Gastrointestinal manifestations of CF are varied yet common and thus increasingly important to recognize. The sonographic, CT, and MRI abdominal findings in older children and adults with CF are presented.
Lipomas are rare intracranial lesions and are generally thought to be asymptomatic. The vast majority of intracranial lipomas are viewed as incidental findings on imaging studies and treated conservatively. Intracranial lipomas are frequently accompanied by additional intracranial congenital malformations, but only rarely has an association with subcutaneous lipomas been described. We report an infant with a subgaleal lipoma in the region of the anterior fontanelle connected to a large interhemispheric (pericallosal) lipoma via a tiny lipomatous stalk. Because of this association, infants who present with a subcutaneous lipoma of the scalp might be considered for MR imaging to evaluate for an intracranial component.
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.
