Radiological follow-up of cemento-osseous dysplasia on cone-beam computed tomography.

This study investigated the natural course of cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Retrospectively, 104 CBCT scans from 36 patients (mean age, 44.5 years; 33 female and three male) with mandibular COD (10 florid, seven focal, 19 periapical) were included, based upon clinico-radiological features, without complications such as infection and related surgery.

MRI surveillance after translabyrinthine vestibular schwannoma resection and cochlear implantation: is it feasible?

Purpose: Cochlear implantation in patients with vestibular schwannomas is of increasing importance and interest. Two remaining challenges are the assessment of conduction of the cochlear nerve and the possibility of postoperative surveillance with magnetic resonance imaging. The aim of the current study was to assess follow-up imaging and determine the visibility of the internal auditory canal after vestibular schwannoma resection and cochlear implantation as well as in patients with persistent vestibular schwannomas and cochlear implants in place.

A homozygous AP3D1 missense variant in patients with sensorineural hearing loss as the leading manifestation.

Loss-of-function variants in AP3D1 have been linked to Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) 10, a severe multisystem disorder characterized by oculocutaneous albinism, immunodeficiency, neurodevelopmental delay, hearing loss (HL), and neurological abnormalities, fatal in early childhood. Here, we report a consanguineous family who presented with presumably isolated autosomal recessive (AR) HL. Whole-exome sequencing was performed on all core family members, and selected patients were screened using array-based copy-number analysis and karyotyping.

Femur development in fetal growth restriction as observed on prenatal magnetic resonance imaging.

Objective: To investigate human femur development in fetal growth restriction (FGR) by analyzing femur morphometrics and distal epimetaphyseal features on prenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods: This was a retrospective study of 111 fetuses (mean gestational age (GA), 27 + 2 weeks (range, 19-35 weeks)) with FGR associated with placental insufficiency without other major abnormalities and 111 GA-matched normal controls. On 1.
