Ganglion cyst

It was April 4th, and as I looked into the blinding lights over my head, I anxiously waited for the anesthetics to take hold of me. The sooner I’m knocked out, the sooner I’ll wake up, and the sooner I can get out of here. I blinked and realized that the masked men above me had begun to spin in and out of eyesight, so I allowed the drugs to sweep me away as I tried to hold on to the vision of friends, and track meets, and the sweet sixteen soon to come. I vaguely wondered if my sisters had…

Introduction Pelvic pain can result from disorders of the gastrointestinal, urinary, or reproductive systems. Diagnosing the etiology of pain can be difficult, and clinical and laboratory evaluation is often not sufficient. In pediatrics, ultrasonography (US) is generally the primary imaging modality used in the initial evaluation of pelvic pain, with radiographs and cross-sectional imaging reserved for further work-up or specific indications. In pelvic emergencies, radiological findings…

Diagnosing correctly is important for treatment to be fully effective. Common disease are carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis, and ganglion cysts. “Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition where the median nerve is compressed where it passes through a short tunnel at the wrist” (The British Society for Surgery of the Hand). It has been found more in women than in men causing a weakness…

DOI: 4/25/2016. The patient is a 43-year-old right-hand dominant female housekeeper/maintenance worker who sustained a work-related injury alleging a repetitive injury to both wrists. Electromyography/nerve conduction studies of the upper extremities dated 05/17/2016 demonstrated moderate right sensorimotor median nerve neuropathy at the wrist consistent with carpal tunnel syndrome. There is also mild left carpal tunnel syndrome. There is no evidence of cervical radiculopathy at this time. Per…

Endocrinopathies such as these lead to dysregulation of body temperature and sleep cycles (Garcia-Filion). Neurological disorders include septo-optic dysplasia, anencephaly, cerebral atrophy, basal encephaloceles, corpus collosum hypoplasia, gyrus dysplasia, cysts in the posterior fossa and tumors or lesions disrupting the anterior visual pathway – all of which may contribute to cerebral palsy, autism, or other delays in normal development (Kaur et al,…

asymptomatic or they may complain of itching, pain, paresthesia and the need to restrict the choice of footwear. These are the same symptoms as for other foot lumps. However, these are pulsatile. A painful aneurysm may be more likely to rupture. A ganglion cyst or other lesion could also present as a pulsatile mass if it were adjacent to the artery. It is not advisable to attempt a needle aspiration of a pulsatile mass, because bleeding or other complications might…

The major pitfalls in MR imaging of knee are due to anatomic variants and artefacts, especially partial volume effects. ( 40 ) Understanding the basic MR imaging principles, applying the correct technique, knowing the normal anatomy and variants, recognizing artifacts, and assuring good clinical and radiographic correlation helps avoid these potential pitfalls. ( 41 ) MR IMAGING ARTIFACTS: They are defined as either any signal or void in the images that does not have an…
