Porencephaly is a very unique rare neurological disease identified by the presence of single or multiple cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cyst inside the brain matter. This is an intra-cranial cyst that rarely occurs in adults. The diagnosis depends on a well-defined CSF fluid space-occupying lesion (SOL) that communicates with the ventricles on a CT scan or MRI of the brain. Cerebral damage during labor or as unknown trauma during infancy can present with porencephaly much later in life. This might be the aftermath of trauma, ischemic, infection or bleeding in the postnatal life. These cysts may be mild enough to show any symptoms or severe enough to cause mental and physical disability. Here we present a case of a 76-year-old female attended in the emergency department with loss of strength in her right arm, four days ago. Porencephaly in adult is a rare neurological disease case. In this case, porencephaly caused by stroke ischemic 4 years ago due to anterior carotid artery embolism.
<p>Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) adalah suatu penyakit infeksius yang disebabkan oleh spesies coronavirus, yaitu severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Kasus pertama diketahui di Wuhan, China pada Desember 2019, sebelum akhirnya menyebar ke seluruh dunia dan menjadi pandemi pada Maret 2020. Radiologi memiliki peranan penting dalam skrining dan diagnosis pneumonia pada umumnya, termasuk pneumonia COVID-19. Pemeriksaan radiologi CT-Scan toraks memiliki sensitivitas 71%; ada beberapa tanda khas dan bisa dibedakan dari penyakit paru lain. Pemeriksaan CT-Scan dapat berguna saat menunggu diagnosis laboratorium reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).</p><p>Coronavirus disease 2019 is an infectious disease caused by coronavirus species - severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The first known case was reported in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and became pandemic in March 2020. Radiology has an important role in screening and diagnosis of general pneumonia, including COVID-19 pneumonia. Thorax CT-scan examination has 71% sensitivity because several disease mimic COVID-19; but some specific appearance can differentiate with other lung diseases. CT-Scan may be useful while waiting for reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) result for definite diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia.</p>
<p>Tendintis kalsifik merupakan penyakit deposisi kristal kalsium hidroksiapatit di dalam atau di sekitar tendon. Etiologinya masih belum diketahui pasti. Deposisi kristal kalsium sering terjadi pada bagian rotator cuff tendon. Gejala bervariasi tergantung fase perjalanan penyakit, dapat self-limiting. Pengobatan lini utama adalah pengobatan oral, jika kurang berhasil dapat dilakukan tindakan invasif minimal. Prosedur barbotase dipandu ultrasonografi memungkinkan panduan radiologis saat memasukkan jarum suntik untuk aspirasi kristal kalsium hidroksiapatite. Prosedur barbotase dipandu ultrasonografi memiliki banyak keuntungan dan berhasil baik.</p><p>Calcific tendinitis is a disease of crystal deposition inside or around tendon. The etiology is still not known, it is often self-limiting. Most common site for calcific tendinitis is at rotator cuff tendon. Symptoms may depend on the phase of the disease. First-line medication is oral treatment, but some patients require minimal invasive treatment. Ultrasound-guided barbotage procedure allow guidance for needle aspiration of calcium hydroxyapatite crystal. The procedure has many advantage and provide good result.</p><p> </p>
This study aims to provide an overview of how to interpreting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study reviewed various sources then reviewed as a literature review. COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the coronavirus species, namely, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Radiology has an important role in screening and diagnosis of general pneumonia, including COVID-19 pneumonia. In some countries, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction result can take a long time while physician need to diagnose and treat patients as soon as possible. Chest X-ray and CT-scan can be done in short time that can help physician but there is a possibility that can mimic other diseases. Radiologist need to determine the imaging into the categorized characteristic in COVID-19.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
