Exercise related leg pain (ERLP) is a regional pain syndrome described as pain between the knee and ankle which occurs with exercise. Indiscriminant use of terminology such as "shin splints" has resulted in ongoing confusion regarding the pathoanatomic entities associated with this pain syndrome. Each of the pathoanatomic entities - medial tibial stress syndrome, chronic exertional compartment syndrome, tibial and fibular stress fractures, tendinopathy, nerve entrapment, and vascular pathology - which manifest as ERLP are each described in terms of relevant anatomy, epidemiology, clinical presentation, associated pathomechanics, and intervention strategies. Evidence regarding risk factors for ERLP general and specific pathoanatomic entities are presented in the context of models of sports injury prevention.

Is it Time to Adopt a New Nomenclature and Classification for White Dot Syndromes Using Multimodal Imaging Techniques? Report 1 from Multimodal Imaging in Uveitis (MUV) Task Force.

Article Synopsis
- - The survey, developed by the International Uveitis Study Group, aimed to assess how uveitis and retina specialists use current terminology and multimodal imaging (MMI) for diagnosing white dot syndromes (WDS).
- - Out of 432 initial respondents, 263 completed the survey, revealing that most participants specialize in uveitis and utilize MMI, with nearly 90% using it for WDS diagnosis but showing varied usage of the term WDS.
- - The findings suggest a strong consensus among specialists for redefining WDS based on anatomical location rather than the current clinical term, emphasizing MMI's role in enhancing diagnostic precision.
Acute-Onset Footdrop Caused by Intraneural Ganglion Cyst of the Common Peroneal Nerve: The Effects of Extraneural Pressure Gradients on Cyst Propagation.

†MRI Specialists, Boynton Beach, FL.
Ganglion cysts are relatively common entities, but intraneural ganglia within peripheral nerves are rare and poorly understood. We present a case of a 51-year-old man who presented with acute left dropfoot. Initial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was misinterpreted as common peroneal neuritis consistent with a traction injury corroborated by the patient's history.

Persisting embryonal infundibular recess (PEIR) is a very rare anomaly of the floor of the third ventricle in which the embryonic morphology of the infundibular recess (IR) persists. The exact underlying mechanism of development of PEIR is unknown, and the anomaly has been reported as an isolated finding or in association with other conditions. On the other hand, trans-sphenoidal encephaloceles are the rarest form of basal encephaloceles.

Scapular dyskinesis is a condition that is frequently observed clinically but not often understood. Too often it is viewed as a diagnosis which is not accurate because it is a physical impairment. This misclassification of dyskinesis has resulted in literature that simultaneously supports and refutes scapular dyskinesis as a relevant clinical entity as it relates to arm function.
