Severe left internal carotid artery stenosis:
This patient has the right hemiplegia following a cerebrovascular accident involving the left parietal lobe. Color Doppler imaging of the carotid tree shows severe stenosis, 80 to 90%, involving the left internal carotid artery close to its origin from the common carotid artery.The colour Doppler image below shows the internal diameter of the left internal carotid artery is less than 3 mm near its origin. This is definitely abnormal and shows severe stenosis.spectral Doppler trace of the left common carotid artery appears relatively normal.however, the left internal carotid artery shows a definite evidence of severe stenos...

A case of painful left scrotal mass
This middle aged male patient has a left scrotal mass which is tender and painful. What do you opine?The mass showed plenty of mobile particulate matter and is located on the upper pole of the left testis.Answer: this is a case of left scrotal abscess with the purulent collection being within the left tunica vaginalis sac. Aetiology of this left scrotal collection appears to be tuberculous in origin. This can explain the lack of significant vascularity within the left scrotum and the left testes.See similar lesions at:http://www.ultrasound-images.com/scrotal-infections.htm (Source: cochinblogs)

Quiz- fetal kidneys in 34 weeks pregnancy
What do you opine on this 34 week old fetus? Specifically, what is your diagnosis on observing the ultrasound images of the fetal kidneys?The answer: this fetus shows bilateral enlarged echogenic kidneys which form a major part of the volume of the abdomen. Minute cystic areas are also seen within the kidneys of this fetus if one scrutinises the images carefully. These findings are consistent with a diagnosis of autosomal recessive polycystic kidneys of the fetus.For more on this visit: http://www.ultrasound-images.com/fetal-urogenital.htm#Fetal_polycystic_kidneys_%28autosomal_recessive_polycystic_kidney_disease-_ARPKD%29 ...
