Vesical varix in cirrhosis of liver.

Vesical varices in portal hypertension are rare. We report a patient with portal hypertension who developed recurrent painless hematuria. Cystoscopy was normal. Doppler ultrasound and MR angiography showed a dilated paraumbilical vein within the falciform ligament coursing down to the urinary bladder wall and draining into the right internal iliac vein. He underwent liver transplantation for decompensated chronic liver disease. He is in good health and has not had further episodes of hematuria.

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis : CT and MR imaging in a rapidly progressive case.

We report the findings on CT and MR imaging in a patient with rapidly progressive subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), which correlated with the clinical progression of the disease. In view of the rapid neurological deterioration and CSF pleocytosis, a brain biopsy was done and this confirmed the diagnosis.
