RESUMEN
Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disease that, in rare cases, can involve the central nervous system (CNS). We present a case of sarcoidosis with intracranial and multi-organ involvement. The patient presented with a one-month history of headaches. Imaging revealed leptomeningeal nodular enhancement (LNE), and a PET/CT scan of the chest and abdomen showed bilateral hilar, retroperitoneal, and inguinal lymphadenopathy. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was confirmed by an ultrasound-guided inguinal lymph node biopsy. The patient was started on a combination of corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs, with a gradual improvement in symptoms and radiological findings over several months.
RESUMEN
The gallbladder is not part of the standard survey of a fetus during obstetrical ultrasound. Yet, some anomalies can be detected. Most are clinically benign, but some are features of or associated with more serious complications. Biliary atresia constitutes the diagnosis with the worst prognosis. Its in utero diagnosis is difficult. Still, markers do exist and should be searched for. Knowledge of the normal appearances, variants and abnormalities of the gallbladder contributes to proper management. Any suspicion should lead to meticulous postnatal workup. Pre- or postnatal magnetic resonance imaging can provide additional information in select cases.
