An atypical case of noninfected iliopsoas bursitis - MRI findings.

ABSTRACT: The authors present an unusual case of atypical iliopsoas bursitis in an 81 years-old female patient. The patient asked for medical advice due to a chronic left hip and lower abdominal pain with no specific characteristics. Physical examination revealed a palpable left-sided pelvic mass. Ultrasound examination demonstrated a purely cystic mass that was presumed to be an ovarian cystic malignancy. The patient was referred for an MRI examination, which showed a cystic lesion extending from the left iliac crest to the anterior aspect of the ipsilateral hip joint (maximum diameter 18 cm), coursing below the iliopsoas tendon indicative of an extremely distended iliopsoas bursa.

Iliopsoas bursitis: The role of diagnostic imaging in detection, differential diagnosis and treatment.

Project description:Iliopsoas bursitis is characterized by distension of the iliopsoas muscle bursa due to synovial fluid and/or hypertrophic synovium. Hip disease is usually associated with it, however, isolated bursitis is also present. Clinically Diagnosing iliopsoas bursitis can be difficult, and imaging is usually required to differentiate iliopsoas bursitis from other inguinal masses such as lymphadenopathy, hernias, and tumors. We present the case of a 45-year-old athletic patient who underwent diagnostic examination for recurrent right hip pain and a recent development (last 3 months) of a bulky right inguinal mass.

Increased frequency of intermetatarsal and submetatarsal bursitis in early rheumatoid arthritis: a large case-controlled MRI study.

Project description:BackgroundThe forefoot is a preferential location for joint and tendon sheath inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It also contains bursae, of which the intermetatarsal bursae have a synovial lining. Some small imaging studies suggested that intermetatarsal bursitis (IMB) and submetatarsal bursitis (SMB) are involved in RA, but their association has not been thoroughly explored. Healthy control studies suggested that lesion size might be relevant. We studied the relation between IMB and SMB in early RA, compared to other arthritides and healthy controls, and the relevance of lesion sizes.MethodsSix hundred and thirty-four participants were studied: 157 consecutive patients presenting with early RA, 284 other arthritides, and 193 healthy controls. All underwent unilateral contrast-enhanced MRI of the forefoot at presentation. Two readers independently scored IMB and SMB and measured transverse and dorsoplantar diameters, blinded to clinical data. Subsequently, consensus was reached. Intra-reader ICC was 0.89. Logistic regression models were used, and test characteristics were calculated.ResultsIMB and SMB associated with RA independent of each other (P < 0.001) and independent of age, gender, BMI, RA-MRI inflammation, and anti-CCP-antibodies (P = 0.041). Sensitivity for RA of IMB was 69%, and for SMB 25%. Specificity for IMB was 70% compared to other arthritides, and 84% compared to healthy controls. For SMB, this was 94% and 97% respectively. Regarding lesion size, the groups had considerable overlap: no cut-off size for RA could be distinguished with high sensitivity and specificity.ConclusionIntermetatarsal and submetatarsal bursitis associated with early rheumatoid arthritis, contributing to the emerging evidence that inflammation of juxta-articular soft tissues is an early feature of RA.

Atypical MRI features in familial adult onset Alexander disease: case report.

Project description:Alexander disease (AxD) is a rare neurological disease, especially in adults. It shows variable clinical and radiological features.We diagnosed a female with AxD presenting with paroxysmal numbness of the limbs at the onset age of 28-year-old, progressing gradually to spastic paraparesis at age 30. One year later, she had ataxia, bulbar paralysis, bowel and bladder urgency. Her mother had a similar neurological symptoms and died within 2 years after onset (at the age of 47), and her maternal aunt also had similar but mild symptoms at the onset age of 54-year-old. Her brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed abnormal signals in periventricular white matter with severe atrophy in the medulla oblongata and thoracic spinal cord, and mild atrophy in cervical spinal cord, which is unusual in the adult form of AxD. She and her daughter's glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) gene analysis revealed the same heterozygous missense mutation, c.1246C?>?T, p.R416W, despite of no neurological symptoms in her daughter.Our case report enriches the understanding of the familial adult AxD. Genetic analysis is necessary when patients have the above mentioned symptoms and signs, MRI findings, especially with family history.

Rheumatoid subacromial-subdeltoid bursitis with rice bodies: A case report.

Project description:Subacromial-subdeltoid bursitis of a shoulder with rice bodies is relatively uncommon. The understanding of the pathogenesis of rice body formation is yet approximate only but some clinical conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculous arthritis, seronegative inflammatory arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are related to it. We describe a case of a 44 years old female with subacromial-subdeltoid bursitis of her right shoulder with numerous rice bodies' formation as a presenting feature of rheumatoid arthritis. She underwent subacromial and subdeltoid bursectomy with the removal of rice bodies and had immediate improvement of symptoms.

A rare case of chest wall tuberculosis: Tuberculous scapulothoracic bursitis.

Project description:Chest wall tuberculosis is a relatively rare extrapulmonary tuberculosis, and is often difficult to diagnose and treat because of the lack of symptoms. The scapulothoracic joint is a special joint that does not have a joint capsule, cartilage, or synovial membrane but consists of muscle and bursa. Tuberculosis infection of the scapulothoracic joint is an extremely rare musculoskeletal tuberculosis of the chest wall. Herein, we present the diagnosis and treatment strategy for tuberculous scapulothoracic bursitis in an 82-year-old man who was successfully treated.

Clinical findings in two cases of atypical scrapie in sheep: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAtypical scrapie is a recently recognised form of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of sheep that differs from classical scrapie in its neuropathological and biochemical features. Most cases are detected in apparently healthy sheep and information on the clinical presentation is limited.Case presentationThis report describes the clinical findings in two sheep notified as scrapie suspects and confirmed as atypical scrapie cases by immunohistochemistry and Western immunoblotting. Although both sheep displayed signs suggestive of a cerebellar dysfunction there was considerable variation in the individual clinical signs, which were similar to classical scrapie.ConclusionAny sheep presenting with neurological gait deficits should be assessed more closely for other behavioural, neurological and physical signs associated with scrapie and their presence should lead to the suspicion of scrapie.

Atypical postoperative radiographical findings in a patient with moyamoya disease: A case report.

Project description:Moyamoya disease is a chronic cerebrovascular disease characterized by spontaneous and progressive stenosis or occlusion of the internal carotid artery and its branches. Revascularization procedures have been shown to improve cerebral hemodynamics and decrease the risk of strokes, but several postoperative complications are known to occur.A 14-year-old girl with moyamoya disease with a history of left-sided revascularization surgery underwent right-sided revascularization. On postoperative day 4, she experienced a transient neurological event (left hemiparesis). Magnetic resonance imaging revealed large cortical and subcortical hyperintense lesions in the middle cerebral artery territory on diffusion-weighted imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient imaging. Subsequently, the radiographic findings improved within several days with resolution of the symptoms. This case is a reminder that hemodynamic complications can develop subacutely in patients who have undergone successful revascularization for moyamoya disease. The radiological features and mechanisms of this rare condition associated with revascularization surgery for moyamoya disease are discussed.

Iliopsoas Disorder in Athletes with Groin Pain: Prevalence in 638 Consecutive Patients Assessed with MRI and Clinical Results in 134 Patients with Signal Intensity Changes in the Iliopsoas.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough iliopsoas disorder is one of the most frequent causes of groin pain in athletes, little is known about its prevalence and clinical impact.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the cases of 638 consecutive athletes who had groin pain. Each athlete was assessed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). First, we identified the prevalence of changes in signal intensity in the iliopsoas. Then we classified the changes in signal intensity in the iliopsoas, as visualized on short tau inversion recovery MRI, into 2 types: the muscle-strain type (characterized by a massive high-signal area in the muscle belly, with a clear border) and the peritendinitis type (characterized by a long and thin high-signal area extending proximally along the iliopsoas tendon from the lesser trochanter, without a clear border). Finally, we compared the time to return to play for the athletes who had these signal intensity changes.ResultsChanges in signal intensity in the iliopsoas were detected in 134 (21.0%) of the 638 athletes. According to our MRI classification, 66 athletes had peritendinitis changes and 68 had muscle-strain changes. The time from the onset of groin pain to return to play was significantly shorter for the patients with muscle-strain changes on MRI than for those with peritendinitis changes (8.6 ± 8.3 versus 20.1 ± 13.9 weeks, respectively; p < 0.0001).ConclusionsChanges in MRI signal intensity in the iliopsoas were observed in 21.0% of 638 athletes who had groin pain. Distinguishing between muscle-strain changes and peritendinitis changes could help to determine the time to return to play.

Pancreatic schwannoma- CT and MRI findings: A rare case report and review of literature.

Project description:IntroductionPancreatic schwannoma (PS) is an extremely rare benign tumor. Here we describe the Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) results of PS in a 59 years old woman, as well as a review of the literature.Case presentationA 59-year-old woman consulted for atypical epigastralgia without fatigue, weight loss or fever. CT scan and MRI showed a 35 mm inhomogeneous lesion with well-defined margins located in the pancreas head. The diagnosis of pancreatic tumor was made. The pathologic examination of the biopsied mass yielded a diagnosis of pancreatic schwannoma.Clinical discussionOn CT scans, almost all benign PS are well-defined cystic or low-density masses. MRI is helpful in characterizing their typical encapsulation.ConclusionThe detection of pancreatic schwannoma is extremely rare. Although multiple imaging modalities are currently available, it is challenging to make an accurate diagnosis before operation.
