    Two cases of tuberculosis of the thoracic spine with extrapleural extension of paravertebral abscesses, presenting radiologically as cold abscesses away from the spine in the PA chest radiograph, are presented. The radiographic features and response to antitubercular drugs are discussed.

    Four cases of salpingitis isthmica nodosa diagnosed from a total of 82 hysterosalpingograms, over a period of three years at the General Hospital, Kota Bharu, were reviewed. The diagnosis was made based on the radiographic appearance of globules of contrast medium in the periluminal tissues which were in continuity with the lumen of the fallopian tubes. Three of these patients had ectopic pregnancy. Diagnosis of salpingitis isthmica nodosa which is readily demonstrated by hysterosalpingogram, is extremely important because of its impact on ectopic pregnancy rates. Hysterosalpingography is indicated following ectopic pregnancy to show whether there is diverticulosis of the contralateral tube. By such knowledge, optimal treatment can be offered to patients wishing to attempt further conception. As the disease is relatively localised it is amenable to resection with reimplantation of the distal portion of the tube.

    Retroperitoneal duodenal rupture due to blunt abdominal trauma is relatively uncommon. Diagnosis is difficult because the physical signs are subtle or they are difficult to interpret. A case of retroperitoneal duodenal rupture due to blunt abdominal trauma in whom the diagnosis was delayed is reported. Radiographic features are discussed. The role of early roentgen diagnosis is stressed in order to reduce the very high mortality which is associated with delay in diagnosis and treatment.

    A case of primary non-tuberculous psoas abscess is reported and the literature reviewed. The aetiology of psoas abscess is varied and there is a worldwide variation in the aetiology. Primary psoas abscess is due to Staphylococcal infection. The pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment are discussed with emphasis on the changing pattern in the aetiology and diagnosis.

    Incomplete form of tuberous sclerosis (TS) may present with acute complications such as haematuria, retroperitoneal haemorrhage or pneumothorax. Such cases may pose diagnostic difficulty. A patient with incomplete form of TS without any cerebral impairment who presented as an acute surgical abdomen is reported. The diagnostic criteria of TS are reviewed. Visceral manifestations of TS including acute complications are discussed. The importance of recognising such presentations is stressed.
