This case report presents three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) findings in the diagnosis of Eagle's syndrome that is characterized with an elongated styloid process or a calcified stylohyoid ligament causing craniofacial or cervical pain. We have performed 3D-CT in three patients suspected to have this condition. Coronal images were taken in two patients and axial images in one patient with a spiral CT scanner. 3D-CT images were then produced. The length of the styloid process in the case suspected of right elongated styloid process was 45.6 mm (left styloid process, 37 mm). In the second case suspected of left elongated st . . .yloid process, the length of the left styloid process was 41.1 mm (right styloid process, 40.2 mm). In the last case suspected of right elongated styloid process, the length of the right styloid process was 40.6 mm (left styloid process, 38.9 mm). 3D-CT is a valuable diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of Eagle's syndrome because of its ability to facilitate accurate measurement of the length of the styloid process. © Turkish Society of Radiology 2005 Daha fazlası Daha az

Hepatic lipomas are extremely rare benign tumors. Because these lesions are asymptomatic, they are usually discovered incidentally. There is no risk of malignant degeneration. The imaging appearance of lipomas is characteristic. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and sonographic findings of these lesions can help in characterization by allowing specific diagnosis. In computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, simple lipomas demonstrate fat attenuation or signal intensity and do not enhance after contrast material administration. A 46-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of dyspeptic symptoms. Li . . .ver ultrasound was suggestive of lipomas, whereas the diagnosis was confirmed by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. In this presentation, we evaluated the effectiveness of ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of lipomas.
