Clinics in diagnostic imaging (178). Wunderlich syndrome and pseudoaneurysm.

ABSTRACT: Wünderlich syndrome is a rare entity characterised by spontaneous retroperitoneal haemorrhage with renal origin. We present a case of Wünderlich syndrome secondary to clotting dyscrasia in a 64-year-old woman. The patient experienced a second Wünderlich haemorrhagic event with metachronous pseudoaneurysm formation, which was likely secondary to the large subcapsular haematoma stripping the renal capsule and tearing the cortical arteries. Selective pseudoaneurysm embolisations were successfully performed on both occasions. This clinical entity, its imaging differential diagnoses and management are discussed.

Clinics in diagnostic imaging (197). Left ischiofemoral impingement syndrome.

Project description:A 48-year-old woman presented with progressive left hip pain over six months, along with left lower limb weakness for two weeks. Magnetic resonance imaging of the left hip showed narrowing of the left ischiofemoral space, oedema of the left quadratus femoris muscle and left sciatic nerve, and mild bone marrow oedema of the left ischial tuberosity. The diagnosis of left ischiofemoral impingement syndrome was made. The imaging features of ischiofemoral impingement syndrome and the associated aetiologies and complications are discussed.

Clinics in diagnostic imaging (184). Fat embolism syndrome (FES).

Project description:A 23-year-old Indian man presented with shortness of breath and new-onset confusion along with a rash on his chest on Postoperative Day 2, following internal fixation of his femur fracture. Although computed tomography pulmonary angiography was negative for filling defects in the pulmonary vasculature, it showed mosaic attenuation changes with some interlobular septal thickening. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed patchy signal abnormalities, predominantly in the grey-white matter junction region with extensive susceptibility artefacts, consistent with petechial haemorrhages. The laboratory work-up showed thrombocytopenia and anaemia. A diagnosis of fat embolism syndrome was established, based on the clinical presentation combined with laboratory and imaging findings. The clinical and imaging features of fat embolism syndrome are discussed.

Clinics in diagnostic imaging (173). Scimitar syndrome with horseshoe lung.

Project description:A 56-year-old Chinese man presented with giddiness and vertigo. Subsequent chest radiography showed the classic scimitar sign of an abnormal pulmonary venous return. Further evaluation with non-contrast computed tomography substantiated the finding of a partial anomalous venous drainage pattern and identified an associated rare lung anomaly, horseshoe lung. The imaging findings of scimitar syndrome and its association with horseshoe lung are reviewed.

Clinics in diagnostic imaging (168).

Project description:A 16-year-old Chinese male patient presented with constipation lasting five days, colicky abdominal pain, lethargy, weakness and body aches. He was able to pass flatus. Abdominal radiography showed a distended stomach causing inferior displacement of the transverse colon. Computed tomography revealed a dilated oesophagus, stomach and duodenum up to its third portion, with a short aortomesenteric distance and narrow angle. There was also consolidation in the lungs bilaterally. Based on the constellation of clinical and imaging findings, a diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery syndrome complicated by aspiration pneumonia was made. The patient was subsequently started on intravenous hydration, nasogastric tube aspiration and antibiotics. Following stabilisation of his acute condition, a nasojejunal feeding tube was inserted and a feeding plan was implemented to promote weight gain. The clinical presentation, differentials, diagnosis and treatment of superior mesenteric artery syndrome are discussed.

Project description:Hydrocoele of the canal of Nuck is a rare condition in adult women caused by a failure of complete obliteration of the canal of Nuck. It may be likened to a patent processus vaginalis in men. In most cases, the diagnosis is made during surgery as it is often mistaken for an inguinal hernia. We report a case where the diagnosis of this condition was made preoperatively on imaging. The salient anatomy, clinical features, radiological images and surgical management are discussed and the medical literature reviewed.

Clinics in diagnostic imaging (185).

Project description:A 20-year-old National Serviceman presented with left knee pain and swelling after training for his physical fitness test. Lateral knee radiography and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed patellar tendon-lateral femoral condyle friction syndrome (PT-LFCFS), on a background of patella alta and patellar malalignment. The patient was treated non-operatively with a course of physiotherapy and given advice on rest and activity modification. PT-LFCFS is a less well-recognised but important cause of anterior knee pain and represents an entity in a spectrum of disorders related to patellofemoral instability. We herein discuss the MR imaging findings specific to and associated with this condition, as well as briefly describing treatment options. In addition, we showcase a range of commonly encountered abnormalities that affect the infrapatellar fat pad and briefly discuss their specific MR imaging findings.

Clinics in diagnostic imaging (170).

Project description:A 30-year-old woman presented with a six-month history of left posterior heel pain. Physical examination revealed a tender, inflamed and indurated posterior heel with a visible bony prominence of the posterosuperior aspect of the calcaneus. Lateral ankle radiography showed a prominent left posterosuperior calcaneal tuberosity and thickening of the distal Achilles tendon outline. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated high-signal inflammatory fluid in the retrocalcaneal bursa, increased signal intensity and thickening of the Achilles tendon, and prominence of the posterior calcaneus tuberosity with reactive marrow oedema. The findings are consistent with Haglund's deformity. The patient underwent hind foot surgery after failing a six-month course of conservative therapy. There was no further recurrence of symptoms after surgery. The clinical and radiological features of Haglund's deformity are described, including a short discussion of other causes of hind foot pain.

Clinics in diagnostic imaging (187). Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) Type II.

Project description:A 26-year-old male patient was referred for exercise-induced claudication that had interfered with his military duties for the past two years. He was an occasional smoker with no other significant cardiovascular risk factors. Initial Doppler ultrasonography showed narrowing of the popliteal artery. Further evaluation with magnetic resonance angiography demonstrated a short segment occlusion of the popliteal artery secondary to an anomalous origin of the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle from the lateral femoral condyle. Based on the clinical presentation and imaging findings, he was diagnosed with popliteal artery entrapment syndrome. In this article, we discussed the typical presenting signs and symptoms of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome, the different imaging modalities available to aid diagnosis, classification of the condition and the available treatment options.
