- High Variability in Radiologists' Reporting Practices for Incidental Thyroid Nodules Detected on CT and MRI
The authors evaluated radiologists' current reporting practices for incidental thyroid nodules detected on CT and MRI. The most common responses to the survey were to recommend sonography and to report the nodules only in the body of the report. No significant differences were found when years of practice, practice types, and subspecialty were examined. Reporting practices were especially variable for patients with smaller nodules (≤10 mm) and those with multiple nodules and a history of cancer.
- Spontaneous Lateral Sphenoid Cephaloceles: Anatomic Factors Contributing to Pathogenesis and Proposed Classification
Imaging findings in 26 patients with spontaneous lateral sphenoid cephaloceles were studied. The authors were able to classify these lesions into those involving the lateral recess of the sphenoid sinus that typically manifested as CSF leaks and headaches, and a second type that involved the lateral sphenoidal wing without extension into the sinus and presented with a variety of findings including seizures, headaches, meningitis, or neuropathy, or were incidental. All patients showed sphenoid arachnoid pits and 61% had an empty or partially empty sella.
