An 82-year-old man visited the outpatient clinic of our stroke centre because of dizziness. He had a previous history of stroke without definite sequelae. Severe stenosis in the left proximal internal carotid artery (ICA) was seen on Doppler sonography. Conventional angiography revealed focal severe stenosis with 'string sign' in the left proximal ICA and delayed distal run off. Optical coherence tomography showed multiple channels surrounding a narrowed central lumen (lotus root-like appearance). Carotid stent placement with a protection device was done without complications. The patient was discharged in good condition 5 days after the procedure.

Recanalized thrombus is an under diagnosed clinical entity. Aim was to investigate the utility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in identifying spontaneously recanalized thrombi (SRCT) for management in clinical practice. This was a retrospective study analyzing 2678 coronary angiograms over a 4-year period which included intravascular imaging guidance in 75.

Eosinophilic solid and cystic renal cell carcinoma (ESC-RCC) is a rare type of renal cell carcinoma with inert biological behavior that has not yet been included in the 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) classification, and its imaging manifestations are unclear due to its rarity. Although there have only been a few cases, the CT and MRI findings of ESC-RCC are characterized by its cystic solid structure, according to the proportion of cystic and solid components observed on images, ESC-RCC can be categorized into three types. Especially the Type I, when the cystic-solid components are almost equal, the imaging findings are illustrated as "lotus root-like," which may be helpful in the differential diagnosis of ESC-RCC from other types of renal tumors.
