A case of spinal cord lesion.

Case Courtesy : Dr Sajith Selvaganesan MD FSCCT FSCMR,Sunrise Hospital

Age: 25Yrs

Sex: Male

Complaints: Lower back pain.

Case study:

Loss of normal lumbar lordosis.
Relatively well defined, mildly heterogeneous, round to oval, iso to hyperintense intramedullary lesion measuring 11 x 10 x 17 mm (TR x AP x CC) noted the level of L3 vertebra

Images:

Conclusion

Relatively well defined, mildly heterogeneous, round to oval, iso to hyperintense intramedullary lesion measuring 11 x 10 x 17 mm (TR x AP x CC) noted the level of L3 vertebra – Likely myxopapillary ependymoma. Differential includes paraganglioma. Suggested HPE evaluation.

MRI Rotator Cuff injury with Labrum Tear

Case courtesy : Dr Sajith Selvaganesan MD FSCCT FSCMR, Sunrise Hospital

Age: 68 Yrs

Sex: Female

Case study:

High grade partial tear of subscapularis tendon with no retraction of muscle.
Altered intra-substance signal intensity noted in the supraspinatus tendon reaching up to the articular surface.
Altered signal intensity noted in the posterolateral aspect of humeral head.
Type V superior labral anterior posterior tear noted with minimal fluid along the interface.
Type II acromion seen.
Minimal joint effusion with subcoracoid bursal fluid.

Images:

Conclusion :

High grade partial tear of subscapularis tendon.
Partial tear of supraspinatus tendon.
Type V superior labral anterior posterior tear.
Altered signal intensity in the posterolateral aspect of humeral head – Likely hillsach’s lesion.
Minimal joint effusion with subcoracoid bursal fluid.
Acromioclavicular joint athropathy changes.

Talocalcaneal Impingement Syndrome.

Age: 30Yrs

Sex: Male

Complaints: Pain on foot while walking.

Case study: Subchondral high signal noted in the mid aspect of the talus and the calcaneum with small subchondral cystic areas – Apparent on the STIR sequences. Evidence of osteophytic changes with cortical irregularity and narrowing of the talo-calcaneal joint anteriorly. The osteophyte is seen encroaching into the sinus tarsi with narrowing.
The tibio-calcaneal angle (kites angle) is 83 degrees – Normal.
The talo-calcaneal angle is 45 degrees – Abnormal.

Images:

Conclusion : Subchondral talo-calcaneal high marrow signals with anterior joint space narrowing, osteophytic formation and encroachment into the sinus tarsi – Suggestive of talo-calcaneal impingement.
Increased talo-calcaneal angle (45 degrees) – Hindfoot valgus.
Peroneus longus and brevis tenosynovitis.

Post injection abscess

Name: Jaleela Ahammed

Age: 59 Yrs

Sex: Female

Complaints: To r/o abscess.

Introduction:

Case study:  Well defined thick walled heterogenous appearing hypoechoic collection measuring ~24 x 12 mm noted in the subcutaneous region of left lower abdomen. No evidence of any internal vascularity.

Images

Conclusion: Well defined thick walled hypoechoic collection in the subcutaneous plane of left lower abdomen at the site of needle puncture. – Features in favour of post injection abscess.
