Q

PCP pneumonia

A
  • CXR - usually normal; may see subtle groundglass opacities
  • HRCT
    • Diffuse, symmetric ground-glass opacities are the dominant finding. There may be sparing of the subpleural lung in ~40% of the cases.
    • Thin walled cysts in the same distribution as the ground-glass opacities may be seen sometimes. These predispose the patient to pneumothorax.
    • Adenopathy and pleural effusions are rare. Consider other diagnoses in this case.

Q

Uncal shift

vs

A

Q

Medulla foot

  • Medulla region in India
  • also called mycetoma
    • fungal (eumycetoma)
    • bacterial (actinomycetoma)
  • commonly seen in those who walk barefoot, such as agricultural workers
  • patients typically present with painless swelling and a draining sinus tracts. The purulent discharge typically contains colored “grains” representing clumps of the causative organism
    • Stage 0 – Soft-tissue swelling, which can become nodular and expansive.

Stage I – Extrinsic pressure on the bone causing bone displacement or scalloping. No bone involvement.

Stage II – Periosteal reaction or reactive sclerosis as a result of irritation of the bone surface by the causative organism.

Stage III – Bone erosion or cavitation as a result of penetration of the periosteum and cortex.

Stage IV – Joint involvement with longitudinal spread along a ray of metatarsal bone and phalanx.

Stage V – Horizontal spread limited to two rays of bone and confined to the hindfoot, midfoot, or forefoot.

Stage VI – Uncontrolled infection with multidirectional destruction

Q

Dot-in-circle sign

A
  • This sign refers to the characteristic high intensity spherical lesions on both T1- and T2-weighted images with a tiny central focus of hypointensity, resulting in the “dot in circle.”
  • The high intensity spherical lesions are classically surrounded by a network of low intensity material.
  • High intensity spherical lesions represent granulomatous inflammation, and the low intensity tissue surrounding the round lesions relate to a fibrous matrix.
  • The tiny central focus of hypointensity correlates to the fungus ball or grains.

Q

Transverse Ligament

A
  • The transverse ligament of the atlas is a thick, strong band, which arches across the ring of the atlas, and retains the odontoid process in contact with the anterior arch.
  • In Jefferson’s fracture - C1 fracture
    • if transverse ligament is intact - stable - conservative management
    • if transverse ligament is disrupted - unstable fracture - surgical management

Meyer dysplasia

Dysplasia epiphysealis capitis femoris

  • affects the paediatric hip.

  • 2 - 3 years of age
  • male predominance
  • usually asymptomatic
  • Xray
    • the affected epiphysis is smaller in size
    • there are often multiple nuclei of ossification, giving the epiphysis a “morulated” appearance
    • these then tend to fuse at ~ 5 years of age

Q
  • Perforated and extra-uterine IUD needs to be removed to prevent complications such as bowel perforation
  • Ectopic pregnancies are less likely in patients with IUDs compared to patients without IUDs; however, in the setting of pregnancy and a properly positioned IUD, ectopic pregnancies are more likely than intrauterine pregnancies.
A

Perforated and extra-uterine IUD needs to be removed to prevent complications such as bowel perforation

Ectopic pregnancies are less likely in patients with IUDs compared to patients without IUDs (b/c overall pregnancy rate is lower); however, in the setting of pregnancy and a properly positioned IUD, ectopic pregnancies are more likely than intrauterine pregnancies.

Q

Wormian bones

Wormian bones, also known as intra sutural bones,[1] are extra bone pieces that occur within a suture in the cranium. These are irregular isolated bones that appear in addition to the usual centers of ossification of the cranium and, although unusual, are not rare.[2] They occur most frequently in the course of the lambdoid suture, which is more “tortuous” than other sutures. They are also occasionally seen within the sagittal and coronal sutures

    • dislocation
    • traumatic cataract
      • fluid enters the lens
      • decreased density than normal protein

91
Q

Leukocoria

A
  • loss of normal red reflex
  • most common cause - retinoblastoma
  • other causes
    • PHPV
    • Coat’s disease
92
Q

Retinoblastoma

A

Retinoblastoma

  • most common peds intraocular tumor
  • calcification
  • high nuclear/cytoplasm ratio
  • high T1 low T2
  • enhancement
  • look for the contralateral eye
  • look for optic nerve involvement
  • intracranial PNET’s in regions:
    • pineal
    • suprasellar
    • parasellar
93
Q

Persistent Hyperplastic Primary Vitreous

PHPV

A

PHPV

  • 2nd most common cause of leukocoria (behind retinoblastoma)
  • persistence of primary vitreous extending along retina to lens in the Cloquet’s canal
  • microphthalmia
  • hemorrhagic retinal detachment
  • retrolental soft tissue
  • no calcificatios
94
Q

95
Q

A

Choroidal melanoma

96
Q

Dacrocystitis

vs

Dacroadenitis

A
  • Dacrocystitis
    • inflammation of the lacrimal duct
    • pre-septal
  • Dacroadenitis
    • inflammation of lacrimal gland itself
    • post-septal
97
Q

Pre-septal cellulitis

vs

Post-septal cellulitis

A
  • different venous drainage
  • post septal cellulitis drains into the cavernous sinus –> may lead to cavernous sinus thrombosis!
98
