osteophyte/edema

Two cases were reported in which severe postoperative laryngeal edema were developed after the operation of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) of cervical spine. In the first case, sudden airway obstruction was developed in the general ward 6 hour after uneventful decompression surgery

This research aims to examine the presence of osteophyte in patients with arthrogenic temporomandibular disorders through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); to investigate the influence of sex and clinical symptoms in its prevalence; and the position of the osteophytes in the condyle. The study was

Hypertrophic anterior cervical osteophytes have been reported as a cause of dysphagia, with about 100 cases described in the literature; on the other hand, chronic or acute dyspnea due to edema of the laryngeal inlet or bilateral vocal cord adduction-fixation is rare. We report a 57-year-old patient

OBJECTIVE To assess the contribution of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of tibial stump bursitis, in the establishment of differential diagnosis, and in the therapeutic management prosthetic-stump interface, mainly by adaptation of the prosthetic device. METHODS Two-year,

Anterior cervical osteophytes are commonly found in elderly patients, but rarely produce symptoms. When symptoms occur, they can range from mild symptoms of dysphagia, dysphonia, and foreign body sensation to severe symptoms of airway obstruction due to compression of the pharynx or larynx. We

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), or ankylosing hyperostosis ("Forestier's disease"), is an ossifying diathesis of unknown etiology. Diagnosis is primarily radiologic: osseous bridging of at least four contiguous vertebral bodies, a radiolucent line between the deposited bone and the

OBJECTIVE Our objective was to evaluate the predictive value of various MRI findings in the acromioclavicular joint for pain relief after intraarticular injection. METHODS The acromioclavicular joint of 50 patients (20 women, 30 men; mean age, 51 years; range, 25-75 years) was evaluated on MRIs of

OBJECTIVE To determine the spectrum of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings at the calcaneal attachment of the plantar fascia in asymptomatic volunteers. METHODS The study was approved by the institutional review board, and informed consent was obtained from all subjects. MR imaging was

OBJECTIVE To present imaging characteristics of the ankle at 7.0 T and to investigate the appearance and image quality of presumed pathologies of ankles without physical strain as well as of ankles after a marathon run in comparison to 1.5 T. METHODS Appearance of presumed pathologic findings and

I present 10 cases of spongious bone injury of the femoral head induced by physical stress. All patients were young military recruits who complained of hip pain from weight bearing which had started during physical exertion. Increased uptake in a radionuclide bone scan was regarded as the criterion

A 67-year-old woman presented to our vein clinic for chronic left lower extremity edema, pain, and varicosities. After failed conservative management, a computed tomography scan revealed central venous stenosis secondary to compression of the left common iliac vein by a large osteophyte along the

BACKGROUND A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the shoulder can have added value in diagnosing symptomatic osteoarthritis of the acromioclavicular (AC) joint. Specific MRI signs have been recognized but not analyzed extensively before. This study aims to identify predictive MRI signs in
