Radiologic manifestations of delayed radiation necrosis of the brain.

One of the most effective treatment modalities for tumors of the head and neck has been radiation therapy. In a small number of cases, delayed radiation necrosis of the brain is a dreaded and devastating complication of radiation therapy. The imaging studies (radionuclide brain scan, cerebral angiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging) in 12 cases of histologically proven, delayed radiation necrosis of the brain are analysed. While both computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging can depict radiation necrosis with great sensitivity, however, the ability of these imaging techniques to differentiate between radiation necrosis and recurrent or residual brain tumor is low.

The postoperative myelogram.

Myelographic changes after spinal operation are often difficult to interpret especially with regard to the differentiation between arachnoiditis and recurrent disc prolapse. The radiological appearances using iophendylate (Myodil) and the distinguishing features are discussed and illustrated.

Choledochocele. A case report.

A case of a young man with a choledochocele is presented. The entity is rare and symptoms are usually nonspecific. Pre-operative diagnosis is often not made but is usually possible provided both barium study and cholangiography are performed. The clinical presentation and diagnosis are discussed.

Protean appearance of craniopharyngioma on computed tomography.

Craniopharyngiomas present a diverse appearance on computed tomography. Histological diagnosis is not always possible, but computed tomography is of great assistance in the delineation of the tumour as well as of the degree of associated hydrocephalus. Computed tomography also enables rapid non-invasive follow-up after surgery or radiotherapy, or both.

The computerised tomographic findings in paediatric orbital tumours.

Forty-two patients with histologically proven orbital tumours are presented. CT is of value in the pretreatment assessment and in delineating the extent of the orbital tumour. The surrounding bony destruction and intracranial extension are easily assessed. Post-treatment follow-up can be closely monitored using CT.

CT findings in retinoblastoma.

Computed tomographic (CT) findings in 38 patients with surgically proven retinoblastomas are described. CT is of value in accurately and rapidly assessing the extraocular and intracranial spread of clinically diagnosed retinoblastomas. This information is of prognostic value as patients with tumors that have spread beyond the confines of the globe have a life expectancy of only a few months. Calcification was present in 11 of 23 tumors confined to the globe, but was seen in only two of 15 tumors that had extended beyond the globe. Therefore, the presence of calcification may be a favorable prognostic sign.

Pneumatosis coli secondary to colonic obstruction. A case report.

A case of pneumatosis coli of the caecum and ascending colon with a closed loop obstruction secondary to carcinoma of the descending colon is presented. The caecum was grossly distended and impending rupture was diagnosed. It is postulated that complete transmural rupture of the caecum was prevented by partial decompression of caecal air into the bowel wall.

Value of the mandibular radiograph in familial polyposis coli.

Familial polyposis coli and Gardner's syndrome have identical colonic manifestations. Recent evidence has shown that both conditions are associated with occult osteomatous lesions in the mandible. We present 3 patients from 2 families with familial polyposis coli who, in addition to the colonic lesions, also had occult osteomatous mandibular lesions. The value and practical application of radiography of the mandible as an additional diagnostic aid in familial polyposis coli are emphasized.

Computed tomography in cranial tuberculosis.

Twelve patients with proven tuberculosis were studied by computed tomography. Three had tuberculomas and nine had tuberculous meningitis. Although a definite diagnosis is often not possible on CT, the method is of value in determining number, location and extent of lesions. In patients with tuberculous meningitis, CT is helpful in assessing the degree of hydrocephalus and in evaluating the effectiveness of antituberculous therapy.
