Radiological features of multifocal embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma affecting the vagina and the urinary bladder in a pediatric patient.

Rhabdomyosarcomas are the most common soft-tissue sarcomas, found usually in the younger age group. Histologically, they are subdivided into embryonal, alveolar, pleomorphic and not otherwise specified. They have a heterogenous appearance on imaging with few additional characteristic features based on the subtype.

Imaging of coronavirus disease (COVID-19): a pictorial review.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by a highly contagious novel coronavirus, has seen a rapid surge of cases over the past 6 months spreading to more than 215 countries and posing a global threat to mankind. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from pharyngeal swabs is considered the gold standard for diagnosis of this disease. Portable chest radiography (CXR), point of care ultrasound, and computed tomography (CT) are crucial modalities in diagnosis and follow-up.

Determining the normal effective diameter of thoracic aorta in pediatric population of India.

Background: It is imperative to establish normative ranges of aortic diameter to diagnose various aortic pathologies. There have been very few studies establishing the normal aortic diameter on cross-sectional imaging, and none pertaining to the Indian pediatric population. The objective of this study was, therefore, to establish the normal effective diameter of thoracic aorta at multiple levels using computed tomographic data, calculate z-scores, and plot reference curves.

Sinonasal paraganglioma and Cushing's syndrome: A rare association.

In general, paragangliomas are symptomatic tumors, which may be clinically taken for other tumors, benign or malignant lesions. Paragangliomas of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are an extremely rare entity and what is even rarer is its association with ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone production. We report this very rare case to highlight the rare association of Cushing's syndrome with nasal paraganglioma and the importance of total surgical resection in its treatment.

Left Aberrant Gastric Vein Causing Isolated Left Hepatic Portal Venous Gas Secondary to an Incarcerated Diaphragmatic Hernia.

Background: Hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG) is an ominous radiological sign suggestive of underlying intestinal sepsis, infection or trauma. Portal pneumatosis secondary to gastric pathologies is rare.

Case Report: We report a rare case of a 34-year-old man who presented with acute epigastric pain and vomiting, diagnosed to have an incarcerated diaphragmatic hernia causing gastric pneumatosis and resultant portal venous gas.

Spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome - understanding the dilemma.

Ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an uncommon identity due to variable number of causes, gestation and gestational disease being more common than thyroiditis and other causes. The role of radiology and biochemical markers are of utmost importance in not only diagnosing spontaneous ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome (sOHSS) but also ruling out other cystic ovarian diseases and to determine the underlying aetiology and course of the disease. Understanding its pathophysiology and genetics holds the key to unravel the mysteries of this condition.
