OBJECTIVE Greater trochanter pain syndrome (GTPS) is a diverse clinical entity caused by a variety of underlying conditions. We sought to explore the impact of (1) hip morphology, namely the center-edge angle (CEa) and femoral neck-shaft (NSa) angle, (2) hip abductor tendon degeneration, (3) the

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the early results of arthroscopic treatment in patients with missed occult greater tuberosity (GT) fracture of the humerus using the arthroscopic suture-bridge fixation technique. METHODS Between January 2007 and August 2010, we used

BACKGROUND The overall incidence of pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) has been estimated at 1 per 100,000 in the general population, with an increase to 19 per 100,000 among overweight patients. About 25% of affected patients are asymptomatic until they present with vision loss. We hypothesized that PTC

UNASSIGNED Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used to identify focal bone marrow edema or a focal periphyseal edema (FOPE) zone, in the closing growth plates of adolescent knees. UNASSIGNED In the current case, an 11-year-old boy reported pain in his left hip. He had been participating in

Comparative examination of the material obtained from 133 cadavers of patients dying after operations for chronic pancreatitis, pancreonecrosis, and cholecystitis as well as dying suddenly with other diseases (control) was carried out. Stereoscopic microscopy was used to study the internal relief of

BACKGROUND Facial nerve schwannomas are rare lesions that constitute only 0.8% of all intrapetrous mass lesions. The least frequent lesions are tumors originating in the greater petrosal nerve (GPN). We present a case of a GPN schwannoma with temporal lobe edema in which the patient was operated on

We report a case of torsion of the greater omentum, which occurred in a 39-year-old man with an adhesive inguinal hernia. Preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed a characteristic whirling fatty mass occupying the middle and lower abdomen anteriorly. MR imaging

Free Water Imaging is a novel diffusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging method that is able to separate changes affecting the extracellular space from those that reflect changes in neuronal cells and processes. A previous Free Water Imaging study in schizophrenia identified significantly greater

OBJECTIVE Perihematomal edema volume may be related to intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) volume at baseline and, consequently, with hematoma expansion. However, the relationship between perihematomal edema and hematoma expansion has not been well established. We aimed to investigate the relationship

BACKGROUND To show that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be useful to diagnose radiographically invisible greater tuberosity fractures in patients with clinical presentations suspicious for rotator cuff injury. METHODS Six patients with subtle greater tuberosity fractures who were sent for MRI

OBJECTIVE To report clinical characteristics of optic neuritis (ON) in Koreans >50 years of age. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed on patients with ON between January 2000 and December 2009. We obtained the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), Goldmann perimetry, relative afferent

Chronic venous disease of the lower extremities is a clinical entity that is commonly encountered by practicing physicians. The problem is usually a direct consequence of a previous episode of deep venous thrombosis. Patients so afflicted suffer from a distinct series of symptoms that are grouped

BACKGROUND Although the relationship between pain and bone marrow edema (BME) in the osteoarthritic knee has been established, little is known about the effect of preoperative BME on postoperative outcomes after knee arthroplasty or if the influence of BME on postoperative outcomes differs between
