New Findings from University of Jordan in the Area of Radiology Reported (Incidental intraosseous pneumatocyst with gas-density-fluid level in an adolescent: a case report and review of the literature) (Incidental intraosseous pneumatocyst with ...)

 

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Health & Medicine Week -- Investigators publish new report on Medical Imaging. According to news reporting out of Amman, Jordan, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "Intraosseous pneumatocyst is a gas containing lesion located within a bone. It is a relatively rare condition of unclear etiology and with an undetermined natural course."

 

Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of Jordan, "Gas-density-fluid level pneumatocyst is even rarer. Pneumatocyst is frequently seen in adults but rarely reported in pediatrics. The lesion is usually small and is seen in the vertebral bodies as well as around the sacroiliac joints. Rarely does it occur in other parts of the skeleton. We are reporting a case of large blood signal intensity containing intraosseous pneumatocyst in a 14 year old boy and reviewing other pediatric cases of pneumatocysts as well as those with gas-density-fluid level."

 

According to the news editors, the research concluded: "The recognition of this incidental rare benign lesion is essential to avoid over investigation and an inappropriate aggressive intervention."
