Unusual features of parovarian cysts. A report of two cases.

In two cases, parovarian cysts were well characterized by ultrasonography and presented with unusual clinical features. In one case the cysts were present bilaterally and associated with an arcuate uterus. In the other, histology of the cyst revealed a papillary serous cystadenoma. The lesion was also associated with an arcuate uterus.

Imaging of questionable and unusual pelvic masses.

Ultrasonography is usually the initial diagnostic examination performed for evaluating gynaecological conditions and pelvic masses. The authors' experience with 11 "problem cases" and a review of the literature of such enigmas has led to the following recommendations in the following order: a plain radiograph or repeat ultrasound study; ultrasound study with the water enema technique; gastrointestinal examination if the answer is still not apparent, followed by computed tomography or a real-time ultrasound study during a clinical pelvic examination.

Sonographic pseudoasymmetry of the prenatal cerebral hemispheres.

The ultrasonographic image of the fetal head at the appropriate level for determination of the biparietal diameter reveals an apparent asymmetry of the cerebral hemispheres. This was confirmed and analyzed in 49 sequential fetuses who had no neurologic deficits at birth and in the autopsy specimen of an 8-month-old infant without any anatomic abnormalities of the head. In the hemisphere farthest from the transducer, a crescent-shaped echo-poor region was visualized abutting the calvarium. This resembles an abnormal fluid collection but represents normal anatomy. High-amplitude reflections were observed on the medial side of the crescent and were produced by the combination of the sylvian fissure and the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle. The fine echo pattern of the near hemisphere, which appeared to represent normal anatomy, was artifactual. The cerebral asymmetry seen by conventional ultrasonographic imaging after the 15th gestational week should not suggest an underlying pathologic process. The studies suggest that a higher-quality examination of the near hemisphere of the fetal cranium can be performed with properly focused transducers.

Meigs syndrome and ovarian fibroma: CT findings.

We present a case of ovarian fibroma with associated Meigs syndrome, Even though the CT findings of ovarian fibroma have been reported previously, our case, with associated meigs syndrome, demonstrated a broader spectrum of CT findings.
