Brain Atrophy and Hypomyelination Associated with Iatrogenic Cushing’s Syndrome in an Infant
Prolonged use of topical corticosteroids, particularly in infants, albeit rare, may lead to Cushing's syndrome. Central nervous system abnormalities including brain atrophy and delayed myelination on cranial magnetic resonance imaging has been reported in patients with corticosteroid treatment. We herein report a 5-month-old female infant with brain atrophy and myelination delay that might be due to iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome caused by topical corticosteroid use
Dural sinus vein thrombosis in a patient with colon cancer treated with FOLFIRI/bevacizumab
The adverse effects of regimes in cancer treatment have forced us to
change to new targeted therapy options. Understanding these side
effects, which can lead to discontinuation of the new therapy
strategies, will allow the clinical management of these side effects
and result in continuing therapies with effective medications.
Bevacizumab, which is an IgG1 antibody against vascular endothelial
growth factor, has side effects such as proteinuria, hypertension,
venous and arterial thromboembolic events, and hemorrhage. This is the
first reported case of dural sinus vein thrombosis, during the
treatment with bevacizumab

Prolonged use of topical corticosteroids, particularly in infants, albeit rare, may lead to Cushing syndrome. Central nervous system abnormalities including brain atrophy and delayed myelination on cranial magnetic resonance imaging has been reported in patients with corticosteroid treatment. We herein report a 5-month-old female infant referred to Department of Pediatric Endocrinology, Edirne, Turkey with brain atrophy and myelination delay that might be due to iatrogenic Cushing syndrome caused by topical corticosteroid use
Hepatic pseudolesion around the falciform ligament: Prevalence, aberrant venous supply, and fatty infiltration evaluated by multidetector computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and aberrant venous supply (inferior veins of Sappey) of hypoattenuating hepatic pseudolesions seen around the falciform ligament on portal-dominant phase multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and the frequency of fatty infiltration of these pseudolesions on chemical-shift magnetic resonance imaging
CT-angiographic demonstration of hepatic collateral pathways due to superior vena cava obstruction in Behcet disease
Behcet disease (BD) is a chronic multisystemic inflammatory disorder, mainly characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcers, skin lesions, and uveitis. Large vein thrombosis in BD is unusual; when present, it is most frequently seen in the inferior or superior vena cava (SVC). The authors describe an unusual hepatic pseudolesion caused by abnormal focal enhancement through collateral pathways to the liver in two BD patients with SVC occlusion on three-dimensional multi-detector computed tomography, using volume rendering and maximum intensity projection techniques. BD should be suspected in patients presenting a focal increased hepatic enhancement area with collaterals caused by occlusion of the SVC without evidence of a hypercoagulable state or malignant mediastinal or thoracic venous inlet obstruction
Incidental Pancreatic Lipomas: Computed Tomography Imaging Findings with Emphasis on Diagnostic Challenges
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the computed tomography (CT) findings of pancreatic lipomas of 9 cases, with emphasis to diagnostic challenges
