In patients with chronic hoarseness who have a malignant-looking submucosal laryngeal mass, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor should be considered. Conservative surgery and steroid treatment are advocated because of laryngeal preservation.

From this case, we can understand the etiology of intracranial hypotension and consider the complication of chiropractic manipulation.

Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a recent technological advance of ultrasonography (US) to assess tissue stiffness. The purpose of this study is to assess tissue stiffness of malignant cervical lymph nodes (LN) with SWE, to reveal diagnostic performance of SWE in differentiating metastatic LN from lymphoma, and to assess inter-observer agreement of SWE. We assessed 62 malignant LN (24 lymphomas and 38 metastatic LN) and their median speed was 6.34 m/s and median elasticity was 69.7 kPa. Add of S

Although ACC appears to have nonspecific imaging findings, familiarity with some imaging features can be helpful for differential diagnosis of head and neck tumors.

We report the MR imaging findings in a 44-year-old man with a low-grade synovial sarcoma. There was a right-sided epidural and paravertebral mass, widening of the ipsilateral neural foramen at the L4-L5 level, and focal erosion of the right superior articular process of the L5 vertebra. The mass was relatively homogeneous, hyperintense to muscle and isointense to fat on T2-weighted images, and isointense to muscle on T1-weighted images, and it demonstrated moderate homogeneous enhancement.

OBJECTIVES: Kikuchi disease is a benign, self-limiting cause of cervical lymphadenopathy. It can show sonographic features similar to those of other common causes of lymphadenopathy. The purpose of this study was to characterize the sonographic features of Kikuchi disease that can contribute in differentiating between Kikuchi disease and other diseases causing cervical lymphadenopathy. METHODS: Sonographic findings of 175 patients with biopsy-proven Kikuchi disease were retrospectively reviewed.

OBJECTIVES: Pleomorphic adenomas and Warthin tumors are the most common salivary gland tumors. It is important to differentiate between them because at least a partial parotidectomy is necessary for pleomorphic adenomas, whereas enucleation is sufficient for Warthin tumors. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of vascular pattern analysis using microvascular sonography to differentiate between the tumors. METHODS: Sixty-two patients with pathologically proven pleomorphic adenomas (n = 38)

This report shows that magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging and fiber tracking can identify changes of the corticospinal tract in clinically diagnosed primary lateral sclerosis patients. A 67-yr-old man presented with quadriparesis and dysarthria. Slowness and clumsiness of the left hand became evident at the age of 62 yrs. Spasticity involved the left arm and soon spread to all four limbs. In addition, spasticity caused spastic dysarthria. At age 65, he showed gait disturbance and occasi

BACKGROUND: Many physicians consider aneurysmal wall enhancement (AWE) on high resolution-vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) as an imaging biomarker of unstable unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical value of different AWE signal intensities (SIs) by assessing the correlation between the AWE SIs and surgical findings and rupture risk assessment tools. METHODS: Twenty-six patients with 34 aneurysms who underwent surgical clipping were included. The corrected AWE S
