ABSTRACT
Congenital cystic eye (anophthalmia with cyst) is an extremely rare anomaly discovered at birth with few reported cases in the literature, resulting from partial or complete failure during invagination of the primary optic vesicle during fetal development. Herein we present the radiographic, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging findings of a unique case of congenital cystic eye associated with dermal appendages and advanced intracranial congenital anomalies in a 3-month-old boy.

OBJECTIVE: This retrospective study evaluates the relationship between periampullary duodenal diverticula and the common bile duct (CBD). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The patients were examined with HASTE breath hold MR cholangiography (MRC) using a 1 T Siemens Expert Plus Scanner. Axial T2-weighted images were also obtained in all patients. RESULTS: From the 66 patients, only 23 clearly depicted to have deverticula, while 31 patients were suspected to have diverticula and for the rest 12 patients, the MRC results were negative. From these 66 patients, the 18 patients proved to have stones in the CBD. CONCLUSION: MRC has very low sensitivity in the detection of duodenum diverticula, but is the method of choice to evaluate their relationship with the distal part of the CBD.
