Radiology has undeniably played a pivotal role in the COVID-19 pandemic. Radiologists as well as radiographers have relentlessly put their best foot forward in serving the people. Till date there are relatively few articles which describe the A-to-Z role of radiology in COVID pandemic and what a radiologist must know, suggest and report in such tim...

Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) is a rare condition with an incidence of 0.1 in 100,000 population. These are usually seen in the lumbar region in patients above 40 years and in the cervical and dorsal spine in younger patients. Posterior or dorsal epidural hematomas are more common than ventral hematomas. Patients present with sharp pa...

Background: Stroke is a major cause of mortality, morbidity, & health care expenditure globally. Carotid artery stenosis accounts for approximately 85% of all strokes. There is great value of safe, noninvasive and low cost screening test; therefore Doppler ultrasound study of carotid system is an important modality. Duplex Sonography, combining hig...

Background: Gallstone disease is a common disease responsible for considerable morbidity in the society. Surgery is the definitive treatment and laparoscopic cholecystectomy has largely replaced conventional surgery. However, laparoscopic cholecystectomy carries a higher risk of injury to biliary tree than conventional surgery. Significant number o...

Background: Perinatal mortality a concern in the developing countries and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is an important cause. Therefore early diagnosis of IUGR babies is the key to prevent complications as well as mortality. Multiple biometric parameters including trans-cerebellar diameter can be used to predict the gestational age. Thus,...

Baló's concentric sclerosis (BCS) is a rare demyelinating disease considered to be a variant of multiple sclerosis. The initial terminology for this entity was leuko-encephalitis periaxialis concentrica, which is based on its early definition of "a disease in the course of which the white matter of the brain is destroyed in concentric layers in a m...

Background: The advances in technology & diagnostic facilities have opened up avenue for girl haters & those preferring male child, leading to serious disturbances in sex ratio resulting in decline of child sex ratio. This has led to enforcement of Preconception & Prenatal diagnostic Techniques (PNDT) Act since 1994 & its amendment in 2002 & 2003 (...

Dual malignancy was first reported by Billroth in 1889. Incidence of second malignancy in cancer patients is as high as 10%, but synchronous anaplastic thyroid cancer along with breast tumor is a rare entity. We present a case of a 61-year-old female with a synchronous anaplastic carcinoma thyroid with ductal carcinoma breast. The plausible associa...

Background & objectives: Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are common cause of morbidity in women of reproductive age group. High intensity focused ultrasound with the imaging guidance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) known as magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound sonication (MRgFUS) is now available. However, there are no available studies w...

Retroperitoneal pelvic lipomas are so rare that there are only few cases reported in literature. Current imaging techniques such as USG, CT & MRI are helpful in diagnosis. A case of pelvic lipoma in a patient with stage-II cervical carcinoma is described. Initial ultrasound showed an irregular mass in the cervix with suggestion of an echogenic lesi...

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) also known as reversible posterior leuko-encephalopathy (RPLS) is a syndrome characterized by headache, confusion, seizures and visual loss. It may occur due to a number of causes, predominantly malignant hypertension, ecclampsia and some medical treatments. We present a case of PRES due to disulf...

Adenomyosis is a common benign gynecological disorder presenting with dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and pressure symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) utilizes precisely focused USG waves to generate and maintain high temperatures within the targeted tissue to achieve protein denaturation and coagulative necro...
