Hysterosalpingography and ultrasonography findings of female genital tuberculosis

Genital tuberculosis (TB) is an important cause of female infertility in the world, especially in developing countries. Majority of infertility cases are due to involvement of the fallopian tubes (92%–100%), endometrial cavity (50%), and ovaries (10%–30%); cervical and vulvovaginal TB are uncommon. Genital TB has characteristic radiological appearances based on the stage of the disease process (acute inflammatory or chronic fibrotic) and the organ of involvement. Hysterosalpingography (HSG) and ultrasonography (US) remain the main imaging modalities used in the diagnosis of genital TB. HSG is the primary modality for evaluating uterine, fallopian tube, and peritubal involvement and also helps in evaluating tubal patency. US, on the other hand, allows simultaneous evaluation of ovarian and extrapelvic involvement

Chronic retained esophageal foreign body masquerading as a mediastinal mass

Foreign body ingestion is a common problem in children, coin being the usual offender in most of the cases. In the majority of the times, they pass through the esophagus without any complication. It is rare to have complications such as perioesphagitis, peri esophageal abscess, vascular fistula or carotid rupture and still rare to have the condition silent for 20 long years and presenting with acute symptoms. We report a case of retained esophageal foreign body presenting as recent onset dysphagia and mediastinal widening

An unusual consequence of an usual condition: Spontaneous psoas urinoma in a case of urinary tract obstruction

Urinoma and urine leaks can occur at any level from the calyx to the urethra. An urinoma is an encapsulated collection of urine in any confined space or may present as ascites. Urinoma can occur due to multiple causes involving two broad categories-nonobstructive and obstructive. We present a rare case of urinoma in the iliopsoas compartment in a case of urinary tract obstruction due to ureteric calculus. Though, urinomas in various compartments including the iliopsoas are a relatively common occurrence due to iatrogenic trauma like pelvic, gynecological, retroperitoneal and gynecologic surgeries; obstructive causes including ureteric calculi are rare and even rarely reported. Timely recognition and treatment of this uncommon condition is important to avoid complications like abscess formation and electrolyte imbalances

PVNS or pseudo aneurysm: MRI-problem solving or misleading?

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a benign neoplastic process affecting the synovium.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered as the imaging modality of choice, where PVNS is seen as a soft tissue lesion affecting the synovium with characteristic hypointense signal on T2-weighted images (T2WI) and typically blooming on gradient echo (GRE) sequences. MRI can sometimes be misleading, with many non-neoplastic pathologies having a tendency of recurrent bleeding closely mimicking PVNS. We report a case  of pseudoaneurysm from posterior circumflex humeral artery, a branch of axillary artery, secondary to recurrent shoulder dislocation mimicking PVNS on MRI
