An unusual case with a missing parotid gland: A case report
We present a case of a 4-year-old female child who presented with complaints of slight discoloration of her tongue and was referred for MRI to rule out any vascular malformation. Imaging revealed a complete absence of the right parotid gland. Hypertrophy of the sublingual gland and hypoplasia of the parotid gland on the opposite side was also noted, an unusual finding as the contralateral parotid showed compensatory hypertrophy in the other reported cases.

Pseudotumor deltoideus: An underreported and misinterpreted cause of shoulder pain
Surbhi Singh, Akhil TanwarIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2020 30(2):233-236 Pseudotumor deltoideus refers to focal cortical irregularity and thickening at the deltoid insertion. It is benign in nature with a possible role as a tumor stimulator and possesses various anatomic variations. A well-defined area of cortical irregularity and radiological lucency at the deltoid insertion are uncommon radiological findings that pose a diagnostic dilemma. In this case report, we demonstrate a 45-year-old male with right shoulder pain along with radiological images indicative of the condition to make this previously less dis...

Anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-positive coursing with optic neuritis: Imaging and clinical implications
Nithisha Thatikonda, Juan Gomez, Eduardo Gonazalez ToledoIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2020 30(2):222-224 A 9-year-old boy was admitted to our institution with acute onset of bilateral blurry vision. Physical examination revealed bilateral papilledema. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis and comprehensive metabolic panel were normal. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain showed extensive bilateral optic nerve inflammation with post-contrast gadolinium enhancement on T1-weighted sequence. The involvement was limited to the anterior segments of the optic nerves sparing chiasma and optic tracts. Anti-aquaporin-4 a...

Isoniazid: A rare drug-induced cause for bilateral dentate nuclei hyperintensity
S Senthil Raj Kumar, S Shanmuga Jayanthan, G RupeshIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2020 30(2):218-221 Dentate nucleus, the largest deep nucleus of the cerebellum, is affected by numerous conditions, including leukodystrophies, toxins, drugs, infections, and various metabolic and inflammatory conditions. This case report is a drug-induced cerebellitis, caused by isoniazid (INH), characterized in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as bilateral dentate nuclei hyperintensity. Isoniazid, an antituberculosis therapy (ATT) drug, is both neurotoxic and hepatotoxic but cerebellitis is a rare complication. INH-induced cerebel...

Microwave ablation: How we do it ?
Kunal B Gala, Nitin S Shetty, Paresh Patel, Suyash S KulkarniIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2020 30(2):206-213 Minimally invasive techniques such as Image guided thermal ablation are now widely used in the treatment of tumors. Microwave ablation (MWA) is one of the newer modality of thermal ablation and has proven its safety and efficacy in the management of the tumors amenable for ablation for primary and metastatic diseases. It is used in the treatment of primary and secondary liver malignancies, primary and secondary lung malignancies, renal and adrenal tumors and bone metastases. We wanted to share our initia...

Phakomatoses: A pictorial review
M Sarthak Swarup, Swati Gupta, Sapna Singh, Anjali Prakash, Anurag Mehndiratta, Anju GargIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2020 30(2):195-205 Phakomatoses or Neurocutaneous syndromes are a heterogeneous group of disorders and have variable inheritance pattern. Currently, more than 30 entities are included in this group. These disorders primarily affect the central nervous system; however, skin, viscera, and other connective tissues can also be involved with variable clinical presentation. We will describe and illustrate the various radiological findings of the common entities through the iconography of the cases pre...

MRI evaluation of soft tissue vascular malformations
Conclusion: MRI is the modality of choice for evaluating the soft tissue vascular malformations. It depicts the extent of the lesion, classifies the lesions into low or high flow and helps in treatment planning. (Source: Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging)

Low incidence of vascular uptake during ganglion impar sympathetic nerve blocks for coccydynia
Conclusions: Vascular uptake incidence is low during ganglion impar blocks. This information can be one of the multiple factors considered when a physician is deciding whether or not to use contrast in an individual patient. (Source: Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging)

Determining the normal effective diameter of thoracic aorta in pediatric population of India
Conclusions: We have established normative effective diameters of the thoracic aorta at multiple levels in Indian children of different age groups. Measurements outside of the normal ranges are indicators of ectasia, aneurysm, hypoplasia, or stenosis. (Source: Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging)

Correlation of asthma severity, IgE level, and spirometry results with HRCT findings in allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
Conclusions: Asthma severity, specific IgE level, and MEF values showed a good correlation with HRCT findings. The restrictive pattern is common on spirometry in patients of ABPA. In addition to central bronchiectasis, peripheral bronchial and small airway involvement was an important finding in ABPA. Expiratory HRCT may reveal air trapping in patients having no abnormality on inspiratory CT. (Source: Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging)
