ABSTRACT
Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone, bone marrow and surrounding soft tissue. Pediatric osteomyelitis can be a challenging problem to both the clinician and the radiologist as the clinical presentation can be variable in severity, and laboratory results are relatively unsupportive in the diagnostic workup. Radiology plays an important role in its diagnosis and can also be helpful to guide treatment and intervention
ABSTRACT
Intestinal malrotation occurs in approximately 1 in 500 births. They are considered to correspond to 3‑5% of surgical obstructions, and they appear in 0.5% of radiological series. The overall incidence of malrotation, however, is unknown because some patients present later in life or remain asymptomatic for life and many are detected as an incidental finding. The presentation is nonspecific, and the index of suspicion for malrotation progressively decreases as age increases, the clinical diagnosis is usually not considered in the initial evaluation. We present you very unusual type of intestinal malrotation, an isolated inferior mesenteric artery (hindgut) malrotation with its multidetector computed tomography findings in two young males.
ABSTRACT
A gossypiboma also known as ‘textiloma’ or ‘cottonoid’ is a term used to describe a foreign object (nonabsorbable surgical material), that is left behind in a body cavity during an operation. The manifestations and complications of gossypiboma are so variable that diagnosis may be difficult and patient morbidity is thus significant. Moreover, such foreign bodies can often mimic tumors or abscesses. Here we discuss a case of pelvic gossypiboma that presented as a mass in the pelvis associated with abdominal pain in a post ovarian cystectomy case. The diagnosis was suggested on computed tomography (CT). The diagnosis was confirmed on surgery and the gossypiboma was retrieved successfully.
