 Multiple Bladder Diverticula Diagnosis, Pathophysiology, Imaging Findings, and Treatment Strategy Keywords : bladder diverticulum, multiple bladder diverticula, benign prostatic hyperplasia, intravesical pressure, urinary tract anomalies, CT findings, bladder wall herniation, urologic disease, geriatric bladder disorders Introduction A bladder diverticulum is an abnormal cystic structure formed when the bladder mucosa protrudes through the muscular layer of the bladder wall. Among these, multiple bladder diverticula exhibit more complex pathophysiology than solitary diverticula and are often associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or bladder dysfunction , primarily affecting elderly males. This column provides an expert-level review of the definition, etiology, pathophysiology, imaging findings, treatment, and prognosis of multiple bladder diverticula, based on the attached imaging material and documentation. Quiz questions and annotated image descriptions are i...

 Understanding Tubal Ligation Clips : Imaging, Risks, Migration, and Management Keywords: tubal ligation clips, Filshie clip migration, Hulka clip imaging, chronic abdominal pain, radiology of tubal clips, tubal ligation complications, surgical sterilization clips 1. Introduction Tubal ligation clips (commonly Filshie clips or Hulka clips ) are small metallic or plastic clips applied to the fallopian tubes during laparoscopic sterilization. While widely accepted for permanent contraception, these devices pose unique clinical and imaging considerations. This expert‑level column explores their radiologic appearance, typical complications such as clip migration, symptom profiles, and management strategies. 2. What Are Tubal Ligation Clips? In laparoscopic tubal ligation, Filshie clips —titanium with a silicone lining—are applied bilaterally to occlude the fallopian tubes. Alternatively, Hulka clips , spring‑loaded plastic with a gold spring lock, offer another mechanical occlu...

Recurrent Tracheobronchial Papillomatosis with Pulmonary Involvement due to HPV Types 6 and 11 Introduction Recurrent tracheobronchial papillomatosis with pulmonary involvement is a rare but serious manifestation of juvenile recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP) caused by HPV 6 and HPV 11. Integrating CT imaging correlation, viral genotype analysis, and clinical management, this case reflects the potential for lower airway and lung disease in HPV 6/11 infection, often underestimated. Drawing upon the case report “17-year-old male with juvenile recurrent respiratory papillomatosis” from Applied Radiology (July 2011), this case exemplifies disease progression from cervical/tracheal papillomas to pulmonary cavitary lesions, nodules, and bronchial obstruction, despite prior surgical and antiviral (cidofovir) therapy 1. Clinical Background A 17‑year‑old male with a long history of juvenile‑onset RRP began experiencing exacerbation of cough and dyspnea , despite multip...

  Pseudoangiomatous Stromal Hyperplasia (PASH) Presenting as a Palpable Mass: A Clinical Insight Keywords : pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia, PASH, benign breast tumor, palpable mass, breast ultrasound, core biopsy, surgical excision, stromal lesion, breast neoplasm, differential diagnosis Introduction Pseudoangiomatous Stromal Hyperplasia (PASH) is a rare, benign proliferative breast condition characterized by dense stromal proliferation forming complex slit-like spaces resembling vascular channels. Although typically an incidental histopathological finding, it may occasionally manifest as a rapidly enlarging palpable mass that mimics malignant neoplasms clinically and radiologically. This blog post provides an in-depth review of a clinically significant case of PASH, informed by the case report published in Frontiers in Surgery , offering key imaging findings, histologic characteristics, and clinical management considerations. Case Overview A 41-year-old woman present...
