History (HX):
Pain and incomplete paralysis of right limb following trauma Male 22 yr
Findings:
(Dilated nerve root sheath following root avulsion)
Sagital T2WI shows prominent intraforaminal CSF-filled space without characteristic hypointensity of exiting nerve root
Diagnostic (DX):
Multiple right sided nerve root avulsions
(Brachial plexus traction injury avulsion pseudomeningocele)
Discussion:
Lateral meningocele mimics pseudomeningocele but contains neural elements
Feb 06



History (HX):
Palpable mass and pain during a few months, Male 39 yr
Findings:
Large well-marginated solid and cystic mass in lower abdomen and pelvis behind the urinary bladder and above the rectum suggestive of a retropritoneal mass.
The solid components of the mass shows marked enhancement on post-Gd images.
Diagnostic (DX):
Low grade spindle cell sarcoma in favour of schwannoma (proved)
Oct 12
History (HX):
Pain and swelling of the right elbow and right ankle / clinical history of hemophilia, Male 13 yr
Findings:
-Hemosiderin deposing in synovial membrane around these joints low signal on both T1W and T2WI
-Subchondral and intraosseous cysts. Most of them high signal on T2WI and low signal on T1WI compatible with nonhemorrhagic fluid and some are low signal on both T1WI and T2WI representing fibrotic tissue and hemosiderin
-Small cortical erosions
Diagnostic (DX):
Hemophilic arthropathy
Discussion:
The differential diagnosis of synovial-based lesions hypointense on T2WI includes PVNS, GCT of tendon sheath, synovial chondromatosis, hemophilic arthropathy, amyloid , longstanding RA and siderotic synovitis
Oct 12
History (HX):
Palpable mass at right buttock and severe local pain history of fibromatosis at distal right thigh, Male 21 yr
Findings:
Relatively large mass at right buttock (within the gluteus maximus) with irregular margins which contains low signal foci on both T1WI and T2WI fs
Diagnostic (DX):
Fibromatosis
Discussion:
The fibromatoses are a group of soft tissue lesions characterized by proliferation of fibroblasts in an abundant collagen matrix and are prone to recurrence after surgery
Oct 12
History (HX):
Pain, swelling and irritation following IM injection (vaccination) at left thigh at birth, Female 3 months
Findings:
Thigh MRI shows, a large fluid-filled cystic lesion within the quadriceps femoris muscle with internal septations, perilesional edema and thick irregular enhancing wall and enhancing septations.
No evidence of osteomyelitis
Diagnostic (DX):
Abscess formation (proved with surgical drainage)
Oct 01
History (HX):
Trauma during sport, Male 36yr
Findings:
Axial T2WI show edema at anterior fascial compartment. Absence of the biceps tendon at the level of the radial head (its normal distal attachment site) is seen and at upper axial cuts an abnormally thickened and retracted biceps tendon is seen.
Diagnostic (DX):
Biceps tendon tear
Discussion:
The biceps tendon has two muscular components proximally consisting of a short head attaches to the coracoid process and a long head that attaches to the superior glenoid labrum. These two muscles fuse at upper portion of the arm and have a single distal attachment at the radial tuberosity

Patient ID: 88012026
HX: Pain and palpable bony prominence .male 29y
DX: Osteoid osteoma
Findings:
A small well-defined lesion within the cortex of distal humeral diaphysis with surrounding cortical hyperostosis, a small central nidus, bone marrow edema and perilesional soft tissue edema.
Discussion:
Benign tumor consisting of osteoblastic mass (nidus) surrounded by zone of reactive sclerosis
Apr 24
Patient ID: 88012768
HX: Palpable mass at right upper thigh .female 28yDX: Low grade fibrosarcoma (proved)
Findings:
Relatively large well-defined mass at right upper thigh and right inguinal region high signal on T2WI and isosignal to muscles on T1WI
