Imaging of musculoskeletal soft tissue infection.

The role of different imaging techniques in the assessment of musculoskeletal soft tissue infection will be reviewed in this article. As classification according to the causative agent is impossible with imaging, soft tissue infections will be classified in view of their location. Consecutively, musculoskeletal soft tissue infections of the joints, tendons and bursae, muscles, the skin and its related structures as well as infectious lymphadenitis and lymphangitis will be discussed.

Proteus syndrome: MRI characteristics of plantar cerebriform hyperplasia.

Proteus syndrome is a rare congenital hamartomatous syndrome with a variety of abnormalities. It shares many features with other congenital hamartomatous disorders, but cerebriform hyperplasia of the soles and the palms is known as a quite distinctive characteristic in the dermatologic literature. The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate the MRI features of plantar cerebriform hyperplasia in a 9-year-old boy with known Proteus syndrome.

Desmoplastic fibroma of bone: MRI features.

Desmoplastic fibroma of bone is a very rare benign tumor, which may be locally aggressive. In contrast to the well-documented radiological appearance, the literature on MR imaging features of this tumor is scarce. The MR imaging characteristics in our case are compared to those previously reported. Although there is a considerable overlap in the MR imaging features with other bone tumors, an interesting MR feature of desmoplastic fibroma is the presence of low to intermediate signal intensity foci on T2-weighted images, which radiographically does not correspond to calcifications. This feature may help narrow the differential diagnosis.

Sclerosing bone dysplasias: genetic and radioclinical features.

Although knowledge of basic genetics in the field of sclerosing bone dysplasias is progressing, the radiologist still plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis of this relatively poorly understood group of disorders. Based on a target site approach, these anomalies are classified into three groups. Within each group, further differentiation can be made by distinctive clinical findings and by mode of inheritance: (a) dysplasias of endochondral bone formation: osteopetrosis (Albers-Schönberg disease), pycnodysostosis, enostosis, osteopoikilosis, osteopathia striata (Voorhoeve disease); (b) dysplasias of intramembranous bone formation: progressive diaphyseal dysplasia (Camurati-Engelmann disease) and variants, hyperostosis corticalis generalisata (Van Buchem disease) and variants; and (c) mixed sclerosing dysplasias: melorheostosis (Leri disease) and overlap syndromes.

Metachronous eosinophilic granuloma of bone.

We present the case of a 4-year-old girl who developed a metachronous osseous lesion of the left distal femur five months after successful surgical treatment of an eosinophilic granuloma in the left proximal femur. After treatment of the second lesion with curettage, no further recurrence occurred during a follow-up interval of 17 months. Radiologists should be aware that additional eosinophilic granulomas of bone, occurring in up to four years after the initial diagnosis, should still be interpreted as a localized form of Langerhans'cell histiocytosis with a more favorable prognosis than the multifocal disseminated form, with involvement of organ systems other than the skeletal system.

MR imaging of the shoulder: imaging techniques and anatomy.

Since the development of dedicated surface coils and the more widespread use of state-of-the-art arthrographic techniques, MR imaging of the shoulder has come to maturity. In this article the imaging techniques of conventional MR imaging and MR arthrography of the shoulder are reviewed. The complex anatomy, the many anatomic variations and diagnostic variants and pitfalls and discrimination of pathologic entities from normal findings are discussed. Familiarity with the normal anatomy is a prerequisite to achieve a high diagnostic accuracy in the detection of a variety of pathologic conditions of the shoulder joint.

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis.

The case of a 17-year-old boy with Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO) is presented. Clinical manifestations included a three month history of marked antalgic scoliosis, thoracic and mid-sternal pain, mild fever, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and skin lesions such as acne and psoriasis. Radiologically, osteolytic lesions were seen in the sternum and the thoracic spine. Histopathological examination of the sternal lesion revealed chronic osteomyelitis. Bone cultures of the resected specimen were negative for known pathogens. The combination of the clinical, radiological, histopathological and microbiological features was the clue to the diagnosis of CRMO.

Trauma of the pediatric ankle and foot.

This article presents a brief overview of the injuries to the ankle and foot encountered in children and adolescents. Trauma to the ankle or foot may result from acute, chronic, or repetitive forces. The role of the different imaging modalities in the assessment of ankle and foot trauma in the growing patient is discussed. Plain radiographs remain the mainstay in the diagnosis of most acute traumas, whereas CT may be helpful to unravel the complex anatomy of certain fractures like the triplane or juvenile Tillaux fracture. In the evaluation of chronic injuries, including osteochondrosis dissecans and osteonecrosis, MRI is evolving as the modality of choice.
