Congenital tuberculosis.

Congenital tuberculosis is a rare disease. The non-specific nature of presenting signs and symptoms (because of the lack of host response) and the fatal outcome in the absence of early therapy all underscore the importance of early diagnosis and treatment in infants. Recognition requires awareness that tuberculosis at this age has manifestations not found in older children. Here a case of congenital tuberculosis is presented, where changes were confined only to the thorax. Tuberculosis in the mother could be diagnosed only retrospectively.

Primary multiple hydatid cysts of the brain.

Primary hydatid cyst of the brain in adults is rare and can pose various diagnostic problems. Multiplicity of these cysts is even rarer. The most important diagnostic tool is computed tomography scanning of the brain. Hydatid cyst should be included in the differential diagnosis when a cystic brain lesion is found in patients from an endemic echinococcosis area.

Bilateral intraabdominal ganglioneuroblastoma in an adult.

Ganglioneuroblastoma is an unusual tumour in an adult. We present a case of bilateral intraabdominal ganglioneuroblastoma in an adult patient. The two tumours had different morphological features and origins. The appearances on ultrasound, CT and MRI are discussed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of bilateral ganglioneuroblastoma reported in an adult patient with ultrasound, CT and MRI findings.

The failed thoracocentesis.

How often do we consider a differential diagnosis of diaphragmatic hernia in cases of failed thoracocentesis? How many of us remember that omental fat in the chest can behave in a fluid manner, layering along the chest wall, resulting in the misinterpretation of a decubitus view. A case is presented of a diaphragmatic hernia that was missed on conventional chest radiographs resulting in CT having to be performed. A high degree of suspicion is mandatory to reach the final diagnosis. Radiographs could be used more effectively and CT avoided.
