BACKGROUND
The clinical manifestations of sickle cell disease (SCD) vary, but may be attributed to vaso-occlusion, chronic hemolytic anemia, and infections as a result of functional asplenia. We report a case of a man who presented with severe headache caused by an uncommon complication of
We studied 40 patients exhibiting radiologic changes of either osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) or avascular necrosis (AVN) involving the mandibular condyle to evaluate the structural changes associated with these lesions when using high-field-strength MR imaging. Various clinical indications for
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by malar rash, oral ulcers, arthralgia, photosensitivity and nephritis. Herein, we report a rare comorbidity, multiple avascular necrosis (AVN), in an adolescent SLE patient and also highlight the importance of risk factors
Repeated vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs) are the hallmark of sickle cell disease (SCD). These repeated crises can lead to bone infarcts, necrosis, and, over time, degenerative changes in the bone marrow. Orbital complications in SCD patients are infrequent and usually present as orbital cellulitis. We
This is a case report of an 81-year-old male with severe headaches caused by osteonecrotic lesions in the frontotemporal part of the skull. Initially, metastatic lesions were suspected but other causes had to be identified because of chronic inflammation evidence in all biopsies. In the diagnostic
OBJECTIVE
To determine the efficacy of high-volume anesthetic suboccipital nerve blocks (HVSON) for chronic cluster headache (CCH) and to define consistency of response over long-term use.
BACKGROUND
There are studies showing efficacy of greater occipital and suboccipital nerve block injections for
Avascular necrosis at sites other than femoral head (AVNOFH)/Non-Femoral AVN is a rare entity. No standard of treatment still exists for treating early stages of AVNOFH with most of the cases eventually progressing to a late arthritic stage needing surgical intervention. OBJECTIVE
To study the natural history of clinically occult avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
METHODS
Sixty-six patients with SLE (without symptoms referable to the hip) receiving at least 5 mg/day prednisone for > or = 6 months were screened by
Spontaneous epidural hematoma (EDH) is a rare occurrence in patients with sickle cell disease, with a small number of cases reported. Appropriate diagnosis is critical, because rapid neurosurgical intervention may be required. This unique case illustrates clinical and MRI features of an 18-year-old
We present two unusual cases of aseptic postoperative lipoid meningitis resulting from necrosis of a free fat graft placed into a skull base craniotomy defect. Two patients underwent translabyrinthine resection of acoustic neuroma and received abdominal fat grafts to ablate the surgical defect. Both
The clinical and radiologic findings in 30 patients who sustained injuries to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) were retrospectively analyzed. Imaging consisted of variable combinations of radiography, tomography, two-compartment arthrography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging and
OBJECTIVE
To describe the long-term follow-up results of complex dorsal metacarpophalangeal joint dislocation (MPJD). We hypothesize that there would be no long-term functional deficit in most patients, even with the presence of one of the familiar complications.
METHODS
We describe 5 patients with
OBJECTIVE
To report the clinical and imaging findings in patients living in the Western Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia where the Benin b-globin gene haplotype is prevalent.
METHODS
Our study population consists of 36 sickle cell disease patients (17 males, 19 females; age range, 1.6-35.6
BACKGROUND
Intravenous bisphosphonates are widely used for treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. They are associated with transient influenza-like symptoms, predominantly after the first zoledronic acid (up to 32 %) or ibandronate (up to 5 %) administration. The experience in clinical practice
A 29-year-old man diagnosed as having pulmonary sarcoidosis in 2008, and hypothyroidism secondary to thyroidectomy for Basedow's disease was admitted to our hospital with pustular psoriasis in November 2010. He experienced high fever (38°C) and headache in late October 2010. Gadolinium-enhanced
