Erythromycin hepatotoxicity. A rare cause of a false-positive technetium-99m DISIDA study.
An unusual cause of a cholescintigraphic, false-positive, erythromycin-induced hepatotoxicity is presented. This occurred in the presence of preservation of hepatic uptake and the normal appearance of gut activity. Serial scintigraphy and serum chemistries documented underlying gallbladder normalcy.

Computed tomography of chronic afferent loop obstruction: a case report and review.
The computed tomographic findings in a case of chronic afferent loop obstruction are presented. Multiple cystic abdominal masses which merge caudally are demonstrated. They display uniform diameter, thin rims, and attenuation numbers of water density. We agree with others who have advocated computed tomography as the investigative method of choice for this diagnosis.

Transient bronchoconstriction associated with angiographically proven pulmonary embolus.
It is rare for a pulmonary embolus to cause delayed washout on xenon scans. A case of angiographically proven pulmonary embolus with transient bronchospasm present 48 hours after the onset of symptoms is presented. Possible mechanisms are discussed.
Angiography↗
CT of posterior ocular staphyloma in axial myopia.
We present two cases of posterior ocular staphylomas in axial myopia. CT findings of an enlarged globe with focal posterior bulging and scleral-uveal rim thinning appear to be specific for this diagnosis.

Pelvic inflammatory disease: sonographic-pathologic correlation.
A retrospective analysis of the sonographic findings in 65 women with pelvic inflammatory disease was correlated with pathologic findings at surgery and laparoscopy. Abnormal sonograms could be classified into one of the following three groups: Type I pattern (endometritis); Type II pattern (focal mass); Type III pattern (total pelvic distortion). A simulated uterine appearance, the "pseudouterus sign," was observed in three patients with previous hysterectomy. Various pathologic entities of the pelvic inflammatory disease spectrum could not be reliably distinguished sonographically.

Selective digital venous hypertension: a rare complication of hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula.
We report and document angiographically a case of selective venous hypertension, masquerading as an infection, which involved the three middle digits of the right hand in a patient with an access arteriovenous (AV) fistula. This complication arose following hemodialysis and was resolved after resection of the right radial artery at the site of AV fistula and re-anastomosis.

Bilateral temporal bone involvement with eosinophilic granuloma.
We present an unusual case of bilateral temporal bone destruction due to eosinophilic granuloma in a young child. The patient initially presented with otitis media, with subsequent rapidly developing bilaterally symmetric masses in the mastoid region. Computed tomography demonstrated extensive bony destruction which, after a course of vinblastine chemotherapy, improved dramatically on follow-up scans.
Eosinophilic Granuloma↗
Computed tomographic detection of a swallowed denture.
A 89-year-old, nursing home female presented with a two-week history of drooling and a hard palpable mass in the region of the larynx. Initial fiberoptic laryngoscopy revealed a hard pinkish-white mass which was felt to represent a tumor. Computed tomography demonstrated swallowed, impacted, complete, mandibular denture. Radiologists should be aware of this problem, particularly in the elderly demented patient.

CT demonstration of "ectopic" thymoma.
Computed tomography of a large pedunculated "ectopic" thymoma clearly demonstrated an elongated pedicle, thus establishing the mediastinal origin of the mass.

Absence of fatty replacement in radiation damaged liver: CT demonstration.
Computed tomography from two patients with chronic radiation-induced hepatic damage demonstrates focal sparing within the radiation portal from otherwise diffuse fatty infiltration.

CT and MR imaging in cystic abdominal lymphangiomatosis.
We report the ultrasound, CT, magnetic resonance, and pathologic findings in a patient with cystic lymphangiomatosis of the retroperitoneum, liver, spleen, pancreas, left kidney, somatic soft tissues, and bone. Unusual features of this case include multiple organ involvement and the patient's relatively benign clinical course.

MR findings in congenital glenoid dysplasia.
The MR features of congenital glenoid dysplasia are described. Osseous changes include both dysplasia of the glenoid and hypoplasia of the glenoid process. In addition, there are cartilaginous changes with hypertrophy of both the articular cartilage and the glenoid labra.
