Dr Rezwanul Karim Shams, Clinical Assistant, General Surgery, United Hospital Ltd. Bangladesh; E-mail:
Article Synopsis
- Ossification of the sacrospinous ligament can compromise pelvic stability and cause compression of nearby nerves, leading to pain and discomfort.
- A case study of a 22-year-old woman revealed unilateral ossification of the left sacrospinous ligament causing significant sciatic pain due to nerve compression.
- Surgical intervention involved excising the calcified tissue and part of the ligament, resulting in complete pain relief and the patient's return to normal activities within weeks.
Metastatic Calcinosis Cutis: Unusual Locations in End-Stage Renal Disease.
Cureus
February 2024
Department of Radiology, Northern Mindanao Medical Center, Cagayan de Oro, PHL.
Metastatic calcinosis cutis is a rare consequence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), which occurs due to elevated levels of serum phosphorus and abnormal phosphate and calcium metabolism, leading to the precipitation and deposition of calcium in the cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues. This paper reports the case of a 33-year-old male with ESRD and a six-year history of hemodialysis treatment who presented with multiple areas of gradually enlarging, lobulated calcified soft tissue masses observed bilaterally at the level of the acromioclavicular joint and superomedial aspect of the right thigh, extensively involving the perineal region and the right superior anterior chest wall. The unique character of this case is the rare involvement of the sternoclavicular joint and the symphysis pubis.

February 2023
Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Graduate School of Biomedical and Health Sciences, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan.
Background: Although dental radiography is a valuable tool for age estimation in forensic anthropology and odontology, very limited radiological data are available regarding tooth development in healthy newborn babies during the first month of life.
Aim: This study aimed to describe the radiological findings of tooth development in babies aged 0 days to 1 month.
Design: We analyzed the postmortem findings of five newborn babies with no known natural cause of death who had undergone autopsy, computed tomography (CT), and dental radiography.
Imaging feature of cosmetic fillers in cone-beam computed tomography and its dental consideration.
Head Face Med
July 2022
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Yonsei University College of Dentistry, 50-1 Yonsei-ro, Seodaemun-gu Seoul, Korea.
Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) can show the presence of diverse cosmetic filler materials in the head and neck area during dental imaging, which can lead to confusion if clinicians are not familiar with these findings.
- - Researchers analyzed CBCT images from 21 female patients (average age 50.5), identifying common filler locations, shapes, and their radiopacity levels, with multiple fillers found mainly in the buccal space.
- - Findings suggest that these cosmetic materials can cause complications such as mandibular bone resorption and create imaging artifacts, highlighting the importance for clinicians to understand their potential effects on dental treatment.
