Article Abstract

We report a case of a non-pulsatile groin swelling in a 38 years old male drug addict without the typical clinical signs of an aneurysm. Ultrasound revealed a left femoral artery pseudo-aneurysm. He was surgically treated and the vessels were ligated without revascularisation.

Article Synopsis
  • Spondylo-thoracic dysplasia (STD) is a rare congenital condition that affects the vertebrae and thoracic area, often leading to serious respiratory issues and a high risk of early death in neonates.
  • The text details the case of a one-day-old male newborn with severe respiratory distress and various physical anomalies, including scoliosis and rib deformities, identified through clinical examinations and imaging studies.
  • The baby was diagnosed with STD, received conservative management, and survived past the neonatal period, offering insights into this particular variant of the condition.

Macrodystrophia lipomatosa: Clinical and radiological insights into localized gigantism.

Radiol Case Rep

February 2025

Department of Radiodiagnosis, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Datta Meghe Institute of Higher Education and Research, Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha, Maharashtra, India, 442001.

A rare type of localized gigantism known as macrodystrophia lipomatosa is characterized by a disproportionate increase in fibroadipose tissues and a gradual overgrowth of all mesenchymal elements. The distribution in the lower extremities' plantar nerves and the upper extremity's median nerve is most commonly observed. This abnormality is congenital and typically manifests at birth or during the neonatal stage.

Article Synopsis
  • Orbital cavernous hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors in the eye area for adults, often causing painless bulging of the eye over time, as seen in a case involving a 37-year-old woman with progressive left eye proptosis over six months.
  • Diagnosis involved physical exams, lab tests, and imaging (ultrasound and MRI), confirming a 2.5 cm hemangioma without optic nerve compression or visual disturbances.
  • Conservative management is preferred for these tumors when symptoms are minimal, with regular follow-ups necessary, while surgery is reserved for more severe cases.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study assessed how well different types of arterial and venous cannulae perform in a pediatric ECMO setup under both pulsatile and non-pulsatile flow conditions.
  • - The researchers found that in pulsatile flow, lower pump speeds were needed, and the flow increase in the mock circuit was less significant, while non-pulsatile conditions resulted in higher pressures and overall energy levels.
  • - The conclusion suggested that non-pulsatile conditions offer better support with higher total hemodynamic energy, but pulsatile conditions are more physiological and are recommended for testing ECMO systems.

Middle ear adenomatous neuroendocrine tumors (MEANTs) are rare middle ear lesions characterized by nonspecific symptoms, signs, and imaging findings. Diagnosis typically relies on postoperative pathological assessment. This study investigated the diagnostic utility of the predilection sites and clinical characteristics of MEANTs.
