Misunderstandings of the risks of contrast agents have led to the persistence of outdated, non-evidence based policies that are often overly restrictive. This review presents a series of questions that arise in practice concerning such topics of controversy and confusion in regard to contrast media. For each case, we review the current evidence-based best practices for contrast media administration, based largely on the most recent American College of Radiology Manual on Contrast Media.
Background: The role of bedside Ultrasonography (US) in detection of pneumothorax in the acute care setting is well established. However, its role in the diagnosis of pneumothorax following chest tube removal post-lung resection has yet to be elucidated. Our aim was to assess the efficacy of portable ultrasound in the detection of pneumothorax following chest tube removal post-lung resection.
Kasabach-Merritt syndrome [KMS] is a rare but potentially life threatening condition characterized by consumptive coagulopathy caused by hemangiomas. A 64 year old lady was referred to CT scan with history of fever, pain abdomen, respiratory distress, anemia, raised bilirubin levels and altered coagulation profile with clinical diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation.
Torticollis is a common complaint of childhood. Trauma should always be considered and carefully excluded. All children with torticollis should be examined with plain radiographs to rule out a fracture or bony abnormality. Atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation has been defined as a cause of temporary, self-resolving torticollis in children.
Orbital metastases are rarely the first and sole presenting feature of distant carcinoma and extremely rare as the presenting sign of Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP). We report the case of a previously healthy woman who presented with diplopia and left orbital pain and underwent contrast enhanced orbit MRI: Imaging findings were interpreted as left orbital pseudotumor, so she began a treatment with steroids.
In a recent article, Koene et al. reported about a study of 30 carriers of the m.3243A>G mutation who were retrospectively evaluated for their findings on 2D speckle tracking echocardiography [1]. Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) was reduced in 56-70% of the patients. We have the following comments and concerns.
