Sinochoanal polyp and its variant, the angiomatous polyp: MRI findings.

The angiomatous polyp corresponds to the vascular compromised nasochoanal part of a sinochoanal polyp. We describe the MRI characteristics of such lesions in four patients. All patients had an angiomatous polyp, in three cases as part of an antrochoanal polyp, and in one case as part of a sphenochoanal polyp. The unenhanced MR images depicted the typical appearance of a sinochoanal polyp, hypointense on T1-weighted and hyperintense on T2-weighted images. On gadolinium-enhanced MR images, the sinusal part showed little or no peripheral enhancement; however, the nasochoanal part, corresponding to the angiomatous polyp, showed strong enhancement. An angiomatous polyp mimics a hypervascular mass lesion on enhanced MR studies. The anatomic location and association with a sinusal polyp allows the correct diagnosis.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the sinonasal cavities.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the sinonasal cavity is an uncommon neoplasm. The symptoms of this tumor are aspecific, and the diagnosis is often made in an advanced stage of disease. Imaging is necessary for evaluating paranasal extension and possible intracranial spread, orbital involvement, infratemporal extension, spread to the nasopharynx, oropharynx, or oral cavity, and spread along neurovascular bundles or perineural spread. Sinonasal cancers are studied with CT or MRI, and in many cases both modalities are used, as they often offer complementary information. The CT and MRI appearance of this kind of tumor is reviewed in this article.

CT findings in laryngeal chondroradionecrosis.

The progressive CT features of the laryngeal framework and soft tissues in a case of laryngeal chondroradionecrosis are described. The differential diagnosis with tumor recurrence was at first uneasy, but the protracted history evolution of the tissue changes on CT eventually allowed correct diagnosis.

Computed tomography of laryngeal carcinoma: technique, imaging findings and implications for radiation therapy.

Optimal radiological visualisation of laryngeal carcinoma demands for a tailored imaging technique. The technique for computed tomography of the larynx is reviewed, and imaging findings in laryngeal carcinoma are described. The application of CT-findings for selection of patients into the favourable group for radiation therapy is discussed. The use of CT in the follow-up of irradiated laryngeal carcinoma is reviewed.

Orbital fat edema in anorexia nervosa: a reversible finding.

Orbital fat edema was found in a patient with long-standing severe anorexia nervosa. The changes disappeared after the patient gained weight. The underlying mechanisms remains unexplained, but the changes most likely coincide with the disappearance of fat tissue and the appearance of edema following disturbance of the electrolyte/fluid balance.

Intrahepatic splenosis: imaging features.

We report a patient who presented with asymptomatic focal liver lesions and in whom a diagnosis of intrahepatic splenosis was made. This rare condition mostly occurs in patients who previously underwent splenic trauma or surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics suggesting this diagnosis are described. The lesions were mainly hypointense on T1- and hyperintense on T2-weighted images. After administration of small iron oxide particles (SPIO-Endorem), the lesions remained slightly hyperintense relative to the hypointense liver parenchyma but showed a 50% loss in signal intensity. Knowledge of these MRI characteristics may avoid the use of surgical interventions to arrive at the correct diagnosis of these rare liver lesions.
