Recent advances in the field of radiomics have enabled the development of a number of prognostic and predictive imaging-based tools for a variety of diseases. However, wider clinical adoption of these tools is contingent on their generalizability…

Morphea is an inflammatory, sclerosing skin disorder that can involve the underlying soft tissues. Although the cause of morphea remains poorly investigated, genetic predisposition, immune dysregulation, and environmental factors have been…

Cloacal exstrophy is the most severe and rare form of the exstrophy-epispadias complex, presenting with exposed bladder halves extruding through an abdominal wall defect and variable genitourinary, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and neurological…

Littoral cell angioma (LCA) is an extremely rare primary splenic tumor. There are few MRI and scintigraphic characteristics described. These characteristics may be most helpful in differentiating LCA from other primary vascular tumors. We present a…

We report a patient who had recurrence of stroke in the basilar artery territory because of repeat thrombosis, and was administered intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV-rtPA) twice within a span of 3 weeks without any adverse…

BACKGROUND: Lymphangiomatosis is a disease characterized by involvement of various body constituents and can involve the skeletal system, connective tissues, and visceral organs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We present a case of a

The limited soft-tissue envelope technique for an uninstrumented single-level posterolateral lumbar fusion has been studied in a group of 23 patients. It resulted in a solid fusion in 21 of 23 (91%) patients. Overall, 18 of 23 (78%) patients had a…

STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective review was completed on 21 patients who had a "least invasive" (one or two level) microdecompression and uninstrumented single-segment lumbar fusion for spinal canal stenosis with degenerative spondylolisthesis.…

Otosclerosis often occurs as a unilateral mixed or conductive hearing loss. In the absence of retrocochlear findings, otologists usually do not pursue further diagnostic testing. A patient who presented to the Warren Otologic Group with a unilateral…

Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) is an imaging modality that shows promise in the detection and characterization of renal masses, as well as treatment through CEUS-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation. These techniques may be…

Patients with spinal epidural abscesses (SEAs) may have a variable presentation. Such an infection has a typical appearance on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and enhances with gadolinium. We present a case that was a diagnostic challenge where pre-…

STUDY DESIGN: A technique for lumbar decompression using spinous process osteotomies is described, and the outcomes are studied prospectively. OBJECTIVE: To describe a technique that affords a wide exposure for decompression while minimizing damage…

The external fixator has been in use for more than a century. Wutzer (1789-1863) used pins and an interconnecting rod-and-clamp system. Parkhill (1897) and Lambotte (1900) used devices that were unilateral with four pins and a bar-clamp system. By…
