The value of CT-scanning in supratentorial haemangioblastomas.

The authors describe a case of supratentorial haemangioblastoma, presenting with epileptic fits, without association with polycythemia, or Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, which, if present, would have given a clinical clue as to the nature of the lesion.

Real time (US) scanning of palpable lesions in the soft tissues (muscles and tendons) of the extremities.

The results of real time ultrasound (US) examination of palpable lesions located in the muscle and tendon area of the extremities are reported in a series of 67 patients. The US appearance of various lesions is described. The contribution of real time US (B mode) during muscular contraction to the diagnosis and the results of diagnostic fine needle punctures (FNP) and their value are discussed.

Is contrast-enhanced CT indicated in acute head injury?

The authors discuss the value of intravenous contrast enhancement in CT scanning in acute head injury. In a series of seventy consecutive patients they conclude that no incremental information was obtained by performing contrast-enhanced CT scans in the acute phase of the head injury.

A sign of lumbar disk herniation recognizable on lateral CT generated digital radiograms.

Computed tomography is a very sensitive and fairly specific imaging mode for diagnosing herniated disks in patients with low back pain and radiculopathy. We describe a new CT sign associated with posterior disk herniation that consists of a bony defect on the lower posterior angle of the proximal vertebral body and endplate shown on CT generated digital radiograms. This finding, by no means constant, is encountered frequently enough to be described as a sign of posterior disk protrusion. It often occurs concomitantly with posterior avulsion of a bone fragment probably related to avascular bone necrosis of the posterior inferior angle of the endplate.

Panmedullary ependymoma with multiple cysts complicated by fatty deposits in the proximal spinal cord.

The authors describe a case of panmedullary ependymoma presenting with multiple cysts complicated by fatty deposits in the spinal cord from C6 to D2 as demonstrated by CT-scanning. To the authors' best knowledge the combination of these features have not been described previously. The radiological, operative and histological findings are discussed and compared with those of other panmedullary spinal cord tumours such as astrocytomas.
