    Notes: Abstract. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is a heart disease characterized by a total or partial fat replacement of the myocardium. A total of 30 patients were studied with a suspected diagnosis of ARVD. Clinical criteria used for evaluation of ARVD were: (a) ventricular origin arrhythmias with a left bundle branch block configuration, (b) T-wave inversion in the anterior precordial leads, (c) ventricular kinetic alterations observed using echocardiography and angiography and (d) cardiac failure when there are no pathologies attributable to other heart diseases. All patients had serial EKG and echocardiography tests. One third of patients underwent angiocardiography; 7 of 30 had Holter; 7 of 30 had exercise test just to evaluate the effectiveness of the anti-arrhythmic therapy. All patients underwent MRI examination. The following MRI criteria were used: (a) high-intensity areas indicating the fatty substitution of the myocardium, (b) ectasia of the right ventricular outflow tract, (c) dyskinetic bulges, (d) dilation of the right ventricle and (e) enlargement of the right atrium. The diagnosis of ARVD was classified as highly probable for patients manifesting at least three positive criteria, probable with two positive criteria, dubious with one and negative in the absence of all criteria. Highly probable diagnosis of ARVD was made in 8 patients, probable in 4, dubious in 7 and negative in 11. The MRI technique is very effective in the assessment of ARVD. The MRI criteria may be helpful in the diagnosis of this condition.

    Notes: Abstract. Bladder hamartoma is a rare benign entity with only eight cases reported in the literature thus far, and whose general imaging features have not, to our knowledge, been previously discussed. The purpose of this report is to review the literature and to discuss the imaging findings in one case of bladder hamartoma where US features were those of an inhomogeneous solid mass with an unechogenic center, which was in accordance with the CT findings of a soft tissue mass with central inhomogeneous enhancement due to central necrosis.

    Notes: Abstract. To our knowledge, four bacterial adrenal abscesses in adults have already been reported in the international literature, but an adrenal Nocardia abscess has never been described previously. In this report the CT and MR imaging appearances and the differential diagnosis of the entity are discussed. The mass could resemble a malignancy. The observation of a rapid growth and colliquation of the mass helped in distinguishing it from a malignancy. The associated pulmonary infection provided a further clue to the diagnosis. The diagnosis was confirmed by surgery.

    Notes: Abstract. A rare case of a 60-year-old man with a right aortic arch and aberrant left innominate artery is presented. This case had an unusual clinical presentation. The dysphagia appeared suddenly in adulthood, whereas vascular rings, when symptomatic, usually manifest early in childhood.To our knowledge, MR imaging findings of this anomaly have never been reported. The diagnosis was made by MR imaging and confirmed by surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging can replace angiography in the assessment of the aortic arch anomalies.

    Notes: Abstract This paper presents the case of a 36-year-old male with congenitally corrected transposition of great vessels (CTGV). This is a rare cardiac anomaly characterized by atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance, occuriing in less than 1% of all congenital heart diseases. This was diagnosed by echocardiography and MRI. The MRI findings demonstrated cardiac abnormality.

    Notes: Abstract. Computed tomography is an accurate method of identifying the various types of abdominal wall hernias, especially if they are clinically occult, and of distinguishing them from other diseases such as hematomas, abscesses and neoplasia. In this study we examined the CT images of 94 patients affected by abdominal wall hernias observed over a period of 6 years. Computed tomography clearly demonstrates the anatomical site of the hernial sac, the content and any occlusive bowel complications due to incarceration or strangulation. Clinical diagnosis of external hernias is particularly difficult in obese patients or in those with laparotic scars. In these cases abdominal imaging is essential for a correct preoperative diagnosis and to determine the most effective treatment.

    Notes: Abstract. The blood-ocular barrier (BOB) shares similar neuroepithelial origin, microanatomy and functions with the blood-brain barrier. There are many natural (e. g. diabetes, hypertension) or iatrogenic (chemotherapy, retinal photocoagulation) conditions which can cause a BOB breakdown, resulting in visual acuity impairment or loss. The authors examined 42 patients affected by BOB damage in different pathological conditions. All patients previously underwent a conventional fluoroangiographic (FA) study. Nine patients with normal FA exam were evaluated also. Despite normal MRI findings immediately after Gd-DTPA injection, contrast leakage into the vitreous body or into the aqueous fluid was demonstrated in delayed scans (40–50 min after contrast administration), proving the existence of a BOB damage (sensitively 94 %). Although FA exam remains the choice modality in BOB breakdown demonstration, we propose MRI as a useful diagnostic tool when optic media opacity (cataract, haemovitreous, intraocular silicon oil) occurs, preventing direct retinal fundus imaging and/or an early screening tool.

    Notes: Abstract We report a 23-year-old man who attempted suicide by hanging. There have been few reports of involvement of the brain parenchyma shown on CT, all showing ischaemic lesions. This is the first report of multifocal intracerebral haematomas due to hanging seen¶on CT.
