Thyroid nodules are common and the prevalence varies between 4 and 7% by palpation and 19-68% by high-resolution USG. Most thyroid nodules are benign, and the malignancy rate varies between 7 and 15% of patients. Thyroid nodules are detected incidentally during clinical examination or, more often, during imaging studies performed for another reason. All detected thyroid nodules should be evaluated clinically. The main test in evaluating thyroid function is thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). If the serum TSH level is below the normal reference range, a radionuclide thyroid scan should be performed to determine whether the nodule is hyperfunctioning...

Budd Chiari syndrome is an unusual vascular disease involving the hepatic vasculature and has significant mortality and morbidity if not treated early. Ultrasonography (USG), Doppler, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have classical imaging findings that can help make a reliable and quick diagnosis. Intervention radiology plays an important role in the treatment of these patients, helping avoid various complications and proper patient management. We are presenting a case report with classical imaging spectrum and highlighting successful intervention with hepatic vein stenting...

Foreign bodies are uncommon, and the migration of ingested or inserted foreign bodies within or out of the gastrointestinal tract is even rarer. Migration of foreign objects from the digestive system to the soft tissue in the neck, genitourinary tract, or abdominal cavity to intraluminal extension in bowel loops is an uncommon but well-reported occurrence. The accidentally retained surgical sponge (gossypiboma) following abdominal or pelvic surgery with transmural migration within the bowel is an extremely rare clinical presentation...

The majority of the patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) are asymptomatic. The most common organ systems involved in PHPT are the kidneys and the skeletal system. In rare instances, acute or chronic pancreatitis may be presenting feature in PHPT patients. The association between these both diseases is still the topic of debate. Here, we put forth a case of a 52-year-old female with three episodes of pancreatitis in the last six months who was diagnosed with PHPT during the fourth episode of pancreatitis based on raised serum amylase and serum lipase levels along with ultrasonography (USG) findings of the abdomen...

BACKGROUND: Extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO) is a common cause of portal hypertension in India. AIMS: (1) To evaluate the clinical presentation and the natural history of EHPVO; (2) to describe the risk factors, rebleeding rates and development of portal biliopathy on follow-up; and requirement of surgery in EHPVO at a tertiary care center. METHODS: Data from 318 consecutive patients with EHPVO from June 2012 to October 2020 were analyzed...

A chest radiograph is the most common and the initial radiological investigation for evaluating a child presenting with respiratory complaints. However, performing and interpreting chest radiography optimally requires training and skill. With the relatively easy availability of computed tomography (CT) scanning and more recently multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), these investigations are often performed. Although these can be the cross-sectional imaging modalities of choice in certain situations where detailed and exact anatomical and etiological information is required, both these investigations are associated with increased radiation exposure which has more detrimental effects on children, especially when repeated follow-up imaging is necessary to assess the disease status...

Introduction Due to its ease of use, lack of ionizing radiation exposure, noninvasive nature, reproducibility, low cost, and ease of accessibility, ultrasound (US) is the preferred imaging modality for evaluating scrotal disease. High-resolution US and color Doppler better highlight scrotal and testicular diseases because of the scrotum's superficial anatomy. The genital organs are subjected to damaging ionizing radiation during CT, while MRI is both costly and uncommon. Aims and objectives The aim of this study is to use ultrasonography (USG) to examine various scrotal diseases and to diagnose and identify different disorders utilizing high-resolution US and color Doppler...

Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is the most common cause of hypercalcemia and currently the only definitive treatment is surgery. Although the success rate of parathyroidectomy is over 95% in experienced centers, surgical failure is the most common complication today. Persistent HPT (perHPT) is defined as persistence of hypercalcemia after parathyroidectomy or recurrence of hypercalcemia within the first 6 months, and recurrence of hypercalcemia after a normocalcemic period of more than 6 months is defined as recurrent HPT (recHPT)...

He has been admitted to the diabetes ward due to inadequate diabetes control. Gastroscopy and abdominal CT were performed, and gastroparesis was confirmed as an explanation for postprandial hypoglycemia. During hospitalization, the patient reported sudden pain localized on the lateral, distal part of his right thigh. The pain occurred at rest and was aggravated by movement...

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of ectopic functional endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It most commonly occurs in the pelvic organs, including the ovaries, ligaments of the uterus, and the pouch of Douglas. Extrapelvic implantation of endometrial tissue has also been reported in the literature. Extrapelvic endometriosis can be explained by lymphatic/vascular migration or mechanical transplantation of the tissue during surgery. Rectus abdominis muscle endometriosis is a rare phenomenon that usually presents with a palpable abdominal mass and cyclic pain...
