Zika virus (ZIKV) infection acquired during pregnancy is associated with congenital microcephaly. We describe 2 cases of ZIKV infection in women in their 36th week of pregnancy whose fetuses had preserved head circumference at birth and findings of subependymal cysts and lenticulostriate vasculopathy in postnatal imaging. These represent the first signs of congenital brain injury acquired due to ZIKV in the third trimester.

chest, abdomen and pelvis staging scan; 3/11 scans reported pelvic metastases. The remaining 55 patients did not have pelvic imaging prior to PET. Overall radiation exposure and costs were calculated; routine imaging of the pelvis during staging CT could result in an 18% increase in radiation exposure to the population and a 2% reduction in overall cost if subsequent PET imaging decreased by 4%. Conclusion: Trust imaging protocols for CT staging of suspected lung cancer vary with regard to inclusion of the pelvis. Pelvic metastases from primary lung cancer are an uncommon finding on PET-CT scans (4%). CT chest and abdomen scans are sufficient for staging lung cancer given the low incidence of pelvic metastases and significant radiation exposure associated with pelvic imaging.
