Cardiac lipoma in a patient with a history of malignant tumours: a case report

Cardiac tumours are relatively rare. Most of them do not cause clinical symptoms so that prior to the introduction of modern methods of investigation they were predominately incidental findings during autopsies or open heart surgery

Scintigraphic features of Morquio's syndrome: a case report

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Introduction</p> <p>To the best of our knowledge, we present for the first time the bone scintigraphy findings of a patient with Morquio's syndrome.</p> <p>Case presentation</p> <p>A 46-year-old Caucasian man with Morquio's syndrome presented with lower back pain six weeks after a left total hip replacement. A whole body bone scan demonstrated an anthropomorphic skeletal pattern consistent with a mucopolysaccharide storage disease, thereby showing the cause of the patient's pain.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>To the best of our knowledge, the bone scintigraphy findings of a case of Morquio's syndrome have never before been published. We present our case report to add to the knowledge we have of this rare disease.</p

The role of CT imaging in the congenital absence of a cervical spine pedicle: a case report and review of the literature

The congenital absence of a cervical spine pedicle is a rare clinical condition which is usually picked up as an incidental finding on imaging studies performed on patients complaining of neck pain following trauma. It is important to recognize that the finding is not traumatic in origin as this has implications regarding the treatment. We report a case of congenital absence of a cervical spine pedicle and present a review of the literature

Stent-assisted coil embolization of a wide-necked renal artery aneurysm

We present a case of stent-assisted coil embolization of a wide-necked renal artery aneurysm performed at our institution. The technique involved a stent being delivered over the neck of the aneurysm. Subsequently a catheter was placed into the aneurysm through the stent mesh and the aneurysm was then filled with detachable coils. Complete aneurysm occlusion was obtained and there was no evidence to suggest renal infarction on a follow-up contrast CT scan 6 months later. Our preliminary experience suggests that stent-assisted coil embolization of wide-necked renal artery aneurysms is a technically challenging but potentially effective renal-sparing endovascular approach
