RESUMEN
Acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANEC) is a rare disease well recognized in Japan but has not yet been reported from Indian subcontinent. We describe here a case of ANEC with the neuroimaging findings. P. vivax infection was detected as an associated finding and the treatment given.

Spontaneous intrahepatic hemorrhage with or without subcapsular extension is a rare and grave complication of pregnancy. We present a 22-year-old lady in whom liver rupture was noted on emergency caesarian section and later confirmed on contrast-enhanced CT scan. She gradually recovered following selective hepatic angiography and embolization.

Multi-detector CT (MDCT) is the latest advancement in the field of medical imaging. It has considerable advantage over single-detector helical CT in the form of shorter acquisition time, greater coverage, and superior image resolution. All these factors substantially increase the diagnostic accuracy of the examination by providing state-of-the-art image quality. Three-dimensional (3D) isotropic volume imaging is possible with MDCT and, it provides an excellent anatomy of the thorax thereby increasing the diagnostic yield comprehensively. With the advent of MDCT, there is paradigm shift in vascular imaging from conventional catheter angiography to MDCT angiography as this technique provides image quality that equals or surpasses that of conventional angiography. Recent advances in 3D volume rendering allows a fly through the tracheobronchial tree and the thoracic great vessels generating virtual endoscopic views in real-time. It is also helpful in imaging the musculo-skeletal system and the thoracic cage.

Meckel's diverticulum represents a patent omphalomesenteric duct at its junction with the ileum. Although it is a common anomaly, it is often a surgical surprise as the preoperative diagnosis is seldom established. We present an unusual case where the constellation of imaging findings was so typical that we could suggest this diagnosis prospectively and it was subsequently confirmed surgically.
