Secondary Craniosynostosis and Elevated Intracranial Pressure with Functioning Shunt: An Imaging Report

1. Abstract A ten-year-old female pediatric patient with a history of congenital hydrocephalus and ventriculoperitoneal shunt was diagnosed with slit ventricle syndrome and severe craniosynostosis. After initial endoscopic third ventriculostomy failed, the patient underwent cranial expansion, multiple craniectomies, replacement of VP shunt and placement of an Intracranial Pressure (ICP) monitor and cranial vault reconstruction. Below

Hypophosphatasia: Another Possible Cause of Periarticular Swelling?

1. Introduction Hypophosphatasia is a rare genetic metabolic disease caused by mutations of the ALPL gene, which encodes the tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). The most important HPP’s biochemical marker are a low activity of the serum ALP, high urine PEA and serum pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) [1]. The HPP onset can occur at any age

Diffuse Osteolytic Metastases of Prostate Adenocarcinoma

1. Clinical Image A 52-year-old man presented with a 2-month history of low back pain. Computed tomography (CT) of thoracolumbar spine showed diffuse osteolytic bone metastases (Figure 1). Physical examination revealed a digital rectal exam compatible with frozen pelvis. His prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was 4935 ng/ml. A prostate biopsy was done, and the subsequent histology
