ABSTRACT

Abstract Choroidal melanomas are the most common primary intraocular malignant tumor in adults. They tend to be more malignant; because of their location hidden behind the iris they can not be detected until they become larger. Therapeutic strategy is related by size, extension, number and location of tumor and growth patterns. High frequency ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) gives high resolution, cross-sectional images of the anterior segment lesions. Postequatorial lesions and intracranial extension of the melanomas are scanned by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We report a case of bilobed tumor with confusing appereance in preoperative imaging studies and macroscopy following enucleation. MRI is the perfect imaging method to reveal extension and size of the tumor in the posterior chamber. Combined use of UBM and MRI provides appropriate staging of ocular melanomas.


Resumo Melanomas coroidais são os tumores malignos intra-oculares primários mais comuns em adultos. Eles tendem a ser mais malignos; devido à sua localização ser escondida por detrás da íris eles não podem ser detectados até se tornarem maiores. A estratégia terapêutica está relacionada com tamanho, extensão, número e localização dos padrões tumorais e de crescimento. O biomicroscopio ultra-sónico de alta frequência (BMU) fornece imagens transversais de alta resolução das lesões do segmento anterior. Lesões pós-equatoriais e de extensão intracraniana dos melanomas são digitalizadas em ressonância magnética (RM). Relatamos um caso de tumor com dois lóbulos, com aparência confusa em exames de imagem pré-operatórios e macroscopia após enucleação. A RM é o método de imagem perfeito para revelar a extensão e o tamanho do tumor na câmara posterior. O uso combinado de BMU e MRI fornece o faseamento apropriado dos melanomas oculares.

ABSTRACT

Crista phallica (CP) is used to determine sex in anthropology and criminal forensic medicine; however, it does not exist in anatomic and radiological terminology. The purpose of this retrospective study is morphometric analysis of the CP. We studied radiographs displaying several different clinical indications from patients whose bone maturation were fully complete. The crista phallica located on both sides of the medial portion of ischiopubic ramus (IPR) were localized and their peak points were determined. The distance from these peak points to the inner cortex of IPRs were measured, as well as the angles between the tangents passing the peak points from both sides. We determined the distance of the IPR (DIPR) for males and females sequentially as 21.3 +/- 3.5 mm, and 17 +/-2.8 mm, angle of CP (ACP) as 149.1 +/-15.7, and 163.5 +/-13.4. It was identified that ACP for females is less than ACP for males (p<0.001). ACP and DIPR alone are not sufficient criteria to determine sex. Therefore, the results of our findings show that it would be more useful to study other specifications and their metric analysis in order to determine sex.


La cresta fálica (Crista phallica, CP) se utiliza para determinación de sexo en antropología y la medicina forense, sin embargo, no existe en la terminología anatómica y radiológica. El objetivo de este estudio retrospectivo es el análisis morfométrico de la CP. Estudiamos radiografías que muestran varias indicaciones clínicas diferentes de pacientes cuya maduración ósea fue totalmente completa. La cresta fálica se situó a ambos lados de la porción medial de la rama isquio-pubiana (RIP), donde su localización y sus puntos más altos fueron determinados. La distancia desde estos puntos más altos a la corteza interna de la RIP fueron medidos, así como los ángulos entre las tangentes que pasaron por los puntos más altos de ambos lados. Se determinó la distancia de la RIP (DRIP) para hombres y mujeres de forma secuencial como 21,3 +/- 3,5 mm, y 17 +/- 2,8 mm, ángulo de la CP (ACP) como 149,1 +/- 15,7 y 163,5 +/- 13,4. Se identificó que los ACP para mujeres fueron menores que las ACP para los hombres (p <0,001). ACP y DRIP por sí solas no son criterios suficientes para determinar el sexo. Por lo tanto, los resultados de nuestros hallazgos muestran que sería más útil para estudiar otras especificaciones y sus análisis métricos a fin de determinar el sexo.
