Pelvic Soft Tissue Aggressive Angiomyxoma
Teaching Point: Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare and benign soft tissue lesion, characterized by a “whorled” or “layering” appearance on T2-weighted and post-gadolinium magnetic resonance. Published on 2020-09-18 12:32:49 (Source: Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology)

Medial Epicondyle Avulsion Fracture with Joint Entrapment in Children
Teaching point: The mnemonic CRITOE is a must-know that describes the sequence of elbow ossification center appearance and stands for capitellum, radial head, internal epicondyle, trochlea, olecranon and external epicondyle.

Giant Frontal Paranasal Mucocele: Case Report and Review of the Literature
This article reports a giant mucocele of the frontal sinus and reviews the literature. Important imaging clues pointing toward the diagnosis of a mucocele on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are a well-defined expansile mass, an intimate relationship with the frontal sinus, subtle peripheral rim enhancement, and slow progression on serial imaging. The density on CT and signal on MRI may vary along with the lesion content. The potential role of diffusion-weighted imaging should be elaborated in future reports.

Outcome of Percutaneous Intervention in Dysfunctional Loop versus Straight Arteriovenous Grafts in Hemodialysis Patients
Conclusion: Our study suggests there is no different patency outcome between straight and loop arteriovenous grafts after PTA. Published on 2020-09-09 11:54:06 (Source: Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology)

Moyamoya Disease Revealed by Ruptured Intraventricular Aneurysm
Teaching point: Narrowing and occlusion of the distal carotids in Moyamoya causes a change in blood flow dynamics, increasing the risk for intracranial aneurysm formation. Published on 2020-09-09 11:59:41 (Source: Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology)

Early Chest Imaging in Patients with Puumala Hantavirus Infection
Conclusions: Early CRX commonly showed linear atelectasis and small pleural effusion in Puumala virus infected patients above 30 years of age. Chest HRCT most frequently showed atelectasis and smooth interlobular septal thickening. While uncommon, early and severe pulmonary involvement can be associated with Puumala virus infection, albeit these findings are not specific.

Juvenile Fibroadenoma in a Four-Month-Old Male Infant
Teaching point: As juvenile fibroadenoma is radiologically indistinguishable from a (malignant) phyllodes tumor, a core biopsy is decisive for both treatment and follow-up. Published on 2020-07-22 13:02:22 (Source: Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology)

A Retrospective Comparison of ACL Tear and Mucoid Degeneration MRI Findings and an Emphasis on Evaluating of ACL, Blumensaat, and PCL Angles
Conclusion: A celery stalk appearance in the mucoid degeneration and discontinuity in an ACL tear are important in the differential diagnosis. ACL, Blumensaat, and PCL angles can be helpful in settings of diagnostic uncertainty. Published on 2020-07-03 09:55:04 (Source: Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology)
