Background: Inguinoscrotal diseases are one of the commonest group of disorders seen in clinical surgical practice. A wide range of swellings are seen in this region in children and includes hydrocele, torsion testis, ectopic testis, lymphadenopathy, inguinal hernias, cysts, epididymitis, orchitis, tumors etc. Vigilant clinical and radiological evaluation of inguinoscrotum for varying diseases helps in proper diagnosis and surgical management of its differential diagnosis.Methods: The present study was conducted as an observational study over a period of 10 months and enrolled a total of 50 patients.Results: In this study, 31 cases had hydrocele, 14 cases had inguinal hernia, 2 cases had epididymorchitis, 2 cases had lymphadenopathy and one case had idiopathic scrotal edema. Individual diseases had varying presentations, clinical findings and post-operative findings.Conclusions: There is a varying broad spectrum of swellings in the inguinoscrotal region in young male children. It was concluded that proper clinical and radiological evaluation of the patient helps to timely diagnose the disease and hence help in identifying correct approach to the management of the case.
Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of cholelithiasis that occurs as a result of occlusion of the intestinal lumen by a large sized gallstone accounting for 1-4% cases of small bowel obstruction. The aim of this work is to introduce a case report that emphasize the diagnostic and therapeutic management of gallstone ileus with an enterolith impacted in jejunum (an uncommon site).
Alveolar hydatid disease is a rare but potentially fatal parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus multilocularis. To the best of our knowledge, only few cases have been reported from India till date. We present 6 cases of pathologically proven alveolar hydatid disease with review of imaging findings. The objective of this case series was to share our experiences of pitfalls in diagnosis of alveolar hydatid disease. Materials and Methods. The study was conducted in Post Graduate Department of Radiodiagnosis and Imaging, Government Medical College, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. Our study was conducted between 6th January 2017 to 22nd May 2019. A total of 6 patients were taken up for study. The patients were evaluated clinically and investigated using the relevant imaging modalities. Diagnosis was confirmed by histopathologic examination following core biopsy of lesion. Results. There were two males and four females with most of patients in age group of 20 to 40 years. Imaging findings in our cases suggest that typical radiological appearance of alveolar hydatid disease can be summarized as an irregular hypoattenuating mass lesion having typical calcifications (can be peripheral, as well as central) with tiny cystic components.
Breast carcinoma is a heterogeneous group of tumors with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations, lesion characterization and diagnostic evaluation. Ductal carcinoma in situ accounts for 15%-20% of breast carcinomas detected in screened populations. Ductal carcinoma in situ has a variable appearance on mammography. The use of mammography has become as a very helpful tool for the early detection of larger number of patients with ductal carcinoma in situ and, thus, offering timely surgery and the need for the appropriate radiation treatment to patients. This study was undertaken as a hospital-based retrospective study to evaluate the varied spectrum of mammographic findings in 57 women with histopathological diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ. The spectrum of mammographic findings of ductal carcinoma in situ was found to vary widely. A thorough and vigilant inspection of a mammogram is necessary for all the patients to avoid the possibility of missing early diagnosis of this entity, since the findings are very subtle. Most cases show microcalcifications on mammograms and their early detection can help in early diagnosis, thereby offering conservative surgical approach to a patient. Microcalcifications can be present isolated or in association with a mass. These are mostly clustered in distribution followed by regional, segmental and ductal pattern of distribution. The morphology of microcalcifications is mostly amorphous, followed by pleiomorphic and fine heterogenous types. Hence, the mammogram must be interpreted with strict vigilance and proper attention to all aspects for early and correct diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ to help in proper guidance of its treatment.
Abdominal trauma is of two varieties including blunt and penetrating injury. In present scenario, Computed Tomography scan has become the main diagnostic tool for evaluating injuries to major abdominal organs including liver, pancreas, spleen, kidney, small gut, large gut and mesentery. The study was undertaken to characterise the imaging features of various organs injuries in cases of abdominal trauma using multi detector computed tomography. It was found that CT provides a detailed and elusive information regarding the injury to various organs and vessels. Combined efforts of the trauma team and emergency radiologist helps to permit proper triage of the patient and helps in management of the trauma cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
