The objective of this study was to determine the different vascularization patterns of the posterior interventricular sulcus (PIS) with coronary CT angiography. Three hundred and fifty-six coronary CT angiograms (CCTA) were retrospectively analyzed in 248 men and 108 women (mean age, 54.9 years ± 13.6 [standard deviation]). The PIS was divided into...

The adrenal gland is a common site of disease, with an abnormality prevalence as high as 9% in autopsy series. With the increasing use of CT, adrenal lesions are frequently found in the daily practice of radiology and are diagnosed in up to 5% of CT examinations performed for varied reasons. Imaging features on CT can establish a specific diagnosis...

To present the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearances of spinal split-cord malformation (SCM) and to investigate the various types of congenital spinal disorders associated with SCM. MR examinations of 23 patients with SCM were carried out in our hospital between June 2002 and May 2007 and retrospectively analysed. Nineteen (82.6%) patients w...

Purpose: To investigate the sonographic characteristics of the normal ulnar nerve in the cubital tunnel, as well as any differences related to age, sex, and dominant arm. Method: Two hundred twelve elbows in healthy volunteers were evaluated sonographically. The cross-sectional area (CSA) of the ulnar nerve within the cubital tunnel was measured...

Tuberculosis involvement of the central nervous system continues to represent a serious problem, particularly in developing countries. The aim of this study was to characterize the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of intracranial tuberculoma, a form of neurotuberculosis. We retrospectively reviewed the data of 27 patients with intracranial...

We present a case of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor of multicentric origin, an extremely rare condition. A 25-year-old man was admitted to hospital with presenting symptoms of cough, dyspnea and left lateral back pain. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed extrapleural masses in the left hemithorax in addition to sync...

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between tuberculous meningitis and tuberculous otomastoiditis. Materials and methods: Meningeal involvement sites were investigated by magnetic resonance imaging in 32 patients (21 males, 11 females) who had previously been diagnosed with tuberculous meningitis. Clinical and labor...

We report the MRI findings of a 22-year-old woman who complained of localized swelling in the left temporal region and right side of the face. MRI revealed left temporal and right masseter muscle hypertrophy, which to our knowledge has not been reported previously. The diagnosis of benign masticatory muscle hypertrophy was confirmed by biopsy.

To determine the effect of oropharyngeal air column area, parapharyngeal fat pad thickness, pterygoid muscle thickness, and parapharyngeal wall thickness on snoring. Fifty-six individuals (35 men, 21 women) complaining of snoring in a questionnaire administered to patients attending the MR unit for cervical MR imaging were enrolled as the study gro...

Glutaric aciduria or glutaric acidemia type I, an autosomal recessive disease, usually presents with an acute encephalopathic crisis in young children. We report the magnetic resonance (MR) and proton MR spectroscopy (MRS) imaging findings of a previously healthy 20-year-old man who presented with recurrent headaches. Organic acids from the patient...

The goal of our study was to compare the accuracy of computed tomography enteroclysis (CTE) to that of biopsy in detecting bowel wall alterations of the terminal ileum in Crohn's disease (CD). A total of 43 patients with either diagnosed or suspected CD (16 females, 28 males) underwent CTE and ileoscopy. Ileoscopy diagnosed 35 patients with CD of t...

We report CT and MR angiographic findings of a patient having right-sided aortic arch with retroesophageal left subclavian artery arising from Kommerell's diverticulum.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder of unknown etiology characterized by symmetric, erosive synovitis and sometimes multisystem involvement. Rheumatoid nodules have been reported in as many as 20-30% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis; however, they are not commonly seen in the feet. We present magnetic resonance (MR) findings of a ra...

Polyorchidism is a very rare developmental anomaly, in which more than two testes are present. The literature on polyorchidism was reviewed and variability of this rare anomaly is discussed. A 21-year-old man presented with a long history of a left scrotal lump that was otherwise asymptomatic. MRI shows isointensity of the scrotal lump with the two...
