ABSTRACT
Adrenal hemangiomas are rare benign tumors arising from the endothelial cells lining the blood vessels, which are made up of angioblastic cells. They are usually identified incidentally on radiographic imaging and post-operative histopathology is usually the definitive diagnosis. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging help in the detection of silent adrenal lesions. We present a case and outline the diagnostic work-up and treatment of incidentally detected adrenal hemangioma in a 66-year-old woman.
ABSTRACT
Hamartomas are uncommon benign tumours of axilla and breast. They show varied imaging appearances depending upon the proportion of various tissue elements present. The mammographic, ultrasound and elastographic appearances of a case of left axillary hamartoma is described in a 49 years old Indian patient.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate ultrasound findings inDengue Haemorrhagic Fever [DHF] and further topredict severity of DHF
Study design: Crosssectional study
Settings: Allied HospitalFaisalabad
Duration of study: 1st July 2011 to 30thNovember 2011
Sample size: 50 Patient
Materialand Methods: Ultrasound was performed on 50patients of ages between 6-59 years with clinicalsuspicion of DHF. Serological tests IgM and IgG onELIZA were performed to confirm the diagnosis,ultrasound was done on 2nd to 08th day all confirmedserologically 50 positive of DHF. These 50 patientdivided into two groups as DHF [Group-I] mild type45 patients and severe type of DHF [Group-II] 05Patient
Result: Group-I patients ultrasoundrevealed gall bladder wall thickening 86.6%,Pericholecystic fluid 44.4%, hepatomegaly 26.6%,splenomegaly 22.2%, ascites17.7%, right pleural effusion 8.8%, left pleuraleffusion nil and pancreatic enlargement 6.6%. InGroup-II ultrasonography revealed gall bladder wallthickening 100%,Pericholecystic fluid 60.0%,hepatomegaly 60.0%, splenomegaly 40.0%, ascites60.0%, right pleural effusion 60.0%, left pleuraleffusion 20.0%, pericardial effusion 20.0%,pancreatic enlargement 40.0% and 60.0% patientwith fulminant hepatic failure
Conclusion: Transabdomino-thoracic sonography can be used asadjunct modality in patients with suspected DHF todetect early signs suggestive of the disease prior toobtaining serologic confirmation test results,especially in a dengue fever epidemic area and alsouseful tool to predict severity of the disease
ABSTRACT
The purpose of study was to interrelate CT findings of depressed skull fracture with clinical findings. This was exploratory study. The study was conducted at Mayo Hospital Lahore and Lahore General Hospital. From March 9,2004 to October 2004. Fifty patients irrespective of their age and sex were included. Only the newly admitted patients in the above mentioned hospitals were included in the study. Previously diagnosed depressed skull fracture or the patients having associated facial abdominal and thoracic injuries were excluded. Patients having depressed skull fracture were clinically evaluated and thereafter subjected to 4[th] generation spiral CT scan at the radiology department of the above mentioned hospitals. Both bone and brain window were taken for various intracranial structures. Analysis of the data for association between the variables of clinical and CT findings revealed that patients with conscious level, with DSF and having mild head injury were less associated with scalp injury [p=0.1156] which is statistically insignificant. DSF with moderate and severe head injury had more probability of scalp injuries. Scalp laceration seen with DSF had association with scalp injury [p<0.001]. It is a key for clinician and neurosurgeon to use GCS score in congestion with the CT findings for early management of DSF

To establish the role of imaging in Ambiguous Genitalia. June 2006 to June 2008. Place: Radiology Department, Mayo Hospital, Lahore and Allied Hospital Faisalabad. 12 cases referred to us with Ambiguous Genitalia were taken and evaluated with Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Following findings were observed, incomplete scrotal fusion with Ambiguous genitalia was observed in 41.7% infants. Whereas testis were localized in 33.3% by ultrasound and remaining by MRI. Imaging diagnosed that 66.7% were male and remaining female. Lab tests and surgical evidence prove that imaging results were in agreement. Imaging has a conclusive role in Ambiguous Genitalia and Ultrasound is the first modality to look for Internal Genitalia
