Color doppler sonography in the follow-up of giant glutealaneurysm embolization.

False aneurysm of the gluteal artery is uncommon and may develop secondary to penetrating gluteal injury or pelvic trauma. The use of color Doppler sonography may allow the initial diagnosis of gluteal pseudoaneurysms and provide information about the success of the interventional radiological procedures. In this study, color Doppler sonographic examination demonstrated the failure of the endovascular treatment of a giant superior gluteal artery pseudoaneurysm. The second intervention of super-selective coil embolization provided optimal thrombosis and eliminated the need for open surgery.

Subcapsular hemorrhage of adult Wilms' tumor.

Wilms' tumor is a rare malignancy of kidney in adults. It usually cannot be differentiated from other renal masses preoperatively. This is a presentation of a case of adult Wilms' tumor who developed spontaneous hemorrhage during radiological evaluation. As tumor rupture can change the stage of the tumor and alter the prognosis of the patient, urgent work-up and treatment is advised.

Herpes encephalitis in children. MRI assessment.

The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in 14 patients with biopsy or polymerase chain reaction proven herpes simplex encephalitis were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the diagnostic value of MRI in the early diagnosis of herpes simplex encephalitis in children. In addition to the early findings, follow-up MRI scans were obtained in four patients. Typical limbic system involvement was seen in 78 percent of the cases. Contrast-enhanced MRI was found to be superior to routine MRI sequences and computerized tomography (CT) in the early detection of inflammation. Follow-up MR images in four patients demonstrated the volume loss and late petechial hemorrhage in the involved regions. Magnetic resonance imaging is the method of choice in the diagnosis and follow-up of herpes simplex encephalitis.
