Atypical presentation of herpes simplex virus 2 primary infection: a case report.

Background: Cervicitis, an infectious or noninfectious inflammation of the cervix, encompasses a wide range of clinical conditions, from asymptomatic infections to severe lesions, making its diagnosis difficult. Acute cervicitis may develop into pelvic inflammatory disease. In patients with cervicitis, current guidelines recommend testing for herpes simplex virus when external genital lesions are present.

Prolapsed Uterine Fibroid: Value of MRI in Case of Massive Bleeding.

In case of acute bleeding caused by a mass located in the vagina, it may be difficult to assess the origin of the mass and determine whether it is benign or malignant; MRI is a useful tool for mass detection, diagnosis, and treatment decision.

Multimodality Imaging of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Complicated with Tubo-Ovarian Abscess.

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is the most frequent gynecologic cause of emergency visits. Because of its prevalence and non-specific symptoms, the radiologist may encounter this pathology and its complications on all imaging modalities and should carefully assess PID signs to avoid delay in management, late complications, and unnecessary surgery.

BRCA1 Mutation: An Insidious Enemy with Multiple Facets….

Epidemiological studies suggest that around 10% of breast cancers are due to hereditary predisposition. The risk of cancer is exponentially increased in patients harboring or mutations. Cumulative breast cancer risk by age 80 is estimated to 72% for mutation carriers and 69% for .

Semi-quantitative CT scoring of nailed shaft fractures during normal healing and in non-unions: comparison with radiographic scoring.

Purpose: To compare tomographic (TUS) with radiographic (RUS) union scores in nailed shaft fractures during normal healing and in non-unions.

Methods: Two radiologists blinded to fracture age separately determined RUS and TUS in nailed femoral or tibial shaft fractures by analyzing the radiographic and CT examinations obtained in 47 patients during normal healing (early fracture group; 24 study participants, 17 men,19 tibias, mean fracture-CT delay 109 ± 57 days [42-204 days]) and in surgically proven non-united fractures (late fracture group, 23 patients, 14 men, 12 tibias, mean fracture-CT delay 565 ± 519 days[180-1983 days]). In both study groups, we determined the inter- and intra-observer agreement of RUS and TUS and compared TUS with RUS.
