Case Report: Large Multilocular Thymic Cyst: A Rare Finding in an HIV Positive Adult Female |
|
Xiao Shi, Farbod Nasseri, David M Berger, Arun C Nachiappan J Clin Imaging Sci 2012, 2:55 (30 August 2012) DOI:10.4103/2156-7514.100379 PMID:23029638Multilocular thymic cysts with follicular hyperplasia are uncommon masses that occur in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) positive individuals. These cysts mostly present in HIV positive children. Here we report a rare case of multilocular thymic cyst in an HIV positive adult female. In this case report, the radiologic findings of multilocular thymic cyst, management and prognosis are discussed. |

Case Report: Portal Vein Aneurysm Presenting with Obstructive Jaundice |
|
Chandana Lall, Sadhna Verma, Rajesh Gulati, Puneet Bhargava J Clin Imaging Sci 2012, 2:54 (30 August 2012) DOI:10.4103/2156-7514.100377 PMID:23029637To the best of our knowledge, a portal vein aneurysm presenting with obstructive jaundice has not been reported in the literature. The preferred treatment for these aneurysms is surgical and a shunting procedure should be considered in cases with portal hypertension to preserve portal vein flow when portal hypertension is present or is secondary to the aneurysm itself. In our case, due to patient's advanced age and co-morbidities, an endoscopic biliary stent was placed which led to successful resolution of symptoms of obstructive jaundice. |

Case Report: Breast Hemangioma: MR Appearance with Histopathological Correlation |
|
Rasha Ameen, Uday Mandalia, Amanda (Anne) Marr, Paula Mckensie J Clin Imaging Sci 2012, 2:53 (30 August 2012) DOI:10.4103/2156-7514.100376 PMID:23029636Breast hemangioma is a rare tumor and when small, it may be difficult to diagnose using conventional imaging techniques. In this report the MR appearance is described with histopathological correlation. |

Case Report: Imaging in the Diagnosis of Cemento-Ossifying Fibroma: A Case Series  |
|
R Mithra, Pavitra Baskaran, M Sathyakumar J Clin Imaging Sci 2012, 2:52 (30 August 2012) DOI:10.4103/2156-7514.100373 PMID:23029635Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous lesion belonging to the same category as fibrous dysplasia and cementifying dysplasia. These are slow-growing lesions that are seen in the third and fourth decades of life. Both the ossifying fibroma and cemento-ossifying fibroma represent two extremes of the same disease process since histologically both contain bone and cementum. However, the term cemento-ossifying fibroma is justified on the basis of clinical and radiological correlation. Radiographs have become an essential tool in the diagnosis of lesions in the jaw, where the anatomy is complex. Nowadays, CT provides information for diagnosis as well as treatment planning. In this case series, we report three cases of cemento-ossifying fibroma that were histologically confirmed and discuss the imaging findings. |

Case Report: Conservative Management of Type III Dens in Dente Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography |
|
K Pradeep, M Charlie, MA Kuttappa, Prasana Kumar Rao J Clin Imaging Sci 2012, 2:51 (30 August 2012) DOI:10.4103/2156-7514.100372 PMID:23029634Dens in dente, also known as dens invaginatus, dilated composite odontoma, or deep foramen caecum, is a developmental malformation that usually affects maxillary incisor teeth, particularly lateral incisors. It may occur in teeth anywhere within the jaws, other locations are comparatively rare. It can occur within both the crown and the root, although crown invaginations are more common. The use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is very helpful in endodontic diagnosis of complex anatomic variations. In this case we demonstrate the use of CBCT in the evaluation and endodontic management of a Type III dens in dente (Oehler's Type III). |

Case Report: Use of CBCT in the Successful Management of Endodontic Cases |
|
Dax Abraham, Nikhil Bahuguna, Rishi Manan J Clin Imaging Sci 2012, 2:50 (30 August 2012) DOI:10.4103/2156-7514.100370 PMID:23029633The purpose of this article is to emphasize the use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) for root canal treatment. Two case reports are presented where CBCT has been used to locate and eventually treat extra canals in maxillary first molars. Dental clinicians should be aware of the anatomical variations in maxillary molars. CBCT should be an essential part of the diagnosis prior to initiating root canal treatment. |

Case Report: Tension Gastrothorax Complicating Third Trimester of Pregnancy: Suspicion is the Key |
|
Rakesh Sharma, Deepak Rosha, Sananta K Dash, Trilok Chand J Clin Imaging Sci 2012, 2:49 (30 August 2012) DOI:10.4103/2156-7514.100367 PMID:23029632Gastrothorax is characterized by herniation of the stomach and other abdominal contents into the thoracic cavity either through the oesophageal hiatus or ruptured diaphragm. When gastrothorax causes pulmonary and hemodynamic compromise, due to compression of lungs and mediastinal structures, it is named as tension gastrothorax. Diagnosis of tension gastrothorax is often complicated during late pregnancy, because of unusual presentation, altered physiology, absence of trauma, hesitation about radiation exposure, and rarity of the condition. We report a case of a patient, in her 32nd week of pregnancy, who presented with left tension gastrothorax. Lower segment caesarean section was planned after steroid therapy, with all the preparations for thoracotomy. Intra-operatively, stomach, spleen, and colon were found herniated in the left hemithorax, through a ruptured left hemidiaphragm. Thoracotomy was done immediately after caesarean section, with reduction of herniated contents and repair of the defect in the diaphragm. The patient and her baby were discharged in stable condition 2 weeks after thoracotomy. |
