Intracranial epidermoid cysts are rare, congenital, benign tumors, usually have no clinical implications and remain asymptomatic for years. The diagnosis of pineal cyst is usually established by MRI with defined radiological criteria to distinguish benign pineal cyst from tumors of this area. In most cases no treatment and no follow up is necessary.
Saccular-shaped aortic abdominal aneurysms (SaAAA) are a rare but serious condition, their major complication is the rupture or cracking of the aortic wall leading to hemorrhagic shock and most frequently resulting in a fatal outcome. Imaging and particularly Multidetecter Row CT (MDCT) plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of this condition. It is actually the imaging modality of choice in establishing a precise pre-operative evaluation of AAAs, by accurately visualizing the aneurysm, screening for signs of complications, secondary locations and anatomical variations. We present a rare case of a large saccular aneurysm of the infra renal abdominal aorta with a parietal thrombus complicated by extended vertebral lytic lesions and in which the progression was marked by a cracking of the aneurysm.
Swelling in the inguinal region of a woman may result from a number of conditions. Hydrocele of the canal of Nuck is a rare condition seen in females which is an extension of the peritoneum into the inguinal canal. It may be difficult to make a specific diagnosis based upon the history and physical examination alone. This report describes a symptomatic 44-year-old woman in whom CT and ultrasound were helpful in diagnosing a hydrocele of the canal of Nuck. Through this work, we will present the results of the imaging leading to its positive diagnosis and its characterization.
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.
