Multiple unilateral tarsal coalitions in a nonsyndromic patient

Tarsal coalition is relatively frequent, with an estimated prevalence of 1-2%. Coalitions are most commonly talocalcaneal or calcaneonavicular, accounting for 90% of cases. While it is well known that bilateral tarsal coalitions can occur in up to 50% of cases, the presence of multiple coalitions in the same foot is less well described. In this report, we present a case of talocalcaneal and calcaneonavicular coalitions occurring in the same foot and briefly review the relevant literature.

Imaging findings in infants with recurrent vomiting after pyloromyotomy: a pictorial review

Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) is a common entity with an incidence of 2–4 per 1000 live births. Current definitive treatment is with pyloromyotomy, which is usually performed laparoscopically. The procedure is generally well tolerated with resolution of the patient’s symptoms. In a small percentage of patients, however, there is recurrent vomiting which warrants further investigation. In this pictorial review, the expected post-operative appearance of the pylorus will be described, and the imaging findings and clinical course of two patients with recurrent vomiting after pyloromyotomy will be presented.
