Study Design: A retrospective, comparative study. Objective: To determine the radiological behavior of the lumbar curve in selective fusions in premenarchal girls with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (Lenke 1 B/C). Methods: A retrospective, comparative study was conducted. Selective fusion was performed in 21 patients younger than 18 years. The patients were divided into 2 groups: group A, after menarche (n = 12) and group B, before menarche (n = 9). Angles (preoperative, and at 1 and 2 years postoperatively) of the fused thoracic curves and the corresponding lumbar curves were measured and compared. For statistical analysis, the t test was used with a significance level of P < .05. Results: Mean preoperative angle value of the proximal/main thoracic curve was 61° in group A and 57° in group B ( P = .44), and 21° and 20°, respectively, in the first year postoperatively ( P = .61). Mean preoperative angle value of the lumbar curve was 43° in group A and 42° in group B ( P = .87), while at 1 year after surgery, this curve was 19° in both groups ( P = 0.91), and at 2 years postoperatively, the curve was 16° in group A and 17° in group B ( P = .75). Conclusions: Over a 2-year follow-up, we did not find significant radiological differences in lumbar curves between patients who underwent surgery before and after menarche.

Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas represents around 6-36% of mucinous cystic neoplasm. The lesions are usually found in the body and tail of the pancreas and are generally solitary with a size range of 6-36 cm. We present a clinical case of a 63 years old patient with abdominal pain and weight loss. We used radiographic imaging studies.It was treated with surgery by distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy and transverse colectomy.Patient was not post operative complications.
