Intussusception, a condition in which one part of the intestine telescopes into another, primarily affects children under 18 months of age. This case report details the radiologic findings in a six-year-old child with a long-standing history of recurrent ileocolic intussusception, who presented with abdominal pain and was diagnosed with intussuscep...
Malignant rhabdoid tumor is a rare highly aggressive neoplasm that affects young children. It is composed of stromal and epithelial components and commonly arises from the kidney. The clinical presentation is usually nonspecific, and the common signs are palpable abdominal mass, hematuria, fever, anemia, and hypercalcemia. Here we present a case of...
Hinman syndrome, as is the case with many other rare conditions, is a disease very commonly under-considered or missed in the diagnosis of patients with the presenting symptoms. Clinical and radiographic manifestations of the condition are easily confused with neurogenic bladder without proper history collection and neurological examination. Patien...
The etiology of large artery aneurysms has long been established as secondary to atherosclerotic disease and degenerative changes in the vessel walls. Less common, are aneurysms of the visceral arteries; the splanchnic and renal arteries. Rarer yet, are inferior mesenteric artery aneurysms, accounting for approximately 1% of visceral artery aneurys...
Umbilical artery calcification is a rare finding with only a small number of cases reported on radiographs. To date, no cases have been described on ultrasound. Reported cases were limited to the horizontal segment of the medial umbilical ligament. This case report presents a unique case of ultrasound findings of bilateral umbilical artery calcific...

A Case-Based Multimodality Review of Pediatric Urinary Tract Obstruction Including Extrinsic Compression By Crossing Vessels
Splenogonadal fusion is a rare, frequently misdiagnosed, congenital anomaly in which the splenic tissue is abnormally attached to the gonadal or mesonephric remnants. It is commonly found as an incidental finding at autopsy, during orchiopexy or hernia repair. However, it can present as a testicular mass or as an acute scrotal pathology such as tes...
The term “Intra-Abdominal Focal Fat Infarction” (IFFI) encompasses a range of conditions where infarction of fatty tissue is the underlying pathological process, including Epiploic appendagitis, omental infarction, fat necrosis related to trauma or pancreatitis as well as rarer entities such as falciform ligament infarction. Uncomplicated IFFI is u...
Cerebral cavernous malformations are commonly seen in the cerebral parenchyma and
are extremely rare in septum pellucidum, with only few case reports in the literature. Similarly cavernous malformation involving cranial nerves is also rare. We report a case of cavernous malformations involving both septum pellucidum and trigeminal nerve in a 73 yea...
There are few reports in the scientific literature on the imaging features of right sided fixation of sigmoid colon in adult population, on Computed Tomography (CT). We present the imaging findings of right sided fixation of sigmoid colon and late onset Hirschsprung's disease in a 10 year old female and emphasize the need to consider this diagnosis...
Despite the overall decrease in incidence and mortality rates for older adults, colorectal cancer in young adults is increasing. We present a case of a 15-year-old male who presented with 1.5 weeks of intermittent, sharp, severe right-sided abdominal pain. Abdominal radiograph demonstrated an air-fluid level within the right hemiabdomen. Computed t...
Hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG) is a rare imaging finding in infants and usually indicative of a severe disease process such as necrotizing enterocolitis, bowel ischemia, or bowel wall rupture / infarction. The diagnosis of HPVG may have serious implications such as parenteral nutrition, antibiotics and even surgery. In this case, we present an 8-...
Approximately 13,500 children each year are treated for non-powder gun injuries of which approximately one-quarter of these injuries are puncture wounds. Although rare, vascular migration of the bullet or pellet (otherwise known as the “wandering bullet”) may result in downstream organ damage secondary to vascular or venous occlusion, most commonly...
We present a case of 6-year-old female with history of respiratory distress who went into respiratory failure requiring intubation. Patient was subsequently found to be in hypertensive crisis with hyponatremic hypochloremic metabolic acidosis and acute kidney injury. Renal ultrasound was performed to find the cause of hypertension. The ultrasound s...
Cat scratch disease is an infection caused by Bartonella Henselae with characteristic presentation of lymphadenopathy. Despite self-limited nature of the disease in most cases, it accounts for many lymph node biopsies performed since its imaging features can mimic lymphoma in appearance, thus requiring additional invasive procedures. Lack of restri...

Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI), previously known as BOLD venographic imaging (1997) is a fully flow compensated, three-dimensional, high spatial resolution, gradient echo MR imaging technique. It was renamed “susceptibility-weighted imaging” in 2004 because the sequence provides much more information than venography. SWI differs significantl...
Central nervous system involvement with Mumps is common with CSF pleocytosis occurring in around half of all the patients and clinically manifests meningitis in 1–10% [1]. Encephalitis is rare (0.1%) and occurs early in the illness with parotitis. An autoimmune process secondary to infection occurs a week later. These features probably represent tw...

"Reduction en masse of inguinal hernia" means reduction/migration of a hernial sac into the properitoneal space. We report the CT findings in a case of reduction en masse with strangulated obstruction. CT scan demonstrated a hernial sac with fibrous constriction band at the neck, situated in the properitoneal space superior to the inguinal region,...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the mainstay in the imaging evaluation of Mullerian agenesis, but is not routinely being utilized, particularly in India. Though sagittal MRI clearly demonstrates the absence or hypoplasia of the uterus and the axial images demonstrate the normal ovaries, it is the ability to identify and objectively evaluate oth...
Dear Sir,
This is in response to the article ‘Pictorial essay: PET/CT in tuberculosis’ by Harkirat et al. We could not agree more with the opinion of the authors. When PET/CT is drawing so much attention from the whole medical fraternity, particularly due to its very high sensitivity in cancer staging and re-staging, a very common and old disease...
Radiologic signs in CT evaluation of Acute abdominal emergencies
Transient hepatic attenuation difference (THAD) are areas of increased parenchymal enhancement visible during the hepatic arterial phase on hepatic CT.
THADs are associated with a large variety of liver disorders-Portal or hepatic vein thrombosis, cirrhosis, Budd- Chiari syndrome, biliary obstruction, trauma ,focal hepatic lesions and aberrant blo...
Left aortic arch with an aberrant right subclavian artery is the most common
anomaly of the aortic arch. Other rare anomalies include the occurrence of a
right aortic arch with an aberrant left subclavian artery that has a
diverticulum at its site of origin, known as Kommerell's diverticulum. Rightsided
aortic arch with an aberrant left subclavian...
Small bowel obstruction is a common cause of abdominal emergency. Diagnosis helps effective management and prevents complications. CT is an effective tool in evaluation of small bowel obstruction. The small bowel feces sign is a finding observed in small bowel obstruction on Helical CT. It is defined as presence of feces like material in the lumen...
