Neuroradiologic findings in Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome.

PURPOSE: Our purpose was to determine the neuroradiologic findings of Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome on plain skull radiographs, CT, and MR images. METHODS: Eight patients with proved Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome (age range, 4 to 56 years) had a total of nine CT scans, seven MR imaging studies, and two plain radiographic examinations of the skull. The findings were reviewed retrospectively, with particular attention to the size of the posterior fossa and cerebellum. RESULTS: All patients had hypoplastic cerebellar hemispheres and a hypoplastic vermis in a small posterior fossa. One patient had a midline posterior fossa cyst and another had agenesis of the corpus callosum. CONCLUSION: Hypoplasia of the cerebellar hemispheres and the vermis and a small posterior fossa are the most prominent neuroradiologic findings in Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome.

Luxatio erecta of the hip: a critical retrospective.

The term "luxatio erecta" has been borrowed from the shoulder to identify rare traumatic hip dislocations in which there is inferior dislocation of the femoral head and inversion of the femoral shaft. A review of the literature is presented along with an additional illustrative case. The mechanism of injury, and the radiological and physical appearance of the patient, indicate that there are two subtypes of dislocation hitherto lumped together under the single term.

Skeletal findings in Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the appearance and frequency of skeletal abnormalities associated with the Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome of cerebellar ataxia, congenital cataracts, mental and physical retardation and myopathy. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Seventeen individuals affected with the disorder, of common ancestry and marked consanguinity, were found in an isolated area in southwest Alabama; 11 were available for radiologic examination of parts of the skeleton. The range and frequency of skeletal abnormalities thus demonstrated were tabulated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A constellation of cranial and extracranial skeletal abnormalities-including a small posterior fossa, spinal abnormalities, gracile bones, elbow and hip valgus and asymmetric metacarpal and metatarsal shortening- can lead the radiologist or orthopaedist to suggest the diagnosis, especially if appropriate neurological/neuroradiological findings also are present.

Tumoral calcinosis in an infant.

We report tumoral calcinosis, an uncommon disease of uncertain origin, in an infant-only the sixth instance of the disease reported in this age group. The radiologic features are typical as illustrated by three modalities. The clinical, radiologic and pathologic features are discussed along with comments concerning possible etiologies and management.

Choledochal 'clipoliths' after cholecystectomy.

Residual or recurrent stones in the common bile duct can pose a difficult diagnostic problem in the symptomatic postcholecystectomy patient. Although incrustation of unabsorbed suture material is the most important cause of stone recurrence in the common bile duct after surgery, hemostatic clips may also (though rarely) provide a nucleus for stone formation. We present two cases in which this occurred. Careful attention to the position and orientation of surgical clips on serial postoperative film studies can be most helpful in diagnosing this rare condition.
