ABSTRACT
The study of postoperative ear cavities in patients who underwent surgery for cholesteatoma is a difficult challenge for radiologists. In our study we make a correlation between CT and MRI findings, useful tools in patients with suspected residual or recurrent cholesteatoma. The use of different MRI sequences especially DWI can help radiologists to discriminate between cholesteatoma and other different processes.
ABSTRACT
Carotid-cavernous fistulas are uncommon anomalous communications between the venous cavernous sinus and the carotid arterial system. We present two cases studied at our center. We show the characteristic CT, MRI, and orbital ultrasound findings and review the relevant literature.

Urachal sinus is a rare congenital anomaly due to incomplete closure the urachus in the umbilical region, it is very rare in adults. 47-year-old male who arrived at our Emergency Department with recurrent umbilical discharge. Not response medical treatment (oral antibiotic and drainage). Abdominal computerized tomography scan confirmed the urachal sinus with omphalitis. Surgical complete excision with omphalectomy was performed. Any complications in the postoperative was observed.

El uracosinus es una anomalía congénita poco frecuente secundaria a la obliteración incompleta del uraco en su porción infraumbilical, que puede aparecer a cualquier edad. Presentamos un paciente de 47 años que acudió al servicio de urgencias por supuración umbilical persistente que no había respondido al tratamiento médico (antibioterapia y curas). El TAC confirmó la existencia de un sinus del uraco con cambios de onfalitis. La cirugía consistió en la resección en bloque del mismo con onfalectomía. El postoperatorio transcurrió sin incidencias
