The LubMedNet services for data storage and télédistribution

This paper is reports several Radiological and Oncological Information Systems integrated by a very efficient medical network system. The system covers the entire image flowpath in the Diagnostic Radiology Department (i.e. image acquisition, processing, archiving, long term storage) and allows for transmitting medical images through Municipal Area Network. The system has been working reliably since November 1999. About 22000 CT examinations have been archived using our system. Over 300 special examinations for radiotherapy planning have been sent to the Lublin Oncology Centre

Tethered cord syndrome : case report

Background: Tethered cord syndrome is one of the filum terminale congenital defects. It can coexist with anomalies of the spinal canal and column, as well as with anorectal defects. Case report: The authors present a case of tethered cord syndrome diagnosed in a 45-year-old woman. She showed typical lumbo-sacral radicular syndrome with no neurological deficits and no bowel/bladder dysfunction. The anomaly coexisted with fibrolipoma, spina bifida and Tarlov cyst. Conclusions: Magnetic resonance imaging is the method of choice in diagnostics of tethered cord syndrome. It provides crucial information, which is necessary for planning surgical treatment of the anomaly

Corpus callosum dysgenesis : a report of four different cases

Background: Callosal anomalies account for approximately 2% of all CNS congenital malformations. Dysgenesis of the corpus callosum (complete or partial agenesis) can be an isolated CNS malformation or coexist with other pathologies. Case report: In all four cases corpus callosum dysgenesis was revealed by MRI (1.5T). The presented cases show examples of wide spectrum of all callosal anomalies - complete agenesis in case 1 and different sort of partial agenesis in cases 2, 3 and 4. In all the presented cases the callosal defect was found incidentally. Conclusions: Diagnostics of the corpus callosum malformations is based on ultrasound scans (pre- and postnatal), CT and most of all, the MR. Except for major callosal defects described in our report, MRI quite often reveals tiny anomalies of callosal shape. Corpus callosum defects can not only be congenital, but also caused by acquired disorders (traumatic, vascular, inflammatory and neoplastic)
