Lipid-poor vertebral hemangioma mimicking a vertebral metastasis of cervical carcinoma.

Vertebral hemangiomas are classified into typical and atypical forms. On imaging, atypical forms may look like malignant lesions. The confrontation of data from different imaging modalities (MRI; CT; scintigraphy) facilitates the diagnosis.

Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome: A Complication of Acute Renal Failure in a Child.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinico-radiological entity occurring during several conditions and more frequently in those associated with severe hypertension. The diagnostic approach is possible by considering the clinical context and MRI data, where white matter abnormalities are observed predominantly in the parietal and occipital territories secondary to the formation of a vasogenic edema. The evolution is characterized by a reversibility of the lesions in case of early diagnosis and management.

A spinal cord compression syndrome revealing neurofibromatosis type 1: A case report.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), formerly known as von Recklinghausen disease is an autosomal dominant disease with multisystem involvement. In the peripheral nervous system, it leads to the development of benign tumors from the tissue of the spinal or cranial nerve sheaths, known as "neurofibromas." We report the case of a 40-year-old patient with spinal cord compression syndrome in whom spinal MRI revealed cervical, dorsal and lumbosacral neurofibromas revealing neurofibromatosis type 1.

Trichobezoar: A Rare Cause of Gastric Obstruction.

Trichobezoar is a rare disorder of the young girl with a psychiatric profile. It is suspected when there is a notion of trichophagia, although its clinical manifestations are non-specific. Imaging through CT scan, plays a fundamental role in the diagnosis of extensive forms.

A tumor association to be aware: endometrial cancer and colon cancer in relation to Lynch syndrome.

lynch syndrome (LS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder with incomplete penetration caused by a germline mutation in one of the genes of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mismatch repair system (MMR) namely: mutL homolog 1 (MLH1), mutS homolog 2 (MSH2), mutS homolog 6 (MHS6), post-meiotic segregation increased 1 homolog 2 (PMS2) or the EpCAM (Epithelial CellAdhesionMolecule) gene, which causes the inactivation of MSH2. Patients with this syndrome have a high relative risk of developing cancers at a young age, led by colorectal cancer (CRC) and endometrial cancer in females. The diagnosis is suspected when the patient's personal and family history meets the Amsterdam or Bethesda criteria.
