Proboscis lateralis (PL) is a rare congenital craniofacial anomaly and it is represented by rudimentary, tube-like nasal structure measuring 2-3 centimetre (cm) length and generally attaches to medial canthal region. A 22-month-old male patient was referred to our clinic with a PL hanging from the right medial canthus and a coloboma on the medial third of the right lower eyelid. Physical examination revealed that the PL was 4 cm long and 1.

Aim: The term frontonasal dysplasia (FND) represents a spectrum of anomalies and its genetics have not been well defined. Recently, the critical role of the aristaless-like homeobox () gene family on the craniofacial development has been discovered. In the present study, we aimed to propose a systematic surgical treatment plan for the -related FNDs according to the genotypic classification as well as demonstrating their clinical characteristics to help surgeons diagnose the underlying pathology accurately.

Purpose: To evaluate the contribution of CT Bone Unfolding software to the diagnostic accuracy and efficiency for the detection of osteoblastic pelvic bone lesions in patients with prostate cancer.

Methods: A total of 102 consecutive (January 2016-September 2019) patients who underwent abdominopelvic CT with prostate cancer were retrospectively evaluated for osteoblastic pelvic bone lesions, using commercially available the post-processing-pelvic bone flattening-image software package "CT Bone Unfolding." Two radiologists with 3 and 15 years of experience in abdominal radiology evaluated CT image data sets independently in 2 separate reading sessions.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the long-term prognostic value of coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and noncritical stenosis, involving 1138 participants.
  • Findings revealed that 34.5% had noncalcified atherosclerotic plaque (CAP), and calcified CAP was found to be a significant predictor of cardiovascular (CV) and all-cause mortality during a median follow-up of 141.5 months.
  • The presence of calcified CAP and the number of affected coronary segments can help identify patients at higher risk for serious CV events, indicating a need for closer monitoring and preventive strategies.
