The apical surface of mouse urothelium is covered by two-dimensional crystals (plaques) of uroplakin (UP) particles. To study uroplakin function, we ablated the mouse UPII gene. A comparison of the phenotypes of UPII- and UPIII-deficient mice yielded new insights into the mechanism of plaque formation and some fundamental features of urothelial differentiation. Although UPIII knockout yielded small plaques, UPII knockout abolished plaque formation, indicating that both uroplakin heterodimers (UPIa/II and UPIb/III or IIIb) are required for plaque assembly. Both knockouts had elevated UPIb gene expression, suggesting that this is a general response to defective plaque assembly. Both knockouts also had small superficial cells, suggesting that continued fusion of uroplakin-delivering vesicles with the apical surface may contribute to umbrella cell enlargement. Both knockouts experienced vesicoureteral reflux, hydronephrosis, renal dysfunction, and, in the offspring of some breeding pairs, renal failure and neonatal death. These results highlight the functional importance of uroplakins and establish uroplakin defects as a possible cause of major urinary tract anomalies and death

Roche, Kevin J; Rivera, Rafael; Argilla, Michael; Fefferman, Nancy R; Pinkney, Lynne P; Rusinek, Henry; Genieser, Nancy B
2004 Apr;182(4):861-866, American journal of roentgenology
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare combined cine gradient-recalled echo MRI and MR angiography with conventional angiography in the evaluation of the pulmonary vascular supply in patients with pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eleven patients who underwent both MRI and conventional angiography were retrospectively reviewed. Contiguous 2D cine gradient-recalled echo images (TR range/TE, 30-80/4.8; flip angle, 20 degrees or 30 degrees ) and 3D MR angiographic images (TR range/TE range, 3.8-5.0/1.3-2.0; acquisition time, 13-32 sec) using gadopentetate meglumine (0.1-0.2 mmol/kg) were obtained. The presence, size, and course of the pulmonary arteries (main, right, left) and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (>/= 5 mm) were determined. Presence of minor collateral arteries (< 5 mm) was also noted. Results were compared with findings at conventional angiography. RESULTS: MRI showed all main (n = 4) and branch (n = 17) pulmonary arteries found at conventional angiography and showed the pulmonary confluence in five of six cases. MRI showed all major aortic collaterals (n = 22) with a highly significant correlation between MRI and conventional angiography measurements (r = 0.84, p < 0.001 [95% confidence interval, -0.35 to 0.40]). One coronary artery collateral was not shown on MRI examination. At MRI, 12 of 14 major and four of seven minor brachiocephalic artery collaterals were shown. MRI showed more minor aortic collaterals than angiography (22 vs 18 vessels, respectively). CONCLUSION: Combined cine gradient-recalled echo MRI and MR angiography is a reliable method for imaging pulmonary vascular supply in patients with these disorders. Additional prospective studies comparing MRI and conventional angiography may determine whether routine preoperative conventional angiography is required

Fefferman NR; Roche KJ; Pinkney LP; Ambrosino MM; Genieser NB
2001 Sep;220(3):691-695, Radiology
PURPOSE: To determine the accuracy of a focused computed tomographic (CT) technique with oral and intravenous contrast materials for the diagnosis of appendicitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety-three abdominal-pelvic contrast material-enhanced CT scans obtained during 6 years in 54 girls and 39 boys (age range, 1-18 years) with right lower quadrant pain were retrospectively reviewed. The detected abnormal findings were recorded as being in the region above the upper pole of the right kidney, between the upper pole of the right kidney and the lower pole of the right kidney (RLP), or below the iliac crest. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were calculated. chi(2) analysis was performed to determine whether there were significant differences among patient groups according to region of detected disease. RESULTS: Fifty-five scans were abnormal: 38 showed appendicitis; and 17, other diseases. No scans, except two that showed pneumonia, had key findings above the RLP. Nineteen scans showed key findings between the RLP and the iliac crest. Thirty-three scans had diagnostic findings only below the iliac crest. The sensitivity (97%), specificity (93%), positive predictive value (90%), and negative predictive value (98%) of interpretation with all images for the diagnosis of appendicitis were the same as those of interpretation with only the focused images. CONCLUSION: CT performed to diagnose appendicitis can be limited to the region below the RLP

Obstructive jaundice caused by placement of a nasoenteric feeding tube
Rinker B; Ginsburg HB; Genieser NB; Gittes GK
2000 Apr;35(4):619-620, Journal of pediatric surgery
Nasoenteric feeding tubes are a safe and effective means for providing nutritional support to the critically ill patient. Serious complications have been reported, but usually are the result of an improper path of the tube during placement. The authors report a case of ampullary obstruction and jaundice caused by a nasoenteric feeding tube, presumably caused by coiling of the tube in the duodenum. This report represents the first such case in the literature

Epidermolysis bullosa, pyloric atresia, and obstructive uropathy: A report of two case reports with molecular correlation and clinical management [In Process Citation]
Wallerstein R; Klein ML; Genieser N; Pulkkinen L; Uitto J
2000 Jul-Aug;17(4):286-289, Pediatric dermatology
The epidermolysis bullosa-pyloric atresia-obstructive uropathy (EB-PA-OU) association is a rare, but well-described multisystem disease. While the prognosis at this time is still poor, an increasing number of patients are surviving to adolescence with aggressive care. It is important to understand this syndrome in order to anticipate medical complications and offer preventive strategies where possible. Prompt and expectant management of obstructive uropathy is crucial in these patients. Evidence of ureterovesicular obstruction may require bowel diversion, as excision of the obstructed ureterovesicular junction with reimplantation is often associated with a high risk of reobstruction. Many newborns succumb to sepsis or dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Those infants who survive need close monitoring for the development of obstructive uropathy, failure to thrive, protein-losing enteropathy, respiratory compromise, and increased susceptibility to invasive infections. Once a clinical diagnosis is made, mutational analysis can confirm it and facilitate genetic counseling, as recurrence risks are 25% for this autosomal recessive condition. Mutational analysis enables direct genetic testing and accurate prenatal diagnosis. As more patients are studied, genotype/phenotype correlations may be possible

Roche KJ; Krinsky G; Lee VS; Rofsky N; Genieser NB
1999 Mar-Apr;23(2):197-202, Journal of computer assisted tomography
PURPOSE: Our goal was to describe the use of gadolinium-enhanced 3D MR angiography (MRA) in the diagnosis of interrupted aortic arch (IAA). METHOD: A review of our MR data base from a 1 year period yielded three patients (1 day, 8 days, and 16 years old) with IAA. All were referred for evaluation of aortic arch abnormalities, only one of whom had suspected IAA. Patients were imaged at 1.5 T with a 3D spoiled gradient echo pulse sequence (TR/TE 3.8-8/1.3-2.7 ms) following the administration of intravenous gadolinium chelates. Surgical correlation was available in all cases. RESULTS: In the patient with clinically suspected IAA, a previously unsuspected aberrant right subclavian artery was identified that was not seen on preoperative echocardiography. In another patient with a history of previous mediastinal surgery, IAA was diagnosed without concomitant cardiac anomalies, suggesting surgical ligation. In the remaining patient, IAA was detected as well as a patent truncus arteriosus. CONCLUSION: Gadolinium-enhanced 3D MRA may provide for a rapid diagnosis of IAA that may not be possible with other noninvasive modalities. The rapid acquisition time enables unstable pediatric patients to spend minimal time in the MR suite

Resonance imaging of a ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva
Roche KJ; Genieser NB; Ambrosino MM
1998 Jul;8(3):393-395, Cardiology in the young
Ruptured aneurysm of an aortic sinus of Valsalva is a rare cause of left-to-right shunting. We show how resonance imaging can be used to make the diagnosis. This technique can successfully characterize the shunt as well as determine the presence of associated anomalies, such as ventricular septation and aortic regurgitation. It may be the only study required prior to therapeutic intervention

MR findings in Shone's complex of left heart obstructive lesions
Roche KJ; Genieser NB; Ambrosino MM; Henry GL
1998 Nov;28(11):841-845, Pediatric radiology
BACKGROUND: Shone's complex is a series of four obstructive or potentially obstructive left-sided cardiac lesions (supravalvular mitral ring, parachute deformity of the mitral value, subaortic stenosis, and coarctation of the aorta). Both the complete form (all four lesions) and incomplete forms (less than four lesions) have been described. OBJECTIVE: To determine which abnormalities of Shone's complex could be characterized by MR. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MR examinations in three patients (one complete, two incomplete) were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: A supravalvular mitral ring, found at surgery in one patient, was not identified. Regurgitant and stenotic flow across the mitral valve, abnormal motion of the valve leaflets and abnormalities of the papillary muscles were identified. Individual chordal attachments were difficult to resolve. Narrowing in the subaortic region and abnormal flow from the subaortic region through the valve plane were demonstrated. A discrete subaortic diaphragm in one patient was not resolved. Both focal and diffuse types of coarctation of the aorta were well characterized. CONCLUSION: MR imaging is suited to evaluation of patients with Shone's complex. Individual chordal attachments and thin diaphragms of the mitral and aortic valves were difficult to resolve

Pediatric hepatic CT: an injection protocol
Roche KJ; Genieser NB; Ambrosino MM
1996 ;26(8):502-507, Pediatric radiology
OBJECTIVE. To determine an injection protocol for pediatric hepatic CT and to investigate the use of power injection. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Eighty-seven studies were prospectively performed using ioversol (320 mg iodine per cc) at 2 cc/kg. Three techniques were used: helical (1 s/slice); dynamic, non-breath-hold (5.5 s/slice); dynamic, breath-hold (10 s/slice) scans. The liver-scan time for each study was determined. Scan initiation ranged from 25 to 80 s. An injection duration (50-100 seconds) was selected. From the contrast volume (2 cc/kg x kg body wt) and injection duration, the injection rate (cc/s) was calculated for each patient. Each study was grouped by injection rate corrected for body weight (cc/kg/min) into: 1.2-1.5, 1.51-2.0, and 2.01-2.4. The aortic/liver attenuation curves were plotted for each group. RESULTS. Liver-scan time for helical studies was a mean of 26 s, for dynamic, non-breath-hold studies 75 s, dynamic breath-hold scans were 154 s. Injection rates of 1.2-1.5 cc/kg/min produced a scanning interval of 165 s. Injection rates of 1.51-2.0 cc/kg/min produced a scanning interval of 120 s. Injection rates of 2.01-2.4 cc/kg/min produced a scanning interval of 90 s. There was no increase in hepatic attenuation for the injection rates 2.01-2.4 cc/kg/min compared with 1.51-2.0 cc/kg/min. There was one complication related to injection through a central line. CONCLUSIONS. An injection protocol was determined for helical studies with injection rates of 1.7-2.0 cc/kg/min with initiation at 60 s; for dynamic, non-breath-hold studies with injection rates of 1.5-1.7 cc/kg/min with initiation at 50 s; and for dynamic breath-hold studies with injection rates of 1.2-1.5 cc/kg/min with initiation at 45 s. Power injection was used safely in our population

Application of thin-section low-dose chest CT (TSCT) in the management of pediatric AIDS
Ambrosino MM; Roche KJ; Genieser NB; Kaul A; Lawrence RM
1995 ;25(5):393-400, Pediatric radiology
The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of thin-section low-dose computed tomography (TSCT) in the management of children with AIDS, as chest radiographs (CXR) often fail to adequately explain the patients' clinical status. We performed 54 noncontrast TSCTs on 32 children. The patients aged from 3 months to 14.6 years, were diagnosed as having bacterial pneumonia, lumphocytic interstitial pneumonitis (LIP), Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), or Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare infection (MAI). The scans were correlated with the clinical diagnosis, T-lymphocyte-subset percentages, and p24-antigen levels. Subsegmental consolidations were seen in patients with LIP, PCP, and MAI, and as an isolated finding in those with only bacterial pneumonia. Ground-glass haziness was seen exclusively with acute PCP. Reticulonodular thickening was identified only in patients with LIP. Mosaic perfusion was seen with MAI, LIP, and pneumonia. The presence of adenopathy correlated with CD4+ T-cell subset percentages. The greatest value of CT in this study was in detecting new disease when chest films failed to correlate with a patient's clinical state, and in demonstrating acute/subacute disease in patients with severe baseline chest-film changes. Recurrent pneumonias may represent progression of 'smoldering' disease, rather than true recurrent disease following complete clearing. Adenopathy with low CD4+ levels should suggest lymphoma or infection with MAI

Feasibility of high-resolution, low-dose chest CT in evaluating the pediatric chest
Ambrosino MM; Genieser NB; Roche KJ; Kaul A; Lawrence RM
1994 ;24(1):6-10, Pediatric radiology
Thin-section, high-resolution (1.0/1.5 mm thick slices), low-dose chest CT scans were performed in 55 infants and children. The studies were carried out with 1- and 2-s scan (data acquisition) times using a high-resolution (bone) algorithm. Although there was some motion artifact, the studies provided valuable information for evaluating diffuse parenchymal lung disease. The thin slices provided finer detail and more diagnostic information than images representing thicker sections. Most studies were performed using between 40 and 80 mAs. It is estimated that the patients' radiation exposure was 20% that of conventional high-resolution CT (HRCT) and 57% that of routine chest CT. Diagnostic HRCT scans can be obtained in infants and young children without the need for suspended respiration or specialized ultrafast CT scanners

1994 Jul;13(7):501-508, Journal of ultrasound in medicine
We evaluated the use of sonography in monitoring the efficacy of suppressive therapy with a gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue in girls being treated for isosexual precocious puberty. Ten girls 5 to 9 years of age underwent serial sonography and hormonal stimulation tests on the same day. Sonographic trends of decreasing ovarian volume and uterine length indicated early suppression even when absolute values were above threshold. Changes in ovarian volume were the most sensitive predictor of pituitary-gonadal suppression. Sonography is a sensitive and accurate method of monitoring medical therapy; ovarian volume and analysis of interval change are the most sensitive barometers of change

1990 Apr;154(4):797-802, American journal of roentgenology
Patients suspected of having derangement of solitus asymmetry should be evaluated individually to determine abdominal visceral and vascular arrangement and to investigate associated problems. This evaluation should begin with plain films to assess cardiac and gastric positions and pulmonary vascularity. Assessment of the bronchial branching patterns should be attempted in all cases. Sonography will delineate the presence or absence of splenic tissue and the anatomy and relationships of the cava and the portal vein. When no spleen is found and the pulmonary vascularity appears congested, a subdiaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous connection should be suspected and verified. If there are splenuli in the retrogastric area, particular attention should be paid to the status of the gallbladder, especially in children who do not have congenital heart disease. Selective spleen scans can confirm the presence of splenic tissue. The high cost and sedation requirement of MR would suggest that it be reserved for cases in which sonography is unable to answer the pertinent questions

1989 Mar;8(3):109-114, Journal of ultrasound in medicine
Anomalies of renal fusion and their sonographic findings can be straightforward or quite complex. Sonograms of eight cases of simple and complicated anomalies of renal fusion in pediatric patients are reviewed to determine characteristic sonographic findings in such cases. The correct diagnosis can be suspected by evaluation of the following parameters: (1) the echoic texture of the renal 'mass'; (2) the differential orientation of the renal pelves; (3) the content of the contralateral renal fossa; (4) the size of the ipsilateral kidney; (5) extension of the isthmus medially anterior to the spine; and (6) presence of a deep anteroposterior notch. Utilizing these parameters, a rationale for diagnosis and for selecting the appropriate sequence of further studies is suggested

A retrospective examination of brain tumors in infants less than a year of age was undertaken by reviewing their charts and CT scans. In contradistinction to brain tumors found in older children, most tumors were supratentorial in location. The most common histologic types included: astrocytoma, ganglioglioma and primative neuroectodermal tumors. Apart from their larger size at the time of presentation, these tumors were radiologically and pathologically similar to analogous tumors found in adults

1988 Apr;150(4):897-902, American journal of roentgenology
Six infants with cerebral infarcts were examined prospectively with real-time sonography to determine the sonographic characteristics of infarcts and their evolution. Patients' ages ranged from 1 day to 7 months, and serial sonographic and/or CT scans were obtained over a period of 2 weeks to 14 months in the survivors. Among our patients the most characteristic sonographic findings of infarction were absence of gyral definition, absence of vascular pulsations, altered parenchymal echogenicity, and territorial distribution. Mass effect, reflected in ventricular size and shift of midline structures, may also be seen and largely parallels the extent of the infarction. Evolution of infarcts was seen sonographically as gradual return of arterial pulsations and concurrent development of cystic spaces. Sonography was found to be a valuable tool in the diagnosis of infarction in infancy and in monitoring its evolution, although CT was necessary for adequate initial evaluation in older infants

1988 Jul;151(1):13-19, American journal of roentgenology
Over an 18-month period, 11 adults with congenital pulmonary anomalies within the sequestration spectrum, identified either surgically or radiographically by CT and/or angiography, were evaluated with MR. These included seven patients with bronchogenic cysts, two with intralobar pulmonary sequestrations, one with scimitar syndrome, and one with bronchial atresia. In each case, MR showed at least some findings indicative of the correct diagnosis. MR proved especially effective in the detection of abnormal fluid collections (nine cases) and the identification of anomalous vessels (three cases). Fluid collections were easily identified in all cases, including four cases with high-density collections on CT (two with bronchogenic cysts and two with intralobar pulmonary sequestration), especially when single-level, multiecho T2-weighted sequences were obtained. Calculated T2 values ranged from 78 to 439 msec (average, 223 +/- 123 msec). Although T2 values were statistically significant for differentiating fluid from muscle (p = .0012) and fat (p = .0046), they were not sufficiently specific to allow precise fluid characterization. Significant limitations were also apparent, such as an inability to detect alterations in the parenchymal architecture of the lungs (three cases) or intrapulmonary vascularity (one case). Despite this, we conclude that MR may be of considerable value in the assessment of congenital pulmonary anomalies and in select cases obviate more invasive diagnostic procedures

1988 Jan;166(1 Pt 1):63-68, Radiology
Magnetic resonance phase images are derived from conventional spin-echo (SE) pulse sequences and display properties of proton movement that occurs with blood flow. SE magnitude and phase images were obtained and retrospectively evaluated in 21 patients referred for potential cardiovascular abnormalities in which intracardiac or intravascular signal was detected. Abnormalities included intravascular and intracardiac thrombus, aneurysm, aortic dissection, flow alteration, atherosclerotic disease, and congenital cardiac anomaly. Thrombosis (six cases) was successfully differentiated from flow-related signal (15 cases) by comparing phase images with SE magnitude images; in cases of thrombosis, there was no phase shift in corresponding areas of increased signal intensity. In comparison, SE magnitude signal intensities alone were not an accurate indicator in differentiating thrombus from flow-related enhancement. Because phase images are sensitive for identifying flow, the SE magnitude signal of intravascular tumor or thrombus can be differentiated from that of flow effects with more clinical confidence

Congenital bilateral absence of the fifth ray and vaginal atresia
Beneck, D; Becker, M H; Genieser, N B; Greco, M A
1987 ;3:389-393, American journal of medical genetics. Supplement
We have studied an infant with respiratory distress, absent fifth rays of the hands, and hydrometrocolpos. Congenital absence of the fifth ray of the hand is a rare malformation. In some syndromes the ulnar defects are symmetrical; however, as an isolated anomaly the defects are usually asymmetric. This patient's malformations appear to be unique in that the ulnar ray was affected bilaterally, with an associated genital malformation

Dyssegmental dwarfism: a histologic study of osseous and nonosseous cartilage
Greco, M A; Alvarez, S P; Genieser, N B; Becker, M H
1984 May;15(5):490-493, Human pathology
Dyssegmental dwarfism is probably an autosomal recessive, lethal, generalized chondrodysplasia; it is characterized by anisospondyly , shortening of long bones, and narrow chest. Maturation of chondrocytes at the epiphyseal plates is disturbed. The pathologic features of osseous and nonosseous cartilage in a stillborn female infant with dyssegmental dwarfism are described. The cartilage matrix of tubular bones, vertebrae, ilia , ribs, nose, larynx, and trachea showed acellular areas with accumulation of acid mucopolysaccharides and no increase in collagen fibers. The findings, although not pathognomonic, suggest that this type of dwarfism may be a generalized connective tissue disorder. The abnormal synthesis, structure, or secretion of the components of the cartilaginous matrix may lead to accumulation of acellular material in both skeletal and respiratory tract cartilage

Late presentation of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung
Hulnick, D H; Naidich, D P; McCauley, D I; Feiner, H D; Avitabile, A M; Greco, M A; Genieser, N B
1984 Jun;151(3):569-573, Radiology
Although most often recognized in neonates and young children, congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung (CCAM) occasionally appears in later years. Three patients, aged 35, 24, and 7 years, are reported. Chest radiographs in each case suggested a localized patchy density, a cystic mass, or a multicystic mass, but computed tomography (CT) best demonstrated the cystic and solid components while ruling out bronchiectasis or major bronchial obstruction. Bronchography contributed no further diagnostic information compared with CT. Each patient underwent lobectomy. Histologically, the characteristic overgrowth of bronchiolar elements replacing normal parenchymal architecture was accompanied by some superimposed inflammatory change. Each patient had a history of pneumonia, and in such patients, characteristic radiographic features should suggest the possibility of late presentation of CCAM

The clinical and radiologic findings of tuberous sclerosis in three family members, which manifested as renal insufficiency due to extensive renal cystic disease, are described. The family was thought to have polycystic kidney disease until coexisting tiny angiomyolipomas were found among the cysts (by computed tomography in two patients and at autopsy in one). The radiologic and pathologic factors that establish the diagnosis of renal cystic disease associated with the tuberous sclerosis complex are reviewed

Wishnick MM; Valensi Q; Doyle EF; Balian A; Genieser NB; Chrousos G
1982 Apr;136(4):339-344, American journal of diseases of children
A patient with Churg-Strauss syndrome had pulmonary lesions, vasculitis, gastrointestinal tract involvement, and leukocytosis with hypereosinophilia. A wedge section from the lung showed necrotizing granulomata filled with necrotic eosinophils and fibrinoid, and rimmed by giant cells and eosinophils. Arteries and veins of all sizes were affected with perivascular eosinophilic-rich, palisaded, giant cell granulomata with evidence of partial or complete occlusion. The patient was treated with prednisone, with excellent resolution of his symptoms. Recurrent episodes of pneumonia and wheezing responded to increased levels of prednisone plus bronchodilators and antibiotics. Cardiomyopathy developed after two years while taking prednisone. His condition has been managed with digoxin, diuretics, and increased amount of prednisone. Although our patient has shown clinical improvement in his cardiac status, objective studies show minimal resolution

A case of idiopathic, chronic relapsing pancreatitis arising in childhood is presented and compared with the 12 previously reported cases. This entity is a rare cause of severe, recurrent abdominal pain in childhood. The diagnosis is suggested by elevated serum or urine amylase values or pancreatic calcifications. Ultrasound, computerized tomography, or as in this case, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography can aid in the diagnosis. Surgery yields excellent results

Nodular residua of atypical measles pneumonia
Mitnick J; Becker MH; Rothberg M; Genieser NB
1980 Feb;134(2):257-260, American journal of roentgenology
Atypical measles pneumonia should be considered an explanation for nodular pulmonary lesions in older children and young adults. The disorder can develop in children immunized with inactivated measles virus vaccine who are then exposed to natural measles virus. Individuals given the vaccine when it was used (1961--1968) are now at risk to develop atypical measles pneumonia. This pneumonia may have a lobar or diffuse bronchopneumonia pattern. Three cases of this disorder are described. In one case, radiography showed calcification in the nodules 6 years after the pneumonia. Complicated and possibly hazardous workups can be avoided by awareness of this disease

Rupture of a non-rheumatoid popliteal cyst: a syndrome mimicking thrombophlebitis
Firooznia H; Golimbu C; Rafii M; Genieser NB
1979 Apr;4(2):95-97, Revista interamericana de radiologia
Rupture of a popliteal cyst and dissection of its contents into the calf may produce pain, swelling, a positive Homan's sign and other findings closely resembling thrombophlebitis of the calf. The correct diagnosis is not often made, and the patient is subjected to needless long term anticoagulant therapy with its potential complications. To avoid this, it is essential that this possibility be kept in mind in all patients in whom the diagnosis of thrombophlebitis is considered. The history of preexisting arthritis of the knee, joint effusion and popliteal cyst are strongly suggestive of a ruptured popliteal cyst. This diagnosis can be verified by arthrography, ultrasonography, computed tomography and radionuclide scanning. Arthrography is preferred because it reveals superior anatomic detail thereby making differentiation between an encapsulated calf cyst, with smooth walls, and rupture, with irregular feathery margins, possible. Three illustrative cases are presented and the literature is reviewed

Pulmonary disorders occur in 25 to 47 per cent of the patients with Sjogren's Syndrome. These are of two types: 1. related to the major connective tissue disorders which commonly accompany this syndrome, and 2. secondary to the peculiar underlying pathology of Sjogren's Syndrome i.e. sicca disorders of the lung. The latter is the more frequent type, occurring mainly in patients with protected sicca complex unaccompanied by a systemic connective tissue disorder, and consists of chronic bronchitis, subsegmental atelectasis, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, lymphoproliferative pulmonary infiltrates and chronic interstitial pneumonitis which may lead to pulmonary fibrosis. 21 cases of Sjogren's Syndrome, 9 of whom had evidence of pulmonary abnormality, are presented, including a case of interstitial pneumonitis leading to diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis.

Computerized axial tomography is a new radiologic technique that permits noninvasive study of the skull, brain, and cerebral ventricles. This technique has been applied to the study of craniofacial malformations prior to intracranial surgical correction. The assessment of the cerebral ventricles is valuable as a base line study as well as helpful in detecting unsuspected abnormalities in the brain prior to surgery

The campomelic syndrome is a short-limb, usually fatal, neonatal dwarfism. It is characterized by bowed lower limbs, especially the tibia, usually associated with a cutaneous dimple over the anterior skin. There is delayed calcification of the epiphyses and delayed mineralization of the spine and pelvis. The cartilages of the tracheobronchial tree are hypoplastic, contributing to death from respiratory problems. Other associated abnormalities are unusual appearing facies, cleft palate, absent olfactory nerves and talipes equinovarus. Less commonly seen are cardiac, renal and brain anomalies

The results indicated that in no case did the isotope scan demonstrate greater intramedullary extension of tumor than the routine roentgenographic examination. In addition, despite good correlation between the roentgenogram, scan, and histologic evaluation of tumor extent, all of which showed no evidence of malignancy near the area of surgery,there have been to date 3 local recurrences
