Continuous progress in surgical technique of adjustable gastric banding and the increasing experience of surgeons have decreased the rate of complications. However, because different complications may have the same clinical presentation but require different treatment, to give a definitive diagnosis, the radiologist must be aware of the surgical procedures and possible sequelae.
Clinical assessment is crucial to evaluate chronic nasal obstruction. The lateral nasopharyngeal roentgenogram provides objective evaluation of the adenoid but its limitations should be considered. Nasal endoscopy may substitute for radiology but should be reserved for unusual cases.
Cervical aortic arch (CAA) is a rare congenital aortic anomaly. It can be associated with several cardiovascular abnormalities including aortic aneurysm, valvular disease, and pseudocoarctation. In this report, we present a case of CAA with combined association of both aneurysm formation and pseudocoarctation. This combination of anomalies is extremely uncommon, described in only 4 cases in the literature. In addition, our patient had an anomalous subaortic left brachiocephalic vein that, to our knowledge, was not previously described in the literature to be associated with CAA. The radiographic, multidetector computed tomography scan, and magnetic resonance angiography imaging findings are presented.
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a common extramammary primary malignancy in childhood that rarely metastasises to the breast. We present a patient with primary sinonasal rhabdomyosarcoma who was in remission when she developed breast metastases. We describe particular imaging findings of this disease, using ultrasound and MR imaging. To our knowledge, MR findings have only been described in one previous case report in the literature.
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.
