摘要:

SUMMARYA case report of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP); also known as bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is presented. The histopathologic findings of COP are well documented in the literature and typically consist of organizing pneumonia of uniform appearance. This case report describes, in addition to the classic findings, more acute exudative inflammation not usually associated with this condition. Variation in the evolution of the pneumonic process is one of the reasons for reporting this case.The promotion of awareness of this treatable condition is the other reason for reporting this case. When multifocal areas of consolidation are demonstrated radiologically, particularly when peripheral and basal, and in the correct clinical setting, the possibility of COP should be entertained. This condition responds dramatically to steroid therapy, and has a good prognosis.

摘要:

SUMMARYThe medical imaging and clinical histories of three cases of haematoma of the urinary bladder in paediatrics were reviewed retrospectively. The sonographic findings are unique and diagnostic. Three distinctive sonographic features were observed. The haematomas were large, occupying most of the bladder lumen. They showed an echogenic thick, smooth rim and, in two cases, a laminated appearance with concentric layers of alternating hyper‐echogenicity and hypo‐echogenic

摘要:

SUMMARYThe appearance of an inflatable penile prosthesis, visualized on a short tau inversion recovery sequence, is reported, in a patient who had magnetic resonance imaging for pelvic pain subsequent to radical cystoprostatectomy for bladder carcinoma. With suppression of adjacent fat signal, the prosthesis is well delineated from adjacent structures. The fluid‐containing cylinders of the prosthesis are of very bright signal intensity, with the relief valve assembly of low signal intensit

SUMMARYThis case report describes diffuse hepatic uptake of a diphosphonate bone scan agent (Technetium‐99m‐MDP) in a patient with amyloidosis associated with a plasma cell dyscrasia. Amyloid infiltration is one of the more rare, but well recognized, causes of hepatic uptake of bone scan tracer. Other causes are also discussed in this case rep

摘要:

SUMMARYTwo cases of a falling anterior glenoid labrum are presented. The anterior labrum appears normal on supine double contrast computed tomographic arthrography (DCCTA). However, on prone DCCTA the anterior labrum falls away from the glenoid. The addition of prone DCCTA in these two cases reveals a labral tear, occult on routine supine DCCTA.

摘要:

SUMMARYA case of a clinically occult Richter's hernia of the splenic flexure, through an anterior abdominal wall defect, is described. In view of the initial absence of bowel obstruction with a partial or Richter's hernia, and in the absence of physical findings, the importance of computed tomography (CT) in demonstrating abdominal wall lesions is highlighted.

SUMMARYAn unusual case of appendicitis, which presented as an infected aortic aneurysm is described. Gas was noted in the wall of the aneurysm on abdominal radiographs and computed tomography, due to the formation of an appendico‐aortic fistula. Computed tomography also demonstrated a contained rupture of the aneurys
