Scintigraphic manifestation of iliotibial band injury in an endurance athlete.

The scintigraphic appearance of an overuse injury at the insertion of the iliotibial band is described. This injury was depicted on three-phase bone scintigraphy as focally increased radionuclide concentration in the anterolateral tibial condyle (lateral tibial tubercle) where the iliotibial band inserts. Overuse injuries involving the insertion of the iliotibial band are uncommon and are not to be confused with a stress fracture or other bony lesion involving the lateral tibial condyle.

Renal infarction after aerobics.

Renal infarction is most frequently due to emboli from the heart or aorta. Other causes include atheromatous disease, renal artery aneurysm, vasculitis, hypotension, hypercoagulable states, aortic dissection, and major trauma. Most renal infarctions are segmental. The extent of disease is dependent upon the size and number of renal vessels involved, coexistent renal disease, and collateral circulation. Flank pain, fever, leukocytosis, hematuria, renal failure, or hypertension may suggest the diagnosis, but these findings are nonspecific and diagnosis will depend not only on history and physical examination, but also on the appropriate imaging tests. The type of treatment is dictated by the etiology of the infarction.
