Ethyl chloride spray for musculoskeletal ultrasound ‐guided injections: An alternative to subcutaneous injection of local anesthetic solution
Abstract
Ultrasound‐guided injections such as steroid injections are common procedures involving the musculoskeletal system. They are usually performed after a subcutaneous injection of local anesthetic (LA), which can be painful. In 126 consecutive patients, local anesthesia was performed using ethyl chloride spray prior to a therapeutic ultrasound‐guided injection in joints, tendons, or bursae. Ninety‐nine (78.5%) patients found the use of ethyl chloride spray helpful. The use of ethyl chloride spray is an effective, patient‐friendly alternative to the standard injection of local aesthetic for ultrasound‐guided...

Intracranial fetus ‐in‐fetu with numerous fully developed organs
This study prenatally demonstrated triplet FIFs at 31 weeks within amniotic‐like sac in the fetal skull, consisting of multiple well‐defined organs. The FIF attached to the host twin via body stalk containing a single main feeding artery and vein, representing umbilical vessels. Surgical removal was performed at the age of two months. Pathological examination showed the triplet FIF, consisting of numerous well‐developed organs (musculocutaneous‐skeletal, nervous, respiratory, gastrointestinal systems etc.), with soft tissue/skin coverings, but no vertebral body was seen. Molecular genetic analysis revealed identica...

Shoulder joint synovial chondromatosis presenting as multiple axillary masses: A case report
We describe the case of a patient who initially presented with multiple axillary masses. Breast ultrasound (US) was requested due to the concern of a breast tumor with axillary lymph node metastases. US study was helpful and provided adequate information to suggest the diagnosis. (Source: Journal of Clinical Ultrasound)

Ultrasound ‐guided reduction of an incarcerated obturator hernia in an elderly patient
We report the case of an 86‐year‐old woman, in whom an early diagnosis of incarcerated obturator hernia was made with subsequent reduction by compression with an ultrasound transducer. When the risk of strangulation is presumed to be low, ultrasound‐guided reduction of an obturator hernia is achievable and worth considering. (Source: Journal of Clinical Ultrasound)

Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava presenting as a cardiac mass
We report the case of a 53‐year‐old woman admitted to the intensive care unit because of progressive dyspnea with lower limb edema. Echocardiography demonstrated a large mass in the RA. At open‐heart surgery, the tumor appeared located in the IVC infrahepatic segment, completely obstructing the lumen and extending into the suprahepatic portion and the RA. Histopathological examination concluded to LMS. (Source: Journal of Clinical Ultrasound)

Late ‐onset type I endoleak characterized by contrast enhanced ultrasound after endovascular repair of aortic aneurysm
We report in the case of a patient with an intra‐abdominal aortic aneurysm treated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) who developed renal impairment during the period of follow up. The repair was complicated with an early‐onset type II endoleak which later evolved into a late‐onset type I endoleak. It was treated with proximal extension of stent graft, with treatment success and follow‐up documented on contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). This case illustrates the usefulness of CEUS in post‐EVAR surveillance and emphasizes the need for life‐long monitoring as late‐onset complications are not uncommon. (...

Sonographically guided insertion of intrauterine device: Indications and results
Abstract
From 2011 to 2015, a total of 67 patients were referred for IUD insertion guided with transabdominal sonography (TAS). Fifty‐six of the 67 patients had successful IUD insertion under TAS guidance. The clinical indications for referral included fibroids, uterine position, previous history of IUD expulsion, and limited tolerance of pelvic examination. Reasons for failed TAS‐guided IUD insertion included patient discomfort, cervical stenosis, and inability to remove and replace an existing device. Ultrasound guidance could help broaden the patient population that may benefit from the therapeutic value of an IUD. ...

A case of retroperitoneal para ‐aortic ectopic pregnancy detected by sonography
We present a case of a retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy with a gestational sac located to the left of the abdominal aorta and of the left renal vessels at 9 weeks of gestation. Careful transabdominal sonographic examination is suggested when an ectopic pregnancy is suspected and the examination of the pelvis is negative. (Source: Journal of Clinical Ultrasound)
