Children demonstrating a radiologic malabsorption pattern on small bowel follow-through study performed for other reasons are frequently subjected to intensive gastrointestinal investigations, even in the absence of clinical manifestations of malabsorption. To determine the usefulness of this radiologic finding, the clinical findings of all patients with the typical malabsorption pattern on small bowel follow-through examination were reviewed retrospectively. The presence of a malabsorption pattern was based on three radiologic criteria: flocculation and segmentation of barium, thickening of mucosal folds, and dilation of intestinal loops. Thirteen patients fulfilled the criteria for radiologic malabsorption pattern, but six (46%) had no clinical evidence of malabsorption, according to 3- to 5-day fecal fat analysis. In addition, five of these patients had normal mucosal histologic findings on duodenal biopsy. It was concluded that radiologic malabsorption pattern is a nonspecific finding, and in the absence of other clinical features suggestive of malabsorption or growth failure further investigations may not be justified.

Rhinofacial entomophthoromycosis is an uncommon chronic fungal infection of the head and neck. The diagnosis is usually based on clinical manifestations; however, diagnosis of this infection based on early manifestations is difficult and occasionally rhinofacial entomophthoromycosis is mistaken for other diseases. Therefore, computed tomography is introduced to support the diagnosis. Radiologic findings were nonspecific with swelling of the sinonasal mucosa and perinasal region. However, subcutaneous calcification, that was observed in all our cases, may be a supportive radiologic evidence for diagnosis. The diagnosis should be confirmed definitively using histopathology or fungal culture. Early diagnosis allows prompt and appropriate treatment that will achieve excellent outcomes. We suggest that subcutaneous calcification radiologic finding may guide the aware physician to an early diagnosis of rhinofacial entomophthoromycosis.

Meningiomas are the second most common tumor to involve the cerebellopontine angle (CPA), but controversy exists as to whether they can arise within the internal auditory canal (IAC) or whether involvement of the IAC occurs secondarily by extension from the CPA. This paper reports on a patient with an enhancing IAC meningioma that then grew and on subsequent scans was found to involve the CPA. This case demonstrates that these tumors can arise within the IAC and can grow out to involve the CPA. These findings are discussed within the context of meningioma tumor genetics and the histologic evidence for precursor cells in the IAC. The radiologic findings useful in distinguishing an acoustic neuroma from a meningioma are reviewed in the light of this case. While an enhancing mass projecting into the IAC is most often an acoustic neuroma, this radiologic finding is not pathognomonic.

Introduction A radiologic finding takes a prominent place in establishing the diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism. It may rather vary in appearance, depending on the size of the obturated blood vessel. Changes in the pulmonary parenchyma develop within 24 hours after pulmonary thromboembolism attack occurs. In microembolism, the radiologic finding appears normal. Triangle-shaped shadows characteristic for pulmonary thromboembolism may appear as either round or oval on computerized CT scan. In standard chest X-ray finding, these lesions look like tumorous ones. Results Over the period from 1995 to 1997, there were 421 patients treated for pulmonary thromboembolism at the Institute of Pulmonary Diseases in Sremska Kamenica (Yugoslavia), whereas 3.09 % of them presented with an oval shadow in a standard chest X-ray or CT finding. The analysis performed in 1981 revealed that majority of patients with pulmonary thromboembolism (11.4%) had round-shaped shadows. Discussion Any round-shaped shadow discovered by both standard chest X-ray and CT findings should be carefully investigated because differential diagnostics includes a variety of diseases. Conclusion A round-shaped or oval lung shadow seen in standard chest X-ray or CT finding should be suspected for lung cancer. Patients are therefore submitted to aggressive diagnostic procedures. Pulmonary thromboembolism should also be thought of in order to initiate proper treatment in time.

Primary nasal tuberculosis is rare. We report a case that was all the more extraordinary because of the age and sex of the patient (an 11-year-old boy), the unusual associated symptoms (epistaxis and grand mal seizures), and the presence of intracranial extension. Clinical and radiologic finding s on our initial evaluation suggested that the patient had a large sinonasal malignancy. The patient manifested no evidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. The diagnosis of primary nasal tuberculosis was established only after we obtained the results of histopathology of the excised mass and a subsequent tuberculin skin test; the diagnosis was confirmed by the patient's rapid response to antituberculosis drug therapy. We also review the relevant literature on this rare condition.
