Importance of CT-Scanning in the evaluation of calcaneal fractures

The aim of the study is to evaluate the use fullness of CT in the calcaneal fractures. We reviewed retrospectively 20 cases of calcaneal fractures collected between 2000 and 2003. We describe the different CT-scan patterns in 20 calcaneal fractures, according to S and ers classification. CT-scan helps for underst and ing fractures displacements, for choosing surgical treatment and evaluating patient prognosis

[Unusual localization of ! spinal hydatid cyst]

We report one case of uncommon spinal hydatid cysts particular by its localization. It is intradural, localized with predilection in the big cistern cerebello-medullar. There is no involvement of adjacent vertebral discs and ligaments. We specify characteristic imaging features and polymorphism of this affection who can affect all anatomical structures. We emphasize MRI for diagnosis and follow-up in search for residual or recurrent lesions
