Percutaneous preoperative localisation of breast tumours using a hook-wire needle is a standard radiological practice. The use of a hook-wire in preoperative localisation of pulmonary
We report on a woman who presented with a history of lower limb weakness and numbness for a few months. Based on cross-sectional imaging, at first she was provisionally diagnosed to have an aggressive tumour around the spinal column.
We describe a case of lower limb deep vein thrombus in a patient with an inferior vena caval congenital anomaly, treated by insertion of two inferior vena caval filters.
Global hypoxic-ischaemic injuries to the brain are devastating and result in high mortality and morbidity in both children and adults. We report three cases from different causes of hypoxic-ischaemic injury to the brain in these age-groups.
Herein, we report a very rare case of a patient suffering from the simultaneous occurrence of an unusually gigantic posterior fossa varix (measuring 35 mm x 45 mm) and a tentorial dural arteriovenous fistula in the absence of intracranial

We report a rare instance of complete resolution of pulmonary metastatic lesions after gross total resection of a clear cell meningioma. This case showed that clear cell meningioma could metastasise to the lungs and that complete
Objective: To illustrate a new standard on how an Air-Gap Technique could be practically adopted for stereotactic-guided core biopsy on thin Asian breasts (using a homemade foam board),
We report on a patient with a history of pancreatic carcinoma 15 years ago, who presented with a fever of unknown origin and was subsequently found to have disseminated metastases from an unknown primary. Multiple investigations
