Teaching Point: A posterior tibial lip fracture is a rare avulsion fracture at the tibial insertion of the posterior tibiofibular ligament that causes significant ankle instability and often requires surgical intervention.

Liver Abscess Complicated with an Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors have a wide spectrum of biological behaviour and are composed of inflammatory cells and myofibroblastic spindle cells. Tumors may infrequently involve the liver. Imaging findings are non-specific.Teaching Point: Radiologists should be familiar with inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors as a diagnostic consideration to avoid unnecessary surgery.

Cystic Dystrophy of the Duodenal Wall with Underlying Heterotopic Pancreas
Teaching Point: Cystic dystrophy of the duodenal wall is often associated with underlying heterotopic pancreas and easily assessed with advanced and noninvasive imaging modalities such as CT scan and MRCP. Published on 2022-09-20 11:45:35 (Source: Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology)

Bacteraemia and Associated Complications on Imaging as a Clue to Colorectal Malignancy
We present a case of a patient with complications of this septicaemia associated with a rectal ad enocarcinoma, as an example of this important radiological and clinical correlation.Teaching Point: Always screen for primary colorectal malignancy in a patient with malignancy-associated bacterial infection.

A Rare Case of Cemento-Ossifying Fibroma of the Maxilla
Teaching Point: Cemento-ossifying fibromas are rare, benign tumours that are mostly found in the tooth-bearing areas of the mandible or maxilla and can be seen on cone-beam computed tomography. Published on 2022-09-13 11:09:13 (Source: Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology)

The Application of Contrast-Enhanced 3D-STIR-VISTA MR Imaging of the Brachial Plexus
Conclusion: The 3D-STIR-VISTA sequence with contrast agent is qualitatively and quantitatively superior to that without a contrast agent. The contrast-enhanced 3D-STIR-VISTA sequence can provide distinct visualization of the brachial plexus and enhance the contrast between the brachial plexus and surrounding tissues.

COVID-19 Pneumonia Presenting with Multiple Nodules Mimicking Metastases: An Atypical Case
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an outbreak causing pneumonia due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and computed tomography (CT) images are a significant part of the diagnosis of COVID-19 related pneumonia. Typical chest CT findings are bilateral peripheral ground-glass opacities (GGO) with or without consolidation. Although rare, atypical CT findings have been described, no case of COVID-19 causing multiple solid pulmonary nodules has been reported. In this article, atypical CT findings of a 45-year-old female patient with multiple solid pulmonary nodules mimicking metastasis diagnosed...

MR Imaging of Migrated Nucleus Pulposus after Collagenase Injection of Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Case Report
Magnetic resonance images (MRI) of migrated nucleus pulposus after collagenase treatment of lumbar disc herniation are rarely published. Here, we describe a 65-year-old woman with L5-S1 intervertebral disc herniation on the rear left. The patient was treated with a lumbar disc collagenase injection, and the pain was relieved. Two weeks later, the patient suddenly developed pain again after engaging in weight-bearing activity. Lumbar MRI showed a nodule in the spinal canal at the L5-S1 level. The patient underwent surgical treatment two days later. Pathology showed that the nodule was nucleus pulposus tissue.Teaching point:...

Splenic Injury Following Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography – A Role for Angioembolization
Teaching Point: Splenic injury is an uncommon complication after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), requiring a high degree of suspicion in a patient who develops abdominal pain and/or hypotension after ERCP; in the appropriately selected patient splenic angioembolization can be the first-line treatment option.

Vas Deferens Abscess Rupture: A Case Report
A vas deferens abscess is a very rare complication of acute vasitis and lower urinary tract infection. A case of vas deferens rupture due to an abscess with severe pelvic inflammation requiring surgical drainage is reported.Teaching Point: Vas deferens abscess rupture is an example of a very rare complication of severe inflammation of the vas deferens.

Ultrasound of Lipomatosis of Nerve Associated with Macrodactyly: ‘Spaghetti and Chocolate Cookie’ Appearance
We studied the US imaging findings of lipomatosis of nerve and macrodystrophia lipoma in three patients.Three patients were seen at three affiliated institutions with an enlarged digit. They all underwent US, subsequently followed by an MRI study.The nerves showed marked enlargement and extension over a length of 9 –16 cm. Digital branches were always involved. The appearance on cross section was an enlarged hyperechoic endoneurium with inlying thickened and hypoechoic fascicles. On transverse images this resulted in a ‘chocolate cookie’ aspect and in the long axis a ‘spaghetti-like’ image.The US appearance of li...

Long-Term Outcome of Single-Session, Ultrasound-Guided, Radiofrequency Ablation for Symptomatic Small, Lower Limb, Venous Malformations
Conclusion: Percutaneous, ultrasound-guided RFA is relatively safe and efficient with durable symptom relief in the management of small, lower limb VMs in adolescent patients. Published on 2022-07-13 11:50:31 (Source: Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology)

Comparison of Initial CT Findings and CO-RADS Stage in COVID-19 Patients with PCR, Inflammation and Coagulation Parameters in Diagnostic and Prognostic Perspectives
Conclusion: Performing only the RT-PCR test in the initial evaluation of patients in SARS-CoV-2 infection may lead to overlooking groups that are more at risk for severe disease. The use of a chest CT to perform CO-RADS staging would be beneficial in terms of providing both diagnostic and prognostic information.

Granulomatous Prostatitis Mimicking Invasive Prostate Cancer
Teaching Point: Benign granulomatous prostatitis mimics prostate cancer on MRI. Peculiar urological history of a patient undergoing prostate MRI helps sorting out that differential, such as a treatment with topic Bacilli Calmette-Guerin instillations.
