Disorders of sexual development (DSD), apart from medical disease, is a psychosocial stigma to not only the patient but also their whole family. We present the case of a 24-year-old 46XX, raised as male, with ambiguous genitalia and cyclical hematuria with normal female internal genitalia and secondary sexual characteristics. This case underscores the influence of social stigma and the psychosocial vulnerability associated with DSD on individuals’ lives in developing countries.

Generative AI is an expanding domain that employs machine learning models to generate novel data that closely mimic pre existing data. ChatGPT and DALL-E can be customized for specific applications and are expected to transform healthcare, education, and communication. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) that can generate synthetic medical images closely mimicking actual patient data may substantially enhance machine learning model training datasets. They also translate medical images from one modality to another, improve medical imaging resolution, reduce radiation exposure, and boost image quality and detail. Despite their challenges, GANs have great potential in the field of medical imaging. The key obstacles are the need for Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) and computing resources to train GANs and the lack of established standards for generating synthetic images. Incorrectly labeled data for training other machine learning models can reduce performance, making ground-truth data labeling for healthcare AI more difficult. Generative AI is revolutionizing healthcare imaging, simplifying diagnosis, and propelling healthcare research and practice to new frontiers. Ensuring the reliability and safety of generated images in medical applications requires addressing ethical considerations and validating data.

Primary tumors of the omentum are one of the rare causes of large intra-abdominal masses and contribute to a limited number of reported cases in the medical literature. Here, we report a case of a male child with complaints of dull abdominal pain, suspected to be a giant omental lipoma radiologically, which was confirmed on histopathology after a complete surgical resection. The case highlights the importance of various radiological modalities for the diagnosis of omental lipomas and their importance in pre-operative workup to rule out malignant pathologies, and for better anatomical characterization of the lesion for assistance in surgical planning.

Double aortic arch (DAA) is a rare cause of esophageal compression. We present a case of a seven-month-old male infant who presented with complaints of dysphagia and wheezing during crying. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed a co-dominant double aortic arch forming a complete vascular ring around the trachea, causing its mild compression. Posteriorly, the aortic arch was seen, causing severe compression of the esophagus. The patient underwent double aortic arch repair and had an uneventful post-operative course, with resolution of the dysphagia.

Azygous anterior cerebral artery (AACA) is a rare anatomical variant and its occlusion may cause bifrontal infarct with variable neurological deficit and clinical presentation. In our case AACA thrombotic occlusion caused bifrontal infarcts leading to abnormal behavior. Early imaging with CT angiography or MRI with MRA is the key for early diagnosis and prompt management.

Fetus in fetu is a rare disorder with a reported incidence of 1 in 500,000 live births, with only 78 cases reported so far. The most common presentation is abdominal mass in a newborn or infant; however, presentation in later life is also possible. Early detection is by ultrasonography. Computerized tomography is rarely used. However, computerized tomography gives an excellent overview of anatomical information and its exact relation with the surrounding viscera. The present case series is an attempt to highlight the role of cross-sectional imaging in the pre- and post-operative management of this rare disorder.

We describe three cases of patients with atypical Parkinsonian syndrome (APS), who presented with gait disturbance, postural instability, decreasing facial expression, dyskinesia, and subjective cognitive impairment. The patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Brain for differential diagnosis of APS. MRI made it possible to offer a suggestive diagnosis and determine individual strategic management for patients with APS.
