Correlation between common iliac vein geometry and the risk of deep vein thrombosis in patients with May-Thurner syndrome.

Background: May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a continuous pathological change of the left common iliac vein intraluminal wall due to compression between the right common iliac artery and a lumbar vertebra, with clinical signs of compromised venous drainage of the left leg, which eventually leads to development of left-sided deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Purpose: To analyze the correlation between iliac vessel geometry and probability of DVT in patients with MTS.

Material And Methods: This study consists of two age-matched female groups: DVT (n = 21) and control (n = 28).

The final diagnosis was probable multiple system atrophy, cerebellar subtype.

Complicated breast augmentation via self-injection of ultrasound gel and shoe glue: A case report.

Various types of dermal fillers have been developing for soft tissue augmentation. Even though many fillers have been approved and strictly regulated by authorities, homemade products for body contouring procedures are widely available and easily purchased on websites without prescriptions. It is challenging for radiologists to interpret radiological findings of complicated breast augmentation of unknown origin.

Hereditary multiple exostoses: A case report and literature review.

Osteochondroma is the most common bone tumor representing 20%-50% of all benign bone tumors and 10%-15% of all bone tumors. Osteochondroma has similar radiological appearance in both solitary and multiple forms; the latter is an autosomal dominant disorder termed hereditary multiple exostoses. Associated complications of osteochondroma include deformity, fracture, neurovascular compromise, bursa formation, and malignant transformation.

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a rare and severe form of chronic pyelonephritis. Spontaneous pyeloduodenal fistula is an extremely rare complication of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis. We present a rare case of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis complicated by a complex pyeloduodenal and ureteromuscular fistulae with a cutaneous opening.

Magnetic resonance imaging as a first-choice imaging modality in carpal tunnel syndrome: new evidence.

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common type of peripheral nerve compression. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is becoming more popular in practice in the evaluation of CTS.

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic value of MRI in CTS.

The value of sonographic quantitative parameters in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome in the Vietnamese population.

Objective: To examine the value of ultrasound (US) in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in the Vietnamese population.

Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study involved 42 wrists of 25 patients with idiopathic CTS evaluated by US. In addition, 38 wrists of 22 healthy volunteers were included as the control group.

Isolated arterial pulmonary malinosculation without sequestration in an adult: A case report and literature review.

Abnormal connections between systemic and pulmonary vascular systems are rare conditions and have been mostly documented in the pediatric population. We report a case of type B isolated arterial pulmonary malinosculation in an adult. The patient's chief complaint was intermittent hemoptysis during physical exertion.

Systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease in a Vietnamese adult female: Case report and literature review.

Systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) is a rare disease in the Asian population and might be overlooked in clinical practice. Early diagnosis is crucial to initiate treatment and to prevent disease progression. Chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is the modality of choice for diagnosing and assessing this disorder.

Giant lumbar spinal schwannoma: a case report and literature review.

We report a case of a 40-year-old female patient admitted to the hospital due to lumbar pain that spread to both legs and was associated with weakness of the lower extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intradural - extramedullary tumor at the level of the T12 - L2 vertebra. The lesion was over 7 cm in greatest diameter and compressed the conus medullaris.

The focal hepatic hot spot sign with lung cancer in computed tomography.

The focal hepatic hot spot sign appears as an area of intense focal wedge-shaped enhancement of the quadrate lobe (segment IVa) of the liver in the arterial and venous phase. If this sign appears on enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen, obstruction of thoracic central venous must be considered, especially when clinical symptoms are unclear.

Extragastrointestinal stromal tumor presenting as an exophytic prostatic mass.

Extragastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs) are uncommon manifestation of gastrointestinal stromal tumors originating from cells outside the gastrointestinal tract. Documented sites of EGISTs include the omentum, mesentery, retroperitoneum, and prostate gland. Prostatic EGISTs are rare entities, which have been sporadically observed, yet all of them were found to be confined within enlarged prostates.

Recurrence of retroperitoneal mature cystic teratoma in an adult: A case report.

Mature cystic teratoma is one of the most common tumors of the ovaries, testis, mediastinum, and retroperitoneum; however, secondary retroperitoneum lesions are rare entities in adults. We report a case of a 22-year-old female who was previously diagnosed with a mature teratoma of left ovarian was hospitalized due to dull abdominal pain in right hypochondria. Radiological evaluation revealed a mass in the right upper abdominal and flank region with an extension from the posterior aspect of the duodenum, composed of greasy and cystic elements.

Iatrogenic Iliofemoral Vein Dissection: A Rare Complication of Femoral Artery Puncture.

Iatrogenic iliac vein dissection secondary to femoral artery puncture is a rare complication that has not yet been documented. A 55-year-old woman presented to our institution with acute right iliofemoral thrombosis 2 weeks after transfemoral cerebral angiography. She was previously healthy and was not taking any medication.

Spontaneous dissections of visceral arteries without aortic involvement are very rare. The etiologies of these entities are unclear and their clinical managements remain controversial. We report a case of spontaneous multiple dissections affecting 4 visceral arteries including the superior mesenteric artery, the celiac artery and the bilateral renal arteries.

Drug-induced liver injury caused by iodine-131.

Iodine-131 is a radioisotope that is routinely used for the treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer after total or near-total thyroidectomy. However, there is some evidence that iodine-131 can induce liver injury . Here we report a rare case of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) caused by iodine-131 in a patient with regional lymph node metastasis after total thyroidectomy.
