Background: Osteolytic lesions of the anterior aspects of C1 (lateral mass) are difficult to address in a minimally invasive fashion and are often treated by craniocervical instrumentation.
Methods: We report the feasibility and technical method of transoral vertebroplasty of the lateral mass of the atlas using image guidance and describe the workflow of the procedure. To our knowledge, there has not yet been a technical description of a transoral vertebroplasty using image guidance.
Results: Adequate positioning of the pedicle access needle using image guidance for addressing the lateral mass of C1 through a transoral, permuceous access can be achieved.
Conclusions: With the assistance of image guidance, it is safe and feasible to access the lateral mass of the atlas. This constitutes a minimally invasive and fast alternative for introducing the bone needle to C1 rather than using a fluoroscopic device alone.

Introduction: Pleomorphic adenoma, the most common benign salivary gland tumor, typically occurs in the parotid region but can also arise in minor salivary glands. Its occurrence in the lateral tongue is infrequent, making this case the first reported from Ethiopia and the second in English literature.
Case Presentation: We present an 11-year-old girl who underwent an excisional biopsy for a tongue swelling lasting 2 years.

Objective: To study and address the diagnostic, management, and classification challenges of unilocular myometrial cystic lesions adjacent to a normal uterine cavity.
Design: Describe 23 further cases, and undertake a systematic review using Medline, PubMed and Ovid for similar lesions.
Subjects: 23 cases of accessory uterine cavities presenting to pediatric and adolescent gynecologists in Australia and New Zealand.
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, low to intermediate-grade soft tissue sarcoma that presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report the case of a 40-year-old male patient who presented with a slow-growing, asymptomatic lesion on his forehead that had developed over two years. Clinical examination revealed a firm, non-tender multinodular mass measuring 5 x 3 cm in the supraorbital region.

Objective: To measure and analyze the relationships among the posterior tibial slope (PTS), meniscal slope (MS), and meniscus posterior horn thickness (MPHT) of the medial and lateral tibial plateau in healthy people and patients with anteromedial osteoarthritis (AMOA) in Heilongjiang province, so as to provide reference basis for appropriate tibial osteotomy and prosthesis placement angles in knee joint surgeries.
Methods: A retrospective collection of imaging data from knee joint MRI examinations conducted prior to AMOA for various reasons was performed. A total of 103 healthy individuals (healthy group) and 30 AMOA patients (AMOA group) were included.
