Mobile kidney [Mobil böbrek]

Mobile, floating or wandering kidney, or medial nephroptosis has been defined as descensus and migration of kidney medially or anteriorly towards abdominal wall. Diagnosis of mobile kidney has mainly been done with clinical examination and intravenous urography in the supine and upright positions. In this study, a woman diagnosed as mobile kidney with symptoms is presented with the findings of clinical examination, intravenous urography, ultrasonography and computed tomography

Primary anaplastic cerebellar pilocytic astrocytoma: A case report

A case of primary anaplastic pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) and its clinicopathologic and radiologic features are reported. PA is a World Health Organization grade I tumor typically affecting children and young adults. Initial presentation of a PA with anaplastic features is particularly uncommon, and making a definitive diagnosis of primary anaplastic PA can be challenging. Increased recognition of primary anaplastic PA may prove useful for the clinical course and therapeutic stratification. © 2013 by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins

Mediastinal hemangioma (case report) [Mediastinal hemanjiyom.]

PubMedID: 15470623We present radiographic and computed tomographic findings of a mediastinal hemangioma, a very rare benign vascular tumor that comprises less than 0.5% of all mediastinal masses. Posteroanterior chest film showed a homogeneous opacity in the left upper zone that was contiguous with the mediastinum. Computed tomography demonstrated a mediastinal mass with inhomogeneous contrast enhancement and a small calcification

Case report: Pedunculated leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava [Inferior vena kavanin sapli leyomyosarkomu.]

PubMedID: 14661298Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava is a rare mesenchymal tumor which originates from the smooth muscle cells of the vascular wall. Its radiographic presentation varies from that of intraluminal lesions resulting in obstruction of the inferior vena cava to those of giant retroperitoneal masses extending to the surrounding perivascular tissues although still with minimal intraluminal protrusion. In this report, we present one such case in which a 31-year-old woman had complaints of severe abdominal pain, abdominal distension and vomiting. Computed tomography demonstrated a giant well-defined right-sided retroperitoneal mass extending from the subhepatic region down to the pelvis. She was operated on and the tumor was discovered to be attached to the wall of the inferior vena cava with a peduncle, a leiomyosarcoma being proven histologically. CT features of this rare tumor are presented in this report

Extrarenal pseudoaneurysm of the arterial anastomosis in a renal transplant: Endovascular coil embolization with balloon remodeling technique

PubMedID: 21529275Anastomotic pseudoaneurysms of transplanted kidneys are a very rare complication and encountered in less than 1% of such operations. They may be devastating and cause functional impairment and even loss of the graft. In this report, we present the first case of treatment of extrarenal pseudoaneurysm of arterial anastomosis in a renal transplant patient with endovascular coil embolization with the balloon remodeling technique. This method is mostly used in the treatment of wide-neck intracranial aneurysms. © 2011 Informa Healthcare USA, Inc

Benign rectal schwannoma

Schwannoma is a rare nerve sheath tumor which frequently occurs in the intracranial acoustic nerve and spinal nerves. It is extremely rare in the rectum. In this report, we present a case of benign rectal schwannoma with the findings of flouroscopy, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.

Osteopenia and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women

WOS: 000179908900013PubMed ID: 12485260Purpose: To compare the ability of the medial cortical thickness ratio to the width of the second metacarpal bone at the midshaft (MCR) in discriminating patients as normal, osteopenic or osteoporotic. Material and Methods: MCR was calculated from radiographs of 120 postmenopausal women. By dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, the mineral density was measured in the lumbar spine, the wrist and the femoral neck. Patients were grouped in accordance with the diagnostic criteria of WHO on the basis of t -scores. MCR values were compared with t -scores and the ability of the MCR technique in discriminating the patient groups was evaluated. Results: Analysis of radiogrammetric data revealed significant differences in MCR value between the 3 groups. The MCR was lower in patients with osteoporosis and osteopenia compared with the normal group. The mean value of MCR was also slightly lower in patients with osteoporosis than in those with osteopenia. Accuracy assessment (ROC analysis) of MCR in the discrimination of patients with osteoporosis showed that test accuracy was acceptable, but less accurate than spinal, wrist and femoral neck t -scores. Compared with t -scores, this test was found to fairly discriminate those with and without osteopenia. Conclusion: The MCR method can discriminate patients as osteoporotic or normal. However, it seems that the MCR method should not be used for decisions concerning treatment of osteoporosis because of its low accuracy and thereby a risk for misclassification
