Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection caused by omnipresent fungi called Mucorales of class Phycomycetes. It mainly occurs in immunocompromised patients, and only early diagnosis with medical and surgical intervention remains the gold standard in managing it. Here, we present the case of a patient contracted with mucormycosis post his COVID-19 infection involving the rhino-orbito-maxillary area. The patient presented to our hospital with dental pain a month after his discharge. Since the mucormycosis cases were at a peak in this period, our team of doctors did a thorough examination of the patient, which revealed dental and ophthalmologic abnormalities. No clinical necrotic eschar in the palatine or nasal cavity was diagnosed, but magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a typical COVID-19 mucormycosis infection. Accordingly, prompt treatment with systemic amphotericin B was started. However, as the patient declined surgical intervention, we feared the worst outcome, which to our surprise showed no adverse progression.

Abstract Background Management of postoperative chylothorax usually consists of nutritional regimens, pharmacological therapies such as octreotide, and surgical therapies such as ligation of thoracic duct, but a clear consensus is yet to be reached. Further, the variation of the thoracic duct makes chylothorax difficult to treat. This report describes a rare case of chylothorax with an aberrant thoracic duct that was successfully treated using focal pleurodesis through interventional radiology (IVR). Case presentation The patient was a 52-year-old man with chylothorax after a thoracoscopic oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer. With conventional therapy, such as thoracostomy tube, octreotide or fibrogammin, a decrease in the amount of chyle was not achieved. Therefore, we performed lymphangiography and pleurodesis through IVR. The patient appeared to have an aberrant thoracic duct, as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, after focal pleurodesis, the leak of chyle was diminished, and the patient was discharged 66 days after admission. Conclusions Chylothorax remains a difficult complication. Focal pleurodesis through IVR can be one of the options to treat chylothorax.

Background: The multifocality and multicentrality of breast cancer (MFMCC) are the significant aspects that determine a specialist’s choice between applying breast-conserving therapy (BCT) or performing a mastectomy. This study aimed to assess the usefulness of mammography (MG), contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in women diagnosed with breast cancer before qualifying for surgical intervention to visualize other (additional) cancer foci. Methods: The study included 60 breast cancer cases out of 630 patients initially who underwent surgery due to breast cancer from January 2015 to April 2019. MG, CESM, and MRI were compared with each other in terms of the presence of MFMCC and assessed for compliance with the postoperative histopathological examination (HP). Results: Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of MFMCC in 33/60 (55%) patients. The sensitivity of MG in detecting MFMCC was 50%, and its specificity was 95.83%. For CESM, the sensitivity was 85.29%, and the specificity was 96.15%. For MRI, all the above-mentioned parameters were higher as follows: sensitivity—91.18%; specificity—92.31%. Conclusions: In patients with MFMCC, both CESM and MRI are highly sensitive in the detection of additional cancer foci. Both CESM and MRI change the extent of surgical intervention in every fourth patient.

ABSTRACT Cavernous hemangioma is a rare tumor of the adult larynx. These hemangiomas are confined to the larynx and generally asymptomatic. We present a rare case of a huge cavernous hemangioma in a 22-year-old patient who presented with stridor and a huge swelling in the neck, of acute onset. Detailed evaluation including 70° Hopkins laryngoscopy, contrastenhanced computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a vascular malformation with both intra- and extralaryngeal components. The typical findings of hemangioma with its management are highlighted in this article. Postoperatively, patient's voice improved and the stridor was relieved.

The multiseptate bladder is a congenital bladder anomaly that is very rare and often accompanied by other congenital abnormalities. This condition could result in intravesical obstruction and kidney failure in more serious conditions. A 3-year-old girl without any complaint was consulted by the Pediatric Surgery Department with postoperative cloacal type malformation anorectal (MAR) postero-sagittal anorecto-vagino-urethroplasty (PSARVUP) + sigmoidectomy. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the pelvis showed the appearance of four interconnected multiple fluid lesions. Cystoscopy was performed and found many septa with varied positions and forms. From the cystography during the operation, it was seen duplication of the right and left bladder. There was no further operative treatment in the field of urology because no urinary tract obstruction and normal renal function were found in this study.

We present the clinical, anatomic, and laboratory findings in a 4-month-old child with desmosplastic infantile ganglioglioma. Microtubule-associated protein-2 (AP18) and neuron-specific B-tubulin (TUJ-1) were more sensitive in detecting immature neural elements than synaptophysin. Despite the immature neuroblastic component, focal intermediate proliferation indices, microinvasion, presence of secondary features (extension into Virchow Robin spaces, perineuronal satellitosis), and subtotal resection, the child has done well, with striking improvement of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image, head size improvement, no tumor recurrence, and minimal neurological deficits.

Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of B-scan in predicting retinoblastoma (Rb) taking Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as a gold standard. A cross-sectional validation study was conducted in the Radiology Department of Fauji Foundation Hospital from  May 20 to Nov 20, 2017. Children fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected after informed consent and detailed history was taken for investigation of Rb. B-scan of both eyes was done using 7.5-10 MHz probe, followed by MRI of both eyes in the same patients using 1.5 Tesla MRI machine with the help of qualified MRI technicians. Data analysis was done by SPSS version 16.0. The diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of B-scan in prediction of Rb as compared to MRI was 90.45%, 82.28%, 90.54% and 90.28% respectively. The study concluded that diagnostic accuracy of B-scan as compared to MRI is substantial in Retinoblastoma. Continuous...

Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is an inborn disorder of amino acid metabolism, often presenting with neurological symptoms. We present the results of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) of the brain in a 16‐month‐old male patient with classic neurological and laboratory findings for MMA. MRI demonstrated the hyperintensity within globi pallidi both on T2‐weighted image and DWI during the acute episode of metabolic acidosis.

A rare case of a multicystic acoustic neuroma is reported. At computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) the tumor was found to cause hydrocephalus, and displacement of the brainstem. The multicystic character was revealed on CT, while MRI only showed the mass lesion and the common signal intensities for an acoustic neuroma. The differential diagnosis of a multicystic lesion in the cerebellopontine angle is discussed.

A newborn baby girl developed seizures right after birth. On the fourth day, the baby was examined using diffusion sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diagnosed to have neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy. Laboratory findings confirmed the diagnosis. This is the first case of neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD) where diffusion MRI sequence helped in the diagnosis. We find association of NALD with seizures at birth is an extremely rare occurrence, and so far, only one case has been mentioned in the literature.
