrine, sebaceous glands, and ectodermal structures. The rupture of intracranial dermoid cysts is a rare event and can cause life-threatening conditions.

Intracranial Rosai-Dorfman Disease: A Case to Remember.

Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML), an alternative term for Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), is a rare benign idiopathic immune-related lymphoproliferative condition. The central nervous system (CNS) has been documented to be involved in RDD, although lymph nodes are the organs that are most frequently and primarily associated with the disease manifestation. Nonetheless, CNS involvement in RDD is rare and poorly understood.
