  • Bone Grafting in Brodie's Absc Rafting in Brodie's Abscess
    Case Report Bone Grafting in Brodie’s Abscess Athar Ahemad Department of Orthopaedics, Indian Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Warudi, Tq. Badnapur, Jalna, Maharashtra, INDIA. Email: [email protected] Abstract Brodie’s abscess is a localized infection of the bone manifesting on radiographs as an osteolytic lesion limited by sclerotic bone. It was first described by Sir Benjamin Brodie 1in the year 1832 as a localized abscess in the tibia seen in an amputation stump. It is most commonly seen in proximal tibia follo wed by femur and then in humerus. Various treatments have been described in the literature ranging from antibiotics alone to debridement alone to curettage and filling of defect by bone graft or cement 2,3,4. Here, we report 2 cases of Brodie’s abscess tre ated successfully by surgical debridement and bone grafting.

Although certain specific manifestations can be attributed to some of the tumor types, a more general pattern of clinical presentation of an expansive sacral lesion can be elaborated. Local pain with or without pseudoradicular or radicular radiation is the most frequent initial symptom and is usually followed by the manifesta- tion of a lumbosacral sensorimotor deficit; bladder/bowel and/or sexual dysfunction appear throughout the natural course of disease.

  • Musculoskeletal Radiology
    MUSCULOSKELETAL RADIOLOGY Developed by The Education Committee of the American Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology 1997-1998 Charles S. Resnik, M.D. (Co-chair) Arthur A. De Smet, M.D. (Co-chair) Felix S. Chew, M.D., Ed.M. Mary Kathol, M.D. Mark Kransdorf, M.D., Lynne S. Steinbach, M.D. INTRODUCTION The following curriculum guide comprises a list of subjects which are important to a thorough understanding of disorders that affect the musculoskeletal system. It does not include every musculoskeletal condition, yet it is comprehensive enough to fulfill three basic requirements: 1.to provide practicing radiologists with the fundamentals needed to be valuable consultants to orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, and other referring physicians, 2.to provide radiology residency program directors with a guide to subjects that should be covered in a four year teaching curriculum, and 3.to serve as a “study guide” for diagnostic radiology residents. To that end, much of the material has been divided into “basic” and “advanced” categories. Basic material includes fundamental information that radiology residents should be able to learn, while advanced material includes information that musculoskeletal radiologists might expect to master. It is acknowledged that this division is somewhat arbitrary. It is the authors’ hope that each user of this guide will gain an appreciation for the information that is needed for the successful practice of musculoskeletal radiology. I.

  • Craniofacial Chondrosarcomas: Imaging Findings in 15 Untreated Cases
    165 Craniofacial Chondrosarcomas: Imaging Findings in 15 Untreated Cases Ya-Yen Lee1 Radiographic findings of 15 untreated chondrosarcomas of the cranial and facial Pamela Van Tassel bones were reviewed. These tumors have a propensity to occur in the wall of a maxillary sinus, at the junction of sphenoid and ethmoid sinuses and vomer, and at the undersur­ face of the sphenoid bone. Because of its slow-growing nature, chondrosarcomas tend to be large, multi lobulated, and sharply demarcated when detected. Frequent bone changes are a combination of erosion and destruction, with sharp transitional zones and absent periosteal reaction. Tumor matrix calcifications, not necessarily chondroid, are almost always present. Both CT and MR may be necessary for thorough evaluation of tumor extent. Chondrosarcoma, a malignant but usually slow-growing cartilaginous tumor, constitutes approximately 11 % of malignant bone tumors [1] but rarely occurs in the craniofacial region . Because of its propensity to occur in the deep facial structures or base of the skull, the true extent and origin of the tumor may be overlooked if not properly evaluated radiographically. We review a relatively large series of craniofacial chondrosarcomas and discuss the differential diagnosis and choice of imaging technique. Materials and Methods This retrospective radiologic review was based on the pretreatment radiographic studies of 15 patients with craniofacial chondrosarcomas seen at our institution over a period of 40 years , excluding three intracranial dural chondrosarcomas, which are to be reported sepa­ rately. An attempt was also made to correlate the radiographic findings with the hi stologic grades of the tumors. The ages of the patients ranged from 10 to 73 years , with a mean of 40 years.

Imaging Center, Hospital Clínico Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile. b. Radiology Service, Hospital de Niños Roberto del Río, Santiago, Chile. Abstract: Knee pathology is a reason for consultation and a prevalent condition in children, which is why it is important to know both the normal variants as well as the most frequent pathologies. In this review a brief description is given of the main pathologies and normal variants that affect the knee in children, not only the main clinical characteristics but also the findings described in the different, most used imaging techniques (X-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]).
