  • unusual Pathological Condition in the lower extremities of a skeleton from ancient israel
    American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1992
    Co-Authors: Israel Hershkovitz, M Speirs, A Katznelson, Baruch Arensburg
    Abstract:

    We report here an unusual pathology in a 1,500-year-old skeleton recovered from Bet Guvrin, Israel. The Pathological changes in the lower extremities and the diagnostic difficulties are presented. We attribute this Condition to Madura foot, found primarily in tropical and subtropical regions, although other diagnoses are possible and are noted. We discuss its appearance in the region in light of the historical context.

  • Examination and Management of a Patient With Tarsal Coalition
    2016
    Co-Authors: Michael J Kelo, Donald L Riddle
    Abstract:

    The purpose of this case report is to illustrate how the literature can be used to guide clinical decisions related to a relatively uncommon Pathological Condition of the foot. This case report describes the approach used to examine and treat a 14year-old boy referred by a physician for physical therapy with a diagnosis of peroneal spastic flatfoot (PSFF). Peroneal spastic flatfoot is a syndrome typically char-acterized by limited tarsal joint motion, a clonus response of the evertors, and a pes planus deformity. The patient reported having a limp for several years, but he said he was pain-free until he had an inversion injury of his foot. Because the physical therapists had not seen a patient with a diagnosis of PSFF, they reviewed the literature related to PSFF. They describe how their review enhanced their understanding of PSFF and how PSFF is related to the diagnosis of tarsal coalition, a Pathological Condition eventually identified in this child. Following 5 unsuccessful physical therapy sessions, they referred the patient to another physician who diagnosed a talocalcaneal coali-tion, a type of tarsal coalition. [Kelo MJ, Riddle DL.

  • persistent urogenital sinus diagnostic imaging for clinical management what does the radiologist need to know
    American Journal of Perinatology, 2015
    Co-Authors: Anna Lia Valentini, Michela Giuliani, Benedetta Gui, Maria Elena Laino, Viola Zecchi, Elena Rodolfino, Valeria Ninivaggi, Carlo Manzoni, Lorenzo Bonomo
    Abstract:

    Background Persistent urogenital sinus (PUGS) is a congenital Pathological Condition characterized by an abnormal communication between the urethra and vagina. It may be a part of a complex syndrome and can be more often associated with congenital malformations affecting the genitourinary tract system (33%) such as intersex, rectovaginal communication, bladder agenesis, absence of vagina, and hydrocolpos. The correct radiological assessment of PUGS is especially useful for clinicians since the exact anatomical evaluation of this abnormality is a crucial factor for surgical planning. The imaging study modalities, which are essentially based on ultrasonography, voiding cystourethrography, and magnetic resonance imaging, could be misinterpreted if not correctly performed. Aim The aim of this article is to highlight this rare Pathological Condition and to help general radiologists in achieving the correct technical approach for the diagnosis. Special attention will be paid in discussing the role of different imaging modalities and their contribution to the diagnosis and clinical management of patients.
