A 29-year-old woman presented with low backache of 6 months duration. Systemic and neurological findings were unremarkable. Sphincter dysfunction was absent. CT scan (Figure: (a) sagittal view; (b) coronal reconstruction; (c) axial image) revealed a linear fat density area of thikness 3 mm decreasing in diameter caudally within the filum terminale extending from L2 to L5 vertebral level, suggesting fibrolipoma of filum terminale. The position of the conus medullaris was seen at normal level. There was no other abnormality. Fibrolipomas of the filum terminale are embryonic in origin and frequently asymptomatic. They are seen on CT and MR images as areas of fatty tissue along the filum terminale. These lipomas may result from developmental malformation that occurs during the formation of the neural tube and leads to inclusion of embryonic crests of fat cells. A fibrolipoma “infiltrates” the filum and tends to be tubular. Fibrolipoma affecting the filum terminale are rare benign tumours usually discovered at imaging and rarely symptomatic, sometimes associated with radicular pain. Low position of the conus medullaris (below L2 vertebra) is a spectrum of associated congenital abnormality that may lead to neurological, musculoskeletal, urological, or gastrointestinal abnormalities. Split cord malformation (diastematomyelia) and a dermal sinus are also possible findings.

Aim: To compare the safety and efficacy of percutaneous computed tomography (CT)-guided core-needle biopsy (CNB) of pulmonary central masses versus ultrasound (US)-guided procedure. Materials and Methods: CT-guided and US-guided CNB of central lung lesions performed between May 2014 and January 2022 were retrospectively analysed at our hospital. Biopsies were performed using 18-G needles with a coaxial system. CT images, histopathology reports, medical records, and procedural details for all patients were reviewed to evaluate the biopsy route, complications, and diagnostic accuracy. According to the imaging equipment used, biopsies were divided into US-guided and CT-guided approaches for comparison. Results: A total of 65 patients, who had undergone 65 CNBs for central lung masses were reviewed. Ultrasound guided biopsies of central lung masses (n=22) were performed safely via a direct pathway. In this group, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were 94.4%, 75% and 90.9%, respectively. In the CT guided biopsy group, there were 43 patients and we observed a sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 86.1%, 85.7% and 86%. There were statistically significant differences in the diagnostic accuracy and lesion visibility rate among the different biopsy techniques. There was no difference in complication rates between groups. Conclusion: Percutaneous US-guided CNB using a18-G catheter with axial is more efficient technique than CT-guided procedure in the cases of central lung biopsies with atelectasis; however, as this series was small, more data is required.

Background and purpose: Abnormal uterine bleeding is a common presenting symptom of most of the benign and malignant uterine lesions among perimenopausal women. Although age-related, systemic, iatrogenic, and hormonal causes are more common and can be diagnosed by readily available lab tests, structural causes (either benign or malignant) are of concern to the patients in perimenopausal age women, when imaging (TVS, and MRI) comes into play. This study aims to compare the role of TVS and MRI in the characterization of uterine lesions presented as perimenopausal bleeding. Results: This observational prospective study was performed at a single tertiary care centre, comprising 52 consecutive patients of perimenopausal bleeding. All patients were subjected to TVS and MRI examination and correlation with histopathology was done. Most of the patients (44.2%) in our study belonged to age group of 40 to 49 years, with mean age for benign and malignant lesions was 46.81±8.5 and 52.10 ±7.05 respectively (p = 0.025). For evaluation of malignant lesions, sensitivity and specificity of MRI (100% and 96.87% respectively) was found to be higher than TVS (60% and 93.75% respectively with false negative rate of 40%) when both were compared with histopathology. Conclusion: Although TVS continues to remain the mainstay imaging modality, MRI because of excellent tissue delineation has demonstrated its superiority to TVS, for depicting and characterizing the unique features of various uterine lesions.

We report three cases of fetal malformations diagnosed by MRI in Abidjan. Patients were referred for suspicion of fetal malformations on ultrasound. They were young (average age of 29 years), primipares, without any particular antecedent. We used a 1.5 T MRI, T2 coronal, T2 axial, BTFE coronal, BTFE sagittal, BTFE axial, diffusion and ADC cartography were realised. MRI diagnosed an arachnoid cyst, posterior fossa kystique tumor, hydranencephaly. MRI is an excellent diagnostic tool for fetal malformations. Its use should be routine in management of fetal malformations.

Quick Response Code Abstract: Background: Traumatic brain injury and its implications lead to huge public health issues. Annually, TBI affects approximately 50 million individuals all around the world. Head injury is the leading neurological reason for despondency and fatality, particularly influencing the youngsters. 85% to 90% are mild or moderate TBI. Objective: To find prevalence of traumatic brain injuries on computed tomography and that of severity classification from mild to severe grade. Material and Methods: 100 patients with history of head trauma were evaluated in this study, which came to emergency department of Public sector. GCS was taken and all were referred to CT. Noncontrast CT of brain was performed with slice thickness of 3mm from skull base to vertex. And analysis was done using (SPSS) Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 21. Results: Of 100 TBI patients, men composed 66% and women 34%. Falls (38%), violence (2%) and other causes (5%) all collectively cause fewer traumas than RTA (55%) specifically in patients of age group 16-26 years. Different traumatic brain injuries were noted including EDH (22%), IPH (23%), SAH (9%), SDH (27%), Contusion (4%) and infarction (15%). Noteworthy, most of the brain injuries were observed as mild TBI in 65% of cases accounting for more than moderate (21%) and severe TBI (14%). Conclusion: The study concludes that 65% of patients who acquired head trauma had mild TBI while remaining 21% and 14% consumed moderate and severe TBI respectively. Subdural and intraparenchymal hemorrhages are most frequent type of diagnosis in TBI.
摘要:背景:外伤性脑损伤及其影响是一个巨大的公共卫生问题。每年，全世界大约有5000万人受到脑外伤的影响。头部损伤是导致沮丧和死亡的主要神经学原因，尤其影响青少年。85%到90%是轻度或中度脑外伤。目的:了解外伤性脑损伤的ct表现及轻、重度分级情况。材料与方法:本研究对100例就诊于公立医院急诊科的有头部外伤史的患者进行评估。均行GCS检查，并行CT检查。颅脑非对比CT，自颅底至顶点厚度为3mm。分析使用SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 21)。结果:100例TBI患者中，男性占66%，女性占34%。跌落(38%)、暴力(2%)和其他原因(5%)造成的创伤总体上都少于RTA(55%)，特别是在16-26岁年龄组的患者中。不同的外伤性脑损伤包括EDH(22%)、IPH(23%)、SAH(9%)、SDH(27%)、挫伤(4%)和梗死(15%)。值得注意的是，65%的病例观察到大多数脑损伤为轻度TBI，超过中度(21%)和重度TBI(14%)。结论:该研究得出65%的获得性头部创伤患者为轻度TBI，其余21%和14%分别为中度和重度TBI。硬膜下和实质内出血是TBI中最常见的诊断类型。

Quick Response Code Abstract: Background: Brain Atrophy refers to the continuous loss of brain cells with the time and loss of connections between these neurons of brain tissues. Brain atrophy can be considered as the ultimate organ effect of cardiovascular risk factors. Advanced brain atrophy is described following hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. Objective: To evaluate the frequency of brain atrophy and risk factors in stroke patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 150 patients having ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke between the periods of March 2020 to February 2021. The data was collected from the emergency department of Tertiary care Government hospital. The patients included were 68 males & 82 females examined on Computed Tomography. Changes of Evans Index were taken as a marker of brain atrophy on Computed Tomography. Results: Out of 150 stroke patients, 79 patients (49=males and 30= females) had brain atrophy with a mean age of 55.51. In Atrophic patients, 49 had hypertension, 30 had diabetes mellitus, 67 had ventriculomegaly, 39 had seizures, 42 had infarction, 66 had cognitive impairment, 18 had Depression, 66 had ischemic, and 13 had a hemorrhagic stroke. Conclusion: In conclusion, post-stroke consequences lead to brain atrophy and are also associated with various risk factors. In Ischemic stroke, brain atrophy is more prevalent than in hemorrhagic stroke.

Results: Out of 150 stroke patients, 79 patients (49=males and 30= females) had brain atrophy with a mean age of 55.51. In Atrophic patients, 49 had hypertension, 30 had diabetes mellitus, 67 had ventriculomegaly, 39 had seizures, 42 had infarction, 66 had cognitive impairment, 18 had Depression, 66 had ischemic, and 13 had a hemorrhagic stroke. Conclusion: In conclusion, post-stroke consequences lead to brain atrophy and are also associated with various risk factors. In Ischemic stroke, brain atrophy is more prevalent than in hemorrhagic stroke.","PeriodicalId":429686,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Radiology and Imaging Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124311839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
