RESUMEN
Case?Presentation Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a relatively rare bone tumor of cartilaginous origin and it comprises less than 1% of all primary bony tumors. Clavicle is an unusual site of involvement for any bone tumor and may produce diagnostic dilemma. Approximately only 1% of all primary bone tumors may involve the clavicle. The literature on clinical features and outcome of CMF clavicle remains sparse. Conclusion?We present an unusual case of CMF clavicle in which the medial aspect of the clavicle gradually disappeared on radiographs. CMF should be included in the differential diagnoses of disappearing bone disease.
RESUMEN
Tectocerebellar dysraphia is a rare constellation of malformations comprising of occipital encephalocele, aplasia of the cerebellar vermis and deformity of the tectum. We describe a 7 month old infant who presented with tectocerebellar dysraphia associated with double outlet right ventricle, pulmonary stenosis and abdominal situs inversus. This association has not been reported in the literature, to the best of our knowledge.

Infantile haemangio-endothelioma of liver is the most common symptomatic vascular tumour of liver. A 6-month-old female was admitted for evaluation of a mass in the right hypochondrium. It extended 5 cm below the right costal margin. USG of the liver revealed multiple hypo-echoic lesions within the liver. Non-contrast CT images showed multiple hypo-attenuating masses of lower density than the surrounding liver. A postcontrast CT revealed intense enhancement of all the lesions. The findings suggested an infantile haemangio-endothelioma of the liver. On follow-up USG after 8 months near complete involution of the mass was revealed.

A rare case of moyamoya disease in a 9-year-old female presented with behavioural disturbances and recurrent hemiparetic attacks is reported. Moyamoya disease is an uncommon form of arteritis which affects the cerebrovascular circulation. Magnetic resonance angiography is a non-invasive technique for evaluation of the carotid and vertebrobasilar circulation. The magnetic resonance angiography findings are typical and characteristic of this disease.

Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary condition characterized by early onset of progressive movement alteration that include dystonia, rigidity and choreoathetosis usually associated with pyramidal signs and mental deterioration. We report two sisters where diagnosis was missed till MRI showed classic imaging findings. Mutation analysis in one, revealed homozygous mutations in the PANK 2 gene. The need for clinical recognition of this entity and differentiation of this form from other static and progressive neurological illnesses is emphasized.
