Postpartum magnetic resonance imaging in a case of placenta accreta with intrauterine abscess formation.

The postpartum magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance of a patient with placenta accreta and abscess formation is presented here and compared to the ultrasound and CT findings. The diagnosis was confirmed on histopathologic examination and cultures of the hysterectomy specimen. On MRI, the T1-weighted acquisitions showed an enlarged uterus of mildly heterogeneous but predominantly low signal intensity. The T2-weighted images demonstrated a heterogeneous area of predominantly bright signal within the uterine body and fundus. In this case, MRI was more informative than ultrasound and non-contrast CT scan in the postpartum diagnosis of placenta accreta with abscess formation.

Congenital muscular torticollis: magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound diagnosis.

The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and sonographic appearances of congenital muscular torticollis were studied in a 6-week-old female infant who presented with a firm mass in the right sternocleidomastoid muscle and clinical signs of torticollis. MRI and ultrasound were performed to exclude neoplasm. MRI showed a diffusely enlarged, right sternocleidomastoid muscle that was isointense to normal muscle on T1-weighted conventional spin-echo images. The muscle became progressively brighter and more heterogeneous in signal intensity on proton density- and T2-weighted conventional spin-echo sequences. A thin rim of bright signal intensity on the T2-weighted images surrounded most of the muscle. Ultrasound demonstrated fusi-form enlargement with patchy inhomogeneous areas of increased echogenicity. At 14 weeks there were signs of clinical improvement, with softening of the mass and decreased torticollis.

Migratory surgical clip in the common bile duct: CT diagnosis.

There are only a few case reports in the literature describing the migration of metallic surgical clips into the common bile duct. Diagnosis of this postcholecystectomy complication is usually made during ERCP. We describe the identification on CT scan of a migratory surgical clip in the common bile duct in a patient with biliary colic.
