Six patients with laryngoceles, two internal and four of the mixed type, were studied with CT. Uncomplicated laryngoceles appear on CT as air-filled structures lying in the paralaryngeal space (internal), lateral neck (external), or in both locations (mixed). Obstruction of the neck of the laryngocele by either tumor or chronic inflammation can result in a fluid-filled structure, producing on CT a well circumscribed mass of either near water or soft-tissue density, depending on its composition. CT proved useful in establishing the definitive diagnosis of a laryngocele and mapping its total extent for treatment planning.

Retroperitoneal lymphangioma is exceptionally rare. We present a case of a 41-year-old asymptomatic patient with a large abdominal cystic mass detected on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan, initially suspected to be pseudomyxoma peritonei. Laparoscopic exploration revealed a 30 x 30 cm multilocular cystic tumour originating from the retroperitoneum.

Introduction: Alterations in occlusal relationships in individuals with complete edentulism considerably disrupt the equilibrium of the stomatognathic system. Evaluation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is crucial during the edentulous phase, as it influences both aesthetic and functional outcomes. This investigation sought to assess alterations in condylar positioning one year after the placement of complete dentures in edentulous patients, with additional objectives to examine variations based on sex and side.

Introduction Whole-body computed tomography angiography (CTA) may be useful during cerebral angiography and endovascular treatment (EVT), and identification of thrombi and malignant trunk tumors may be helpful in stroke typing and acute stroke care. Therefore, we aimed to assess the types and prevalence of incidental findings on whole-body CTA in this patient population. Methods This single-center, retrospective, observational study included consecutive patients with suspected acute stroke who underwent whole-body CTA in addition to brain CTA between April 2020 and August 2023.

Introduction: Gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (Ga-PSMA PET) is being increasingly used in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) for the staging and detection of lymph node (LN) metastases, despite a lack of prospective, validated evidence. We aimed to investigate the relationship between the PSMA PET findings (maximum standardized uptake [SUV] value) and the final histopathology results (Gleason Grade [GG], and LN positivity) in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.
Methods: This is a single centre, prospective, observational study of 63 consecutive eligible patients treated at a tertiary care centre in India.
Expeditious management of an unexpected complication of left renal vein ligation during right retroperitoneoscopic simple nephrectomy: A lesson learned the hard way.

We present a case of inadvertent left renal vein clipping during right retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy (RPN) and describe its expeditious identification and management. A 13-year-old girl underwent RPN for nonfunctioning kidney due to urolithiasis. During the dissection of the right renal vein, the inferior vena cava (IVC) got lifted off the parietal wall and the left renal vein was mistakenly ligated.
