Although the enhancement of the intrathecal spinal nerve roots is not specific to Guillain-Barré syndrome and can be seen in neoplasia and other inflammatory processes, the enhancement of only the anterior spinal nerve roots is strongly suggestive of Guillain-Barré syndrome.
GH should be administered carefully when treating girls with ISS, because GH treatment has great effects on vertical overgrowth of the mandible and can result in longer face.
A pathologic splenic rupture is rare, occurring primarily in a spleen affected by infective, hematological, and neoplastic disease. To the best of our knowledge, no prior reports of a pathologic splenic rupture due to scrub typhus exist. Intrasplenic pseudoaneurysms and focal infarctions are visible on an initial CT scan. Moreover, the spontaneous splenic rupture occurred a week later. We report a case of nontraumatic-splenic rupture in a patient with scrub typhus.
. A homogeneous mass lesion with similar to lower signal intensity than back muscle is seen in axial T2-(A) and coronal T1-weighted (B) images. Dynamic Gadolinium-enhanced coronal MR images (60 seconds (C) and 5 minutes (D) after contrast injection) show a mass with progressive contrast enhancement from the periphery to the center of the mass. Inhomogeneous and strong enhancement was left until 7 minutes after contrast injection (not shown here). We report a case of calcifying fibrous pseudotumor in the retroperitoneum. This is a rare soft tissue mass lesion with specific radiologic and pathologic findings, and it is the first reported case arising in the retroperitoneum. The CT, MR and angiographic findings are described.
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.
