Answer 12

There is an expansile lesion in the proximal humerus at the metadiaphysis. No pathologic fracture is seen. There are no findings of osteoid or chondroid matrix. The most likely diagnosis is an aneurysmal bone cyst, which is typically found in patients younger than 20 years of age in the long bones at the metadiaphysis. As in this case, radiographs will demonstrate a sharply defined expansile lesion with sclerotic margins. This MRI demonstrates a T1-bright, multicystic structure in the proximal humerus with multiple fluid-fluid levels and no enhancing soft-tissue components, confirming the diagnosis of an aneurysmal bone cyst. cHONDROBLASTOM, gIANT CELL TUMOUR, OSTEO BLASTOMA AND FIBROUIS DYSPLASIA can be seen with aneurysmal bone cysts except intraosseous lipomas. Intraosseous lipoma does not have ABC formation

Answer 19

There is a polypoid mass in the bladder. The grape-like appearance is characteristic of the botryoid type of rhabdomyosarcoma. Rhabdomyosarcomas are the most common malignant bladder masses in the pediatric population. Paragangliomas of the bladder may have a similar appearance with a macrolobulated appearance and T2-hyperintense signal, but they are more often seen in patients ages 30 to 60. Hemangiomas are often seen in the setting of other vascular malformations and are similar in appearance to hemangiomas seen elsewhere. Cystitis glandularis may present as nodules on a background of diffuse bladder wall thickening. Bladder neurofibromas are rare and may demonstrate a target appearance on T2-weighted imaging, with central low signal and peripheral high signal.

Answer 20

* formed by the vertical cortex of the ilium and the triangular labral fibrocartilages (echogenic triangle). * The normal value is less than 77 degrees, but is only useful in assessing immature hips when combined with the alpha angle. * There is a great deal of variability in the beta angle (much more than the alpha angle), and as such, it is not universally used. * In some instances, the beta angle is necessary to determine the subtype of hip dysplasia (e.g. type Ia vs. Ib, or type IIc vs. type D - see the sonographic classification of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)). The cut off beta angle depends on type 3.

Thru the umbilicus, travel inferiorly thru the umbilical artery, then int hte anterior division of the internal iliac artery, into the common iliac artery and then into the aorta. Tip position should either be: 1/ high at the T6 - T10 level or in the 2/low position L3/L5. Intermediate positions are generally undersirable due to potential associated throboosies of major aortic branches between T10 to L3.

Answer 59

* Gliomas * astrocytomas * ependymomas * Medulloblastoma * Retinoblastoma * heritable form * Non-heritable (unilateral) * There is a lobulated mass within the right globe that is T1-hyperintense and heterogeneously T2-hypointense relative to vitreous fluid, and which displays restricted diffusion and contrast enhancement. There is retinal detachment with associated hemorrhage, resulting in a fluid/fluid level in the right globe seen on the T2-weighted images. Retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular childhood malignancy, with a median presentation of 12 months. It can be sporadic (approximately 60% of cases), which requires two spontaneous mutations of the retinoblastoma protein tumor suppressor gene (RB), or it can be familial, due to a single spontaneous mutation in combination with an inherited germline mutation. Retinoblastomas appear as mixed calcified and noncalcified soft-tissue intraocular masses. CT and ultrasound are good for depicting intralesional calcifications. On MRI, they will appear as a T1-hyperintense, T2-hypointense mass relative to vitreous fluid. Retinoblastomas will restrict on diffusion imaging given that they have a high cellular content as they fall within the class of small blue round cell tumors. The contralateral globe, pineal region, and suprasellar regions need to be carefully evaluated for the presence of additional sites of disease. Coats disease is characterized by progressive retinal detachment by exudative sub retinal collections and is not typically associated with enhancement, restricted diffusion or calcification. A coloboma is congenital malformation characterize by failure of closure of the choroidal fissure and is seen as a small globe with a posterior defect with vitreous herniation. Astrocytic hamartomas are benign retinal tumors associated with tuberous sclerosis. Retinopathy of prematurity is found in premature infants and seen as vascular proliferation with asymmetrically small globes. * DNET * dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour

## Footnote CT demonstrates extensive periventricular calcifications. Periventricular calcifications are most characteristic of CMV, which is the most common TORCH infection. Polymicrogyria also may occur. Toxoplasmosis calcifications of the basal ganglia with hydrocephalus. Rubella demonstrates ischemia with high T2 signal on MRI. HSV may result in hemorrhagic infarct, with resulting encephalomalacia. HIV also results in atrophy, predominantly in a frontal distribution.

Answer 61

Minimally or undisplaced spiral fracture, usually of the tibia. Does not include spiral femoral fracutes, which should raise suspicion of NAI. Typically occur between 9months and 3 years, result of new stress placed on the bone dure to recent and increasing ambulation.
