To explain the utility of fat pads in the diagnosis of occult injury and correlate plain film findings with MRI MK002-EB-X MR Signal Abnormalities of the Adolescent Growth Plate All Day Location: MK Community, Learning Center Participants Iman Khodarahmi, MD, PhD, Newark, NJ (Presenter) Nothing to Disclose Marcia F. Blacksin, MD, West Caldwell, NJ (Abstract Co-Author) Nothing to Disclose TEACHING POINTS While some pediatric and adult joint pathologies overlap, there are significant differences, and therefore, interpreters of pediatric MR must be cognizant of these differences as well as normal variants. Upon completing this exhibit, the reviewer will become familiar with MR signal characteristics of normal adolescent physis as well as MR appearance of different growth plate physiologic and pathologic conditions based on images from our institution. Clinical significance and key imaging similarities and differences for these conditions will be reviewed. Finally, the readers will be provided with a table of take-home points so they will have familiarity when such lesions appear on their work queue.

Conclusion MK004-EB-X Comprehensive Review of CPPD Arthropathy: Common and Unusual Imaging Findings All Day Location: MK Community, Learning Center Participants Mumtaz B. Syed, MD, Knoxville, TN (Presenter) Nothing to Disclose Andrew J. Vincent, MD, Knoxville, TN (Abstract Co-Author) Nothing to Disclose Peter T. Petruzzi, MD, Knoxville, TN (Abstract Co-Author) Nothing to Disclose TEACHING POINTS Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease is a metabolic arthropathy caused by the deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) in and around joints, especially in articular and fibrocartilage. The etiology of CPPD is unknown. Excess calcium has a probable relationship with chondrocalcinosis, with hemochromatosis and hyperparathyroidism being two major risk factors. Although CPPD is often asymptomatic, with only radiographic changes such as chondrocalcinosis, various clinical manifestations may occur, including acute arthritis (pseudogout) and chronic arthritis. Bone destruction may occur as a result of the inflammation. Although almost any joint may be involved by CPPD, the knees, wrists, and hips are most commonly affected. Other joints involved by CPPD athropathy include TMJ and atlanto-odontoid structures of the cervical spine. CPPD is the most common cause of secondary metabolic osteoarthritis. We review the radiographic findings of CPPD arthropathy with correlative CT and MRI mages of various joints affected with chonedrocalcinosis.

To illustrate the various imaging feature of the common and unusual peri-coccygeal masses which include congenital lesions, infectious lesions and neoplastic lesions in adult with pathologic correlation.2. Recognize differential diagnosis of peri-coccygeal mass in adult, presenting as solid and cyst mass lesion. TABLE OF CONTENTS/OUTLINE 1. Introduction2. Normal anatomy and embryology of peri-coccygeal area.3. Congenital lesion A. Pilnodidal sinus/ cyst 4. Benign lesion A. Cystic mass: Epidermal cyst, Bursitis, Synovial cyst B. Solid mass: Lipoma, Hemangioma, Schwannoma/Neurofibroma, Myxopapillary ependymoma5. Malignant lesion A. Metastasis B. Chordoma SummaryVarious pathologic masses which include congenital, infectious and neoplastic condition can occurs in the peri-coccygeal area. But peri-coccygeal mass in adult is uncommon and not well known to radiologists. Knowledge of the normal anatomy and familiarity with the imaging features of these lesions are important for determining the type of mass or narrowing the differential diagnosis.
