RESUMO
Four professional soccer players were investigated for acute or subacute pain in the inguinal region. Clinical tests were negative for an inguinal hernia or adductor tendinitis. Resisted hip flexion caused pain. MRI in these four patients showed the onset of iliopectineal bursitis, with signal abnormalities predominantly at the periphery of the psoas tendon in contact with the iliopectineal eminence. Ultrasound-guided steroid injection allowed the two players injected to continue their sporting activity. The two other players were treated by 3 and 7 days rest and oral anti-inflammatory treatment.

Two cases of extradural arachnoid cyst in the spinal canal were diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI correctly characterized the extradural location of the cysts as well as the cyst contents as CSF, thus establishing the diagnosis. MRI may be of predictive value in the postoperative prognosis.

Megalodolichobasilar artery (MDBA) is a vascular abnormality characterized by a regular increase in caliber and lengthening of the vertebrobasilar system (VBS), with varying degrees of displacement. Several physiopathological theories have been put forward. Clinically, MDBA may compress the cranial nerves and may be responsible for ischaemic accidents of the brain stem, hydrocephalus or mass syndrome. The radiological images may be misleading. The diagnosis of MDBA should be considered on the basis of CT findings, and its should be confirmed by vertebral arteriography at the slightest doubt.

The authors report a case of giant Meckel's diverticulum, presenting as a subumbilical abdominal mass, associated with an infectious picture and anemia in a 16 month-old boy. Epidemiologic, pathologic and clinical features of this rare disorder are reviewed as are the diagnostic means. The differential diagnosis with other cystic masses of the umbilical area (omphalo-mesenteric duct cyst, urachal cyst, mesenteric cyst, duplication) is discussed.
