Ankle impingement syndromes, prevalent among athletes, result in significant pain and limited joint mobility. Using imaging techniques (such as radiographs, CT, MRI, and ultrasound) not only assists in diagnosis but also helps in understanding the anatomical cause of the impingement, directing therapeutic injections, and pre-surgery planning. This article presents a case of a 36-year-old female with a two-year history of chronic ankle pain, associated with recurrent swelling and decreased mobility who underwent a radiographic imaging and MRI revealing a fracture of the Stieda process as a cause of posterior ankle impingement (PAI) syndrome. The diagnosis of ankle impingement syndromes mainly depends on comprehensive clinical examination and patient's medical history, but MRI was proved crucial for diagnosing syndromes affecting the posterior areas and excluding other causes of ankle pain.
踝关节撞击综合征在运动员中很常见，会导致明显的疼痛和关节活动受限。使用成像技术（如 X 光片、CT、核磁共振成像和超声波）不仅有助于诊断，还有助于了解撞击的解剖学原因、指导治疗注射和手术前计划。本文介绍了一例 36 岁女性的病例，她有两年的慢性踝关节疼痛病史，并伴有反复肿胀和活动度下降，在接受放射成像和核磁共振成像检查后发现斯蒂达突骨折是导致后踝撞击综合征（PAI）的原因。踝关节撞击综合征的诊断主要取决于全面的临床检查和患者的病史，但核磁共振成像被证明是诊断影响后部的综合征和排除其他踝关节疼痛原因的关键。

Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder characterized by anomalies in thought, perception, and behavior. Despite advancements in pharmaceutical treatments, managing the disorder remains challenging. Recent research has focused on understanding its biological basis, with particular attention to subcortical structures like the basal ganglia and thalamus, including the globus pallidus. Anomalies in the globus pallidus have been associated with various neurological and psychiatric conditions, showcasing its importance in schizophrenia. However, studies specifically examining abnormalities within the globus pallidus in schizophrenia are limited. In this case report we present the case of a 22-year-old male, Mr. A, diagnosed with schizophrenia. Mr. A exhibited auditory hallucinations, paranoid delusions, and disorganized behavior. Neurological examinations and laboratory tests ruled out underlying medical causes, prompting further investigation with neuroimaging studies. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral and symmetrical signal anomalies in the posterior part of the globus pallidus, consistent with previous research implicating the basal ganglia in schizophrenia.
精神分裂症是一种复杂的精神疾病，以思维、感知和行为异常为特征。尽管在药物治疗方面取得了进步，但控制这种疾病仍然具有挑战性。近期研究的重点是了解其生物学基础，尤其关注皮层下结构，如基底节和丘脑，包括苍白球。苍白球的异常与多种神经和精神疾病有关，显示了它在精神分裂症中的重要性。然而，专门研究精神分裂症患者的苍白球异常的研究非常有限。在本病例报告中，我们介绍了一名被诊断为精神分裂症的 22 岁男性 A 先生的病例。A 先生表现出幻听、偏执性妄想和行为紊乱。神经系统检查和实验室检测排除了潜在的病因，因此需要进一步进行神经影像学检查。磁共振成像显示，球状苍白球后部出现双侧对称性信号异常，这与之前有关基底节与精神分裂症的研究结果一致。

Hydatid cysts in soft tissues remain a rare occurrence, even in endemic regions. This study underscores the crucial importance of imaging modalities for positive diagnosis and topography, providing optimal guidance for effective management strategies. In this article, we present a case of soft tissue hydatidosis in the thigh, directly explored through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), complemented by soft tissue ultrasound. The observed mass contained vesicles, localized in the thigh. The diagnosis of hydatidosis suggested by ultrasound was confirmed by MRI. A curative surgical intervention was performed on our patient. The diagnosis of soft tissue hydatidosis can be established when ultrasound and/or MRI reveal a multivesicular appearance. MRI proves to be the most useful imaging modality in cases of atypical or pseudo-solid lesions. The peri-cystic enhancement serves as an indicative feature of soft tissue hydatidosis compared to other locations. The study emphasizes the rarity of muscular localization of hydatid cysts and highlights the crucial importance of radiological, surgical, and preventive diagnostic approaches in managing this pathology. The heightened sensitivity of MRI in cases of atypical ultrasound features underscores its central role in the contemporary management of this complex condition, enhancing both diagnostic precision and treatment planning.

The ileosigmoid knot, although rare, represents a complex surgical emergency requiring rapid and precise man agement. Imaging, particularly computed tomography (CT), plays a crucial role in diagnosis by highlighting specific features such as the "spiral sign" and signs of necrosis. Early detection through these imaging modalities allows for prompt surgical intervention, minimizing the risks of severe complications associated with intestinal torsion. The speed of surgical intervention is crucial to prevent progression to ischemic necrosis, reduce the risks of intestinal perforation, peritonitis, and other serious complications. Various surgical modalities, such as colonic diversion, detorsion, segmental resection, or extended resection in case of necrosis, must be tailored to the clinical presentation and intraoperative findings. Ultimately, the combination of advanced radiological imaging and swift surgical intervention is the key to successful management of the ileosigmoid knot. Emphasizing awareness among healthcare professionals of this rare condition and educating patients to recognize symptoms promptly will contribute to the early and effective management of this infrequent surgical l emergency.

Pancreatic injuries can be difficult to diagnose, given the low frequency of these injuries and the associated nonspecific clinical features, subtle imaging findings, and multiorgan trauma. The two most important determinants of outcome following pancreatic injury are the time from injury to definitive diagnosis and the status of the main pancreatic duct (MPD). We present two cases highlighting the diverse spectrum of post-traumatic pancreatic pseudocysts to underscore the importance of individualized management strategies.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the bladder is a rare variant of bladder cancer, accounting for less than 5% of cases. Its occurrence shows a balanced distribution across sexes, although it tends to affect the Black population disproportionately. Clinical presentation is often nonspecific, with hematuria being the predominant symptom. Diagnosis relies on endoscopic resection of the bladder followed by histopathological examination. Due to its rarity, treatment approaches remain a subject of debate. However, radical cystectomy with extensive lymph node dissection is typically favored. In this study, we present a series comprising 2 cases of squamous cell carcinoma. Our objective is to shed light on the epidemiological, clinical, histopathological, and therapeutic aspects associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder. The two cases presented in this study highlight the importance of accurate diagnosis and classification of squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder for optimal treatment planning and patient outcomes.
