abstract = {Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant disorder with defect in the ossification of the cartilage of long bones. Many bony abnormalities constitute its clinical features, with craniovertebral junction (CVJ) anomalies being one of most common issues which need to be addressed at the earliest. CVJ anomalies in individuals may cause neurovascular compression, which may warrant an early surgery to prevent catastrophic complications. Posterior circulation strokes secondary to CVJ anomalies are well known. We hereby present an unusual case of posterior circulation stroke in an achondroplastic dwarf who presented to our tertiary care centre. Prospective case study. The present case adds to the existing literature about one of the preventable causes of fatal posterior circulation strokes in the young. A high index of suspicion for neurovascular compression at the foramen magnum and early initiation of treatment in achondroplastic young individuals may have gratifying results.},

Normal reference values of brain ventricles obtained by MRI are necessary to create baseline data for interpreting pathological changes, planning surgery and determining presence and progress of some neurological disorders. Materials and Method: This is a retrospective, cross sectional and non-interventional study. we have studied 100 brain MRI digital images. Following parameters have been studied frontal horn width [FHW], transverse internal diameter of skull[TIDS-F] at same level, frontal horn ratio[FHR], frontal horn length on both sides [FHLR & FHLL], total length of lateral ventricle on both sides [LVLR & LVLL], posterior horn width [PHW], transverse internal diameter of skull at same level [TIDS-P], fourth ventricle width [FVW] and fourth ventricle anteroposterior distance [FVAP]. SPSS. version. 21 was used for statistical analysis. Results: There were 54 females and 46 males between age 20 years to above 60 years. Frontal horn width, posterior horn width and total inner diameter of skull at frontal and posterior level has shown significant gender differences with P value as 0.0034,0.0004,0.00013 and 0.0004 respectively. Frontal horn ratio, total length of right and left lateral ventricles and total inner diameter of skull has shown significant increase with age. Conclusion: The normal reference values of ventricles obtained from MRI are necessary to form baseline data, for interpreting pathological changes and planning surgeries.volumetric measurements will provide more information than linear measurements.},

abstract = {Background: Bilateral thalamic infarction, especially the medial thalamus, has been characteristically described in the artery of Percheron (AOP) affection. However, bilateral thalamic restriction has been described in many entities beyond the AOP infarction. Objective: Here we describe a case series (three cases) with infection as an etiology for bilateral thalamic lesions in the topographic distribution of the AOP from a tertiary care center in tropical India. Materials and Methods: Case series during a 1-year period collecting cases with bilateral thalamic diffusion restriction on MRI who did not have thalamic infarcts and their outcomes. Results: Bilateral thalamic lesion can occur in both bacterial and viral infections such as tuberculosis, dengue, and SARS-COV-2. Thus, we intend to add infections as one of the etiologies in the ever-expanding list of conditions that produce bilateral thalamic restriction. Conclusions: All the acute symmetric thalamic lesions are not always secondary to vascular insult. Accurate assessment and prompt diagnosis can prevent unnecessary delays in treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first case series in the literature that throws light on the bilateral thalamic lesions in the topographic distribution of the AOP secondary to infections in a tropical country like India.},

abstract = {Background: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is one of the most common pregnancy complications and it substantially increases the risk of adverse neonatal outcome. Foetal biophysical profile is a well-established method of antepartum surveillance in IUGR patients. The present study was conducted to evaluate the role of modified foetal biophysical profile in IUGR pregnancies for predicting the perinatal outcome. Methods: This was a prospective observational study including 100 pregnancies affected by IUGR. Pregnant women with high risk factors leading to IUGR in ANC OPD admitted in ward or in emergency in Dept. Obstetrics and Gynecology in tertiary care hospital, Hyderabad, who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled for the study. Written, informed, valid consent was taken in the language they best understood. Patients were divided into 4 groups NST and AFI both were normal in 67 cases (Group A). NST was normal and AFI was abnormal in 22 patients (Group B). AFI was normal and NST was abnormal in 5 patients (Group C). Both parameters were abnormal in 6 patients (Group D). Results: out of the 67 patients with adequate AFI and reactive NST, 19 (29%) babies had perinatal morbidity.14 (63.6%) out of 22 patients with inadequate AFI and non-reactive NST had perinatal morbidity. 4 (80%) out of 5 patients with non-reactive NST but normal AFI had some type of perinatal morbidity. While 3(50%) out of 6 patients with non-reactive NST with abnormal AFI had perinatal morbidity (P =0.014). Out of 100 babies, 17 (61%) of those with inadequate AFI has perinatal morbidity, while 23 (32%) with adequate AFI had the same (P<0.01). Conclusion: Modified biophysical profile (MBPP) is easier, less time consuming, cost effective and patient compliant test and hence, can be used as a primary antepartum fetal surveillance test to predict perinatal outcome and provide timely intervention in IUGR pregnancies.},

Published meta-analyses showed significant higher risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared to the general population. Major etiopathogenesis of ischemic stroke in RA is non-atherosclerotic vasculopathy. Here the authors described varied aetiopathogensis of ischemic stroke in patients with RA which had been seldom reported in the literature. It was one of the first case series which threw light in this genre. Observational, prospective case series study was conducted over a period of one year. Amongst four cases presenting as an ischemic stroke with co-existing RA; each patient had a medium or small vessel vasculopathy, which had never been described earlier. Case 1 had cardio embolic source plus large vessel vasculopathy, case 2 had intracranial non-atherosclerosis vasculopathy; case 3 had secondary Moya-Moya disease; case 4 had both intracranial and extra cranial vasculopathy. Underlying aetiopathogensis of stroke in patients with RA can be attributed to insufficient cardiovascular treatment (well described in the literature) and vasculopathy of extracranial and intracranial vessels and secondary Moyamoya disease due to RA. Thorough evaluation is needed to prevent recurrence of stroke. The treatment strategy in these patients are immunotherapy apart from the conventional therapy with antiplatelet and statins.},

abstract = {Introduction: Magnetic resonance venography (MRV) brain is the gold standard for diagnosing cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) is a high-spatial resolution, (MR) technique that is exquisitely sensitive to venous blood, hemorrhage and iron storage. Study aimed to know the diagnostic performance of SWI in detecting CVT compared to MRV and to facilitate early diagnosis of CVT where MRV not feasible.

Material and Methods: A prospectively study, included patients presenting with clinical symptoms of CVT who underwent MRI (1.5T) brain with MRV. We determined the sensitivity, specificity, predictive value, accuracy, degree of agreement between SWI and MRV in detecting CVT.

Results: Out of 100 cases, 64 were females. Majority of patients presented with headache (100%) and CVT was diagnosed in 55 cases. Majority of patient had transverse sinus (TS) thrombosis (54%). The overall diagnostic accuracy of SWI sequence was 76.31% and that of MRV was 95.18%. Sensitivity of SWI versus MRV was 63.22% Vs 91.23%; Specificity 92.31% Vs 100%; Positive predictive value 90.95% vs 100%; Negative predictive value 67.25% vs 90.32% respectively. 95% confidence interval was observed for the specificity and positive predictive value of the SWI test. There exists good degree of agreement between both imaging modalities with 98% accuracy to detect cortical vein thrombosis by SWI.

Conclusion: SWI sequence added on the conventional MRI can be used as the first line imaging modality for evaluation of patient with CVT where MRV brain is not feasible. SWI has higher diagnostic performance in detecting isolated cortical vein thrombosis.},

abstract = {Introduction: The arches of the foot help in transmission of the body weight and permit adjustments on uneven surfaces. Prolonged use of high heels causes elevation or collapse of these arches by stress and strain over the weight-bearing bones, and also causes damage to the underlying soft tissues and ligaments. The aim of this study was to document the presence of any changes in medial longitudinal arches in young women using high heels through radiographic method taking into account body mass index, height of heels, and the type of shoes worn and to document lower back pain and foot pain. 

Material and Methods: An observational study between 40 high-heel wearers and 40 flat wearers was done. Lateral radiographs of both feet were taken in weight-bearing position with medial border of the foot touching the cassette. Lateral talocalcaneal angle, lateral talar-first metatarsal angle, angle of longitudinal arch, and calcaneal pitch were measured by a protractor and goniometer. A questionnaire documented complaints of back pain and foot pain. 

Results: Independent sample t-test showed a statistically significant difference in left lateral talar-first metatarsal angle between two groups. Pearson's correlation showed a negative correlation between left lateral talocalcaneal angle and low back pain, and a positive correlation between right lateral talar-first metatarsal angle and low back pain. 

Discussion and Conclusion: Frequent and prolonged use of high-heeled footwear can result in damage to the foot architecture leading to foot and back pain. Thus, keeping the high heels reserved for occasional use is the best choice.},

Giant cysts require resection because of compressive symptoms and/or risk of malignancy and their management invariably requires laparotomy to prevent perforation and spillage of the cyst uid into peritoneal cavity. Here, we present a case of an 18 year old female with rapidly progressing abdominal distension and vague abdominal pain. Along with clinical evaluation and lab investigations she was subjected to imaging which included Ultrasonography and MR Imaging. She underwent exploratory laparotomy for excision of the cystic mass. On histopathological examination, mass was found to be mucinous cystadenocarcinoma with low malignant potential. The main aim of this report is to draw attention to huge ovarian epithelial cysts with unsuspected presentation contributing to any underdiagnosis, misdiagnosis, and mismanagement that might occur.},

abstract = {Background: Hip joint pain is a frequent problem in current practice and can be due to different causes since the investigations are invariably used to diagnose the source of the injury. The primary examination is accompanied by MRI, which is a valuable instrument in hip disease evaluation since it requires a detailed study of articular cartilage, epiphysis, joint fluids, bone marrow and extra-articular soft tissue which may be impaired by hip disease. Subjects and Methods: In a total of 60 individuals who had hip joint pain and subsequently had plain radiographs accompanied by the hip joint MRI was studied in a prospective cross-sectional analysis. The data is interpreted and the results of basic X-rays are compared to the MRI. Results: Of the 70 cases the males (67%) are commonly affected than females (33%). The majority of the patients fall under the age group of 31-40 years (28.33%). In our study, we find the commonest pathology for the hip joint pain is AVN of femoral

head 20 cases (28.57%), followed by joint effusion 15 cases (21.42%), Osteoarthritis 13 cases (18.57%), TB hip 10 cases (14.28%), Perthes 4 cases (5.71%), DDH 4 cases (5.71%) and metastatic disease 4 cases (5.71%). Of the twenty AVN cases, only 6 (30%) are found on a plain x-ray whereas all 20 (100%) are detected on MRI. Similarly, out of 15 cases diagnosed as joint effusion, only 5cases (33.33%) are detected on plain radiograph, but all the 12 cases (100%) are detected on MRI. The remaining 100% pathologies are observed on X-ray and MRI; moreover, MRI helps to improve the identification of articular cartilage, epiphysis, and additional soft tissue articular anomalies. Conclusion: MRI is a better way to identify joint effusion and synovial proliferation. Unlike standard x-rays. In proven cases with clear radiography such as Perthe’s and metastatic disease, Hip MRI helps to enhance disease staging, clinical implication, and soft tissue expansion. },

In order to prevent invalidation, before laryngeal biopsy, MRI and CT scanning have been done such that the images are not altered by peri tumorous inflammation. Results: The MRI classification was right  for 20 out of 25 patients (80 percent) and 5 outsized cases: three cT1b lesions were pT1a and two cT1a lesions were squamous cell papillomas during pathological examination. CT was accurately identified in 17 out of 25 patients (68%), with 8 understated cases: 3 cT1a lesions by     CT were pT1b, 3 cT1a lesions were pT3, and 2 tumours had not been found in the CT scan. Conclusion: Our research showed that MRI in preoperative stage early glottic cancer is more sensitive than CT to accurately select eligible patients for conservatory larynx surgery like super cricoid laryngectomy and cordectomy.},

Results: PCL avulsions with 30 cases was the commonest avulsion around the knee in our study. ACL avulsion noted in 18 cases. Two patients had both cruciates avulsed. There was no statistically significant difference in the medial meniscal injuries between ACL and PCL avulsions with a P value of 0.49 (P < 0.05 is significant). Lateral meniscal injuries

occurred in significantly larger proportion of ACL avulsions compared to PCL avulsions with a P value of 0.007 (P < 0.05 is significant). Conclusion: Significantly larger number of cases of lateral meniscal injuries was seen in ACL avulsions compared to that of PCL. Avulsion fractures are radiographically subtle but are associated with significant soft tissue and bone abnormalities.},

Methods: Hospitalized children aged ≤ 2 years with the first febrile UTI were prospectively evaluated using imaging studies, including 99mTc dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan, US, and voiding cystourethrography. Results: Of the 310 children analyzed (195 boys and 115 girls), 105 (33.9%) had abnormal US. Acute DMSA scans were abnormal in 194 children (62.6%), including 89 (45.9%) with concomitant abnormal US. There was VUR in 107 children (34.5%), including 79 (25.5%) with grades III-V VUR. The sensitivity and negative predictive values of US were 52.3% and 75.1%, respectively, for grades I-V VUR; and 68.4% and 87.8%, respectively, for grades III-V VUR. Eighty-five children (27.4%) had RS, including 55 (64.7%) with abnormal US. Of the 105 children with abnormal US, 33 (31.4%) needed subsequent management (surgical intervention, parental counseling, or follow-up of renal function). Nephromegaly on initial US and grades III-V VUR were risk factors of RS. Conclusions: Abnormal US may carry a higher probability of grades III-V VUR and RS, and can affect subsequent management in a significant number of children. Nephromegaly on initial US and grades III-V VUR are strongly associated with an increased risk for RS. Thus, US should be performed on children after the first febrile UTI and children with normal US may not require voiding cystourethrography.},

The results of core decompression vary considerably despite early diagnosis. The role of MRI in monitoring patients post surgically has not been clearly defined. Aim: To study pre and post core decompression MRI changes in avascular necrosis of hip. Materials and Methods: This is a contiguous observational cohort of 40 hips treated by core decompression for precollapse avascular necrosis of femoral head, who had a baseline MRI performed before surgery. Core decompression of the femoral head was performed within 4 weeks. Follow up radiograph and MRI scans were done at six months. Harris hip score preoperatively, 1 month and 6 months after the surgery was noted. Success in this study was defined as postoperative increase in Harris hip score (HHS) by 20 points and no additional femoral collapse. End point of clinical adverse outcome as defined by fall in Harris hip score was conversion or intention to convert to total hip replacement (THR). MRI parameters in the follow up scan were compared to the preoperative MRI. Effect of core decompression on bone marrow oedema and femoral head collapse was noted. Results were analysed using SPSS software version. Results: Harris hip score improved from 57 to 80 in all patients initially. Six hips had a fall in Harris hip score to mean value of 34.1 during follow up (9 to 12 months) and underwent total hip replacement. MRI predictors of positive outcome are lesions with grade A extent, Grade A & B location. Bone marrow oedema with lesions less than 50% involvement, medial and central location. Conclusion: Careful selection of patients by MR criteria for core decompression provides satisfactory outcome in precollapse stage of avascular necrosis of hip.},

abstract = {Introduction: Acute osteomyelitis in neonates is a rare infectious disorder of bone leading to diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, more so in neonates. While the long bones are frequently affected sites, maxilla is rarely involved. Physiological immaturity of the immune system coupled with invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures render them susceptible for this condition, more so in premature, low birth weight infants. The most common organism causing osteomyelitis in neonates is Staphylococcus aureus. Lesion of the orbit as well as contiguous faciomaxillary and sinonasal inflammatory pathology often lead to proptosis in neonates. Case Report: We report a 15-day-old term female neonate (twin 1) presenting with non-traumatic periorbital swelling and purulent nasal discharge. The neonate also had failure to thrive. On clinical examination, the neonate was sick with sclerema and shock. There was right eye proptosis with edema and erythema. Initial diagnosis of periorbital abscess or orbital tumor was considered and the infant was investigated. Sepsis screen was positive with marked polymorphic leukocytosis. Also, the blood culture and culture from sinus scraping grew Staphylococcus aureus. Magnetic resonance imaging scan of the brain including orbit revealed osteomyelitis of maxilla and intraorbital extraconal mass with restricted diffusion, suggesting intraorbital abscess. The neonate responded to intravenous antimicrobials and decompression of the abscess. Although, the source of this major infection is unidentified, low birth weight, failure to thrive and poor socioeconomic status might have contributed. Conclusion: We report a term, low birth weight, female neonate with culture positive sepsis, maxillary sinus osteomyelitis and orbital abscess. Osteomyelitis of the maxilla is a rare entity and an important etiological factor for orbital abscess.},

abstract = {Introduction: Developmental delay is defined as significant delay in one or more developmental domains. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the best modality to investigate such patients. Evaluation of a child with developmental delay is important not only because it allows early diagnosis and treatment but also helpful for parental counseling regarding the outcome of their child and to identify any possible risk of recurrence in the siblings. Thus this study was undertaken to evaluate the developmental delay in Indian children which will help the clinicians in providing an estimation of the child’s ultimate developmental potential and organize specific treatment requirement and also relieve parental apprehension. Aims and Objectives: To study the prevalence of normal and abnormal MRI in pediatric patients presenting with developmental delay and further categorize the abnormal MRI based on its morphological features. Materials and Methods: It is a prospective, observational & descriptive study of MRI Brain in 81 paediatric patients (46 Males and 35 Females), aged between three months to 12 years; presenting with developmental delay in Deccan College of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad; over a period of three years (Sept 2011 to Sept 2014). MRI brain was done on 1.5T Siemens Magnetom Essenza & 0.35T Magnetom C with appropriate sequences and planes after making the child sleep/sedated/ anesthetized. Various anatomical structures like Ventricles, Corpus callosum, etc were systematically assessed. The MRI findings were divided into various aetiological subgroups. Results: Normal MRI findings were seen in 32% cases and 68% had abnormal findings of which the proportion of Traumatic/ Neurovascular Diseases, Congenital & Developmental, Metabolic and Degenerative, neoplastic and non specific were 31%, 17%, 10%, 2.5% and 7.5% respectively. The ventricles and white matter mainly the corpus callosum were the most commonly affected anatomical structures. The diagnostic yield was found to be 68% and higher yield was seen in patients presenting with developmental delay plus. Conclusion: The clinical diagnosis of developmental delay should not be the end point, but rather a springboard for an effective search for causal factors. MRI is the best investigation with a high yield in such patients.},

abstract = {Background: An enlargement of the aortic diameter exceeding at least 50% of the normal range results in aneurysm formation. Endovascular stent grafting is a newer form of treatment for thoracic aortic aneurysms that is less invasive than open surgery and has the success rate around 95%. The ratio of stent graft size to aortic diameter should be of the order of 1.1–1.15; higher diameters have to be avoided in order to limit the vessel wall stretch which may result in antegrade or retrograde dissection or perforation. After reviewing the literature thoroughly, it was found that even though the diameter of ascending and descending aorta has a wide range of clinical implications and applications, there is dearth of literature pertaining to the quantitative measurements of the diameters of ascending and descending aorta in Indian subjects.

Aim:

• To measure the diameter of ascending aorta (DOAA) and diameter of descending aorta (DODA) at the level of pulmonary artery bifurcation in Indian subjects using computed tomography.

• To establish the upper normal limits of DOAA and DODA; to rule out aneurysm of thoracic aorta.

Materials and Method: The CT chest images of 76 patients (44 males and 32 females) were studied. The DOAA and DODA were measured at the level of pulmonary artery bifurcation; across a line joining the ascending and the descending aorta.

Results:

1. The average DOAA was 33.44 mm ± 1.12 mm in males and 31.43 mm ± 1.52 mm in females; the upper normal limits of DOAA were 35.68 mm for males and 34.47 mm for females.

2. The average DODA was 25.11 mm ± 1.34 mm in males and 23.04 mm ± 1.58 mm in females; the upper normal limits of DODA were 27.79 for males and 26.20 for females.

Conclusion: A quantitative assessment of the diameters of ascending and descending aorta has been presented which will help the clinicians for diagnostic and therapeutic purpose especially in Indian subjects.},

abstract = {Background: The mediastinum is a complex region, containing vital structures. The details of the spatial

relations of these structures can be studied with the help of cross sections at various vertebral levels.

Computerised Tomography (CT) is the best way to explore this region in living subjects. The advent of

minimal access surgeries like mediastinoscopy demand better knowledge of anatomy. This pioneering

study will be of immense help in understanding the living anatomy of mediastinal structures especially in

Indian subjects. Aim: To study the vertebral levels of sternal angle and tracheal bifurcation and to measure the dimensions of mediastinum in Indian subjects. Materials and Method: CT chest of 48 patients were studied and dimensions of mediastinum and vertebral levels of sternal angle and tracheal bifurcation of mediastinum were measured.

Results:

1. The vertebral level of sternal angle passed through T5 in 68.75% cases.

2. The vertebral level of tracheal bifurcation was seen at T5 in 52.08% cases and at and below T6 in

31.25% cases.

3. The average anteroposterior diameter of mediastinum was 59.69 ± 3.99 mm in males and 49.74 ±

3.2 mm in females.

4. The average transverse diameter of mediastinum was 55.62 ± 2.18 mm in males and 49.83 ± 2.94

mm in females.

Conclusion: The above comprehensive data of mediastinal dimensions will help clinicians in

understanding the mediastinal anatomy for diagnostic and therapeutic purpose especially in Indian

subjects.},

abstract = {Extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA) is an uncommon cause of neonatal jaundice. Antenatal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) diagnosis of EHBA has not been published to the best of our knowledge till date. EHBA with cystic component is likely to be mistaken for choledochal cyst. A case that was antenatally predicted and postnatally confirmed by surgery and histopathology is being reported. All imaging signs are analyzed herewith. Imaging helps in the prediction of EHBA and also helps in early postnatal surgical referral which in turn improves the results of Kasai’s portoenterostomy.},
