The characterisitic CT finding in the area encircled is seen in?

a. Pseudomembranous colitis
b. Crohns disease
c. Ulcerative colitis
d. Intussussception
Solution. 1)A
The accordion sign is seen on CT examinations of the abdomen and refers to the similarity between the thickened oedematous wall of
pseudomembranous colitisto that of an accordion.The appearance arises as a result of oral contrast being trapped between oedematous
haustral folds and pseudomembranes formed on the surface of the colon.
See the image of the actual accordion below:

EXTRA EDGE(Ref: Robbins 8th edition)


Some important points on pseudomembranous colitis from Robbins 8th edition are given below:
i)Pseudomembranous colitis, generally caused by Clostridium difficile is also known as antibiotic-associated colitis or antibioticassociated diarrhea
ii)Although almost any antibiotic may be responsible, third-generation cephalosporins are implicated most frequently.

The typical MRI appearance shown below is seen in?

a. HallervordenSpatz disease
b. Multiple System Atrophy-c
c. Multiple System Atrophy-p
d. Wilsons disease
Solution. 3)HOT CROSS BUN sign in MRI is seen in Multiple System Atrophy-c.
Multiple System Atrophy-c means cerebellar features predominate
Multiple System Atrophy-p means extrapyramidal features predominate
The hot cross bun sign is seen on transverse T2-weighted magnetic resonance images of the brain as a cruciform hyperintensity in the
pons . The sign is due to a selective loss of myelinated transverse pontocerebellarfibers and neurons in the pontine raphe with
preservation of the pontinetegmentum and corticospinal tracts.
Tiger eye appearance in MRI is seen in-HallervordenSpatz disease
Face of Giant Panda sign in MRI is seen in-Wilsons disease

EXTRA EDGE(Ref:Sabiston 18th edition)
Perianal disease is an uncommon finding in patients with Ulcerative colitis, whereas it may be the only presenting symptom of Crohn's
disease. It is an interesting and seemingly paradoxical fact that rectal involvement is present in virtually 100% of patients with
Ulcerative Colitis, whereas anal involvement is very rare. In contrast, patients with Crohn's disease may have normal rectal mucosa (socalled rectal sparing), although anal disease (fissures, fistulas, abscesses) is common

7/97

a. Rickets
b. Scurvy
c. Lead poisoning
d. Achondroplasia
Solution. 5)B
The important radiological findings in Scurvy are illustrated below

Wimberger's ring sign: Circular, opaque radiologic shadow surrounding epiphyseal centers of ossification, which may result from
bleeding
Frankel's line: Dense zone of provisional calcification
Trummerfeld zone: Lucent metaphyseal band underlying Frankel's line
Pelken spur: Metaphyseal spurs which result in cupping of the metaphysis
EXTRA EDGE(Nelson 19th edition)
Scurvy cannot be diagnosed with certainty from the radiograph until a zone of rarefaction under the white line at the metaphysis
becomes apparent.
Subperiostealhemorrhages are not visible radiographically during the active phase of scurvy. During healing, however, the elevated
periosteum becomes calcified and the affected bone assumes a dumbbell or club shape.
