Two cases of fibrous dysplasia involving the middle nasal turbinate are presented. Fibrous dysplasia is a common benign fibro-osseous disease involving the flat bones, often affecting the bony structures of the skull and facial skeleton. Primary occurrence or secondary involvement of the nasal turbinate is not a common manifestation of the disease. Involvement of the inferior turbinate generally does not have specific management-related issues; however, involvement of the middle turbinate, especially the lateral lamella, can predispose to surgical morbidity during endoscopic surgical management. Clinical presentation, management and features of the disease on CT imaging are presented.

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic infection caused by the Leptospira interrogans. Although it is endemic in tropical countries, global incidence has increased in several temperate and developed regions. Here, we present a cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and multidetector computer tomography (MDCT) chest features of active systemic leptospiral infection in a 19-year-old male. The MDCT appearances of lungs and CMR appearances of myocardium in icteric leptospirosis are described. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is important to manage the cardiothoracic complications.
