| Abstract: The underlying etiologies of paediatric bowel obstruction are wide ranging. It can be divided into proximal and distal bowel obstruction. Amongst the different etiologies of the proximal bowel obstructions at the level of the duodenum, there are a few etiologies including duodenal atresia, internal hernias, intestinal malrotation, annular pancreas etc. Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is amongst one of these differential diagnoses which is more prevalent in the adolescent age group. We describe the imaging features of this entity and its demographics, imaging characteristics, treatment and prognosis.

Radiographic Findings of Dysplastic Cerebellar Gangliocytoma (Lhermitte-Duclos Disease) in a Woman with Cowden Syndrome: A Case Study and Literature Review by Gloria Joo et al. |
Published: 2020 Mar
Issue: 14(3) :: Pages: 1-6
| Abstract: The following case report features a middle-aged female patient, previously diagnosed with Cowden syndrome, who presented to the hospital with symptoms of headaches and changes in vision that began with no apparent cause and persisted for almost a month. MRI of the head confirmed a diagnosis of dysplastic cerebellar gangliocytoma, also known as Lhermitte-Duclos disease. This cerebellar tumor, while extremely rare in incidence, is classified as the most common type of brain lesion in adult patients with Cowden syndrome. This report will also include a comprehensive literature review of Cowden syndrome and Lhermitte-Duclos disease, with greater emphasis on the radiologic characteristics of Lhermitte-Duclos disease.

Meandering pulmonary vein: A case report by Sneha Harish C et al. |
Published: 2020 Mar
Issue: 14(3) :: Pages: 7-13
| Abstract: Anomalies of the pulmonary venous circulation are extremely uncommon. We report a case of an anomalous unilateral single pulmonary vein also referred to as a meandering pulmonary vein. A single large tortuous pulmonary vein was seen on the right side draining into the left atrium with associated ipsilateral absence of the middle lobe bronchus and interlobar fissures. This is considered a variant of the classical scimitar syndrome. The venous anatomy was depicted with considerable accuracy using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) non-invasively.
