Polysplenia syndrome: a case associated with transhepatic portal vein, short pancreas, and left inferior vena cava with hemiazygous continuation.

This paper presents a 57-year-old asymptomatic patient with the polysplenia syndrome with abdominal manifestations. In addition to multiple spleens, the abdominal findings included a left inferior vena cava with hemiazygous continuation, a striking portal anomaly with the portal vein following an "intraperitoneal-left transhepatic" route to reach the porta hepatis, and a congenitally short pancreas.

Hypoplastic lumbar pedicle in association with conjoined nerve root MRI demonstration.

We report a case of aberrant hypoplastic pedicle of the fourth lumbar vertebra and ipsilateral conjoined nerve root. Ipsilateral retroisthmic laminar defect, dysplastic lamina and transverse process, enlargement of neural foramen, hypoplasia of superior and inferior articular facet were present as associated with other neural arch anomalies. The extent of these anomalies was well demonstrated by MR imaging.

Spinal cord compression due to costal Echinococcus multilocularis.

We present computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of a costal hydatid cyst (Echinococcus multilocularis) causing spinal cord compression. The hydatid disease was proved histologically. MRI was not only very useful for determining the spinal extension of the disease by its multiplanar imaging capability, but also gave important information about the texture of the cyst, thus aiding the preoperative diagnosis.

Preoperative diagnosis of bronchial atresia presenting with recurrent respiratory symptoms in an infant.

Bronchial atresia (BA) is a rare respiratory malformation that may be diagnosed from infancy to adulthood. A typical feature of the disease is involvement of the left upper lobe and a mass-like lesion surrounded by a hyperlucent and nondeflating zone. We present a six-month-old male infant who was diagnosed by contrast-enhanced spiral computed tomography (CT) with three-dimensional (3D) technology, and by Tc-99m-macroalbumin aggregate (Tc99m-MAA) radionuclide scintigraphy. We stress that early diagnosis of BA can be made noninvasively using contrast-enhanced spiral CT and radionuclide scintigraphy. 3D computed tomographic reformation allows a more accurate diagnosis as well as a more specific approach to management and follow-up.
