Rhombencephalosynapsis is an unfrequent malformation of the posterior fossa essentially characterized by vermian agenesis or hypogenesis, fusion of the cerebellar hemispheres and fusion of the dentate nuclei. Supratentorial abnormalities are usually associated. No specific clinical syndrome can be described in relation with this disorder. We report a case diagnosed by MRI in a living patient.

Pancreatic pseudocyst in the liver is a rare complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis. However, its frequency seems to be increasing with modem imaging procedures. The authors report a case of pancreatic pseudocyst involving the left lobe of the liver that occurred in a patient who never showed clinical evidence of pancreatitis or pancreatic injury. Complete screening led to the discovery of alcoholic chronic pancreatitis. The pseudocyst was treated successfully by radiologic drainage. The pancreatic pseudocyst location and therapeutic approaches are discussed. A literature review uncovered 26 cases of hepatic pancreatic pseudocysts. Clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, and treatment of these cases are analyzed.

We present a case of a papillary solid neoplasm of the head of the pancreas incidentally diagnosed after an abdominal trauma in a thirteen year old boy. Imaging features (US, CT) of the lesion were not specific enough to permit a precise diagnosis with certainty. Preoperative percutaneous needle biopsy can give presumptive evidence which may guide the treatment. Prognosis is fairly better than other pancreatic neoplasms in children (particularly pancreatoblastoma). Treatment relies only on surgery.

Hepatosplenic involvement in cat-scratch disease, probably underdiagnosed, is characterized by multinodular lesions throughout the liver and spleen. Radiologic features of ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are not specific. The key of the diagnosis relies on a history of cat or kitten contact. A specific serological test can confirm the diagnosis without invasive procedures such as biopsy.
