Olive Sign 🫒

👶 Did you know the “olive sign” is a classic ultrasound finding of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis?

A thickened, elongated pyloric muscle gives the characteristic olive shaped appearance. 🔎

✅ Diagnosis:

Lymphoma

Significant Findings:

CT examination demonstrates irregular, contrast-enhancing thickening of the right hemidiaphragm with internal hypodense areas. (Arrow) There is an infiltrative, contrast-enhancing process involving the right adrenal gland and retroperitoneum, extending perirenally (arrow) and along the renal vessels (Star), with encasement of the abdominal aorta (arrow), celiac
trunk, and superior mesenteric artery. Partial involvement of the descending duodenum (pars descendens) and transverse colon is noted.
Pathologically enlarged right para-aortic lymph nodes are present. (Star) There is associated subtle fat stranding and/or small fluid collections in the affected regions. A large right pleural effusion is present, with adjacent compressive atelectasis.

☢️ Imaging findings:

Ultrasound
• Large homogeneous hypoechoic retroperitoneal mass.
• Internal vascular flow demonstrated on color
Doppler imaging.
• Associated enlarged hypochoic lymph nodes may be present.

CT
• Bulky homogeneous soft-tissue mass within the retroperitoneum.
• Confluent para-aortic, aortocaval, mesenteric, and iliac lymphadenopathy.
• Encasement of major abdominal vessels without significant compression or thrombosis („sandwich sign“).
• Mild to moderate homogeneous contrast enhancement.
• Absence of significant calcification in untreated disease.
• Adjacent organs are displaced rather than invaded.

MRI
• Low to intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted images.
• Intermediate to mildly increased signal intensity on T2-weighted images.
• Marked diffusion restriction on diffusion-weighted imaging due to high cellularity.
• Relatively homogeneous enhancement following gadolinium administration.

FDG-PET/CT
• Intense FDG uptake within the retroperitoneal mass and involved lymph nodes.
• Useful for disease staging and treatment response assessment.
• May reveal additional nodal and extranodal sites of involvement not evident on conventional imaging.

Eagle syndrome refers to symptomatic elongation of the styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament. It is often bilateral. In most cases, the cause is unknown; however, the condition is sometimes associated with disorders causing heterotopic calcification such as abnormal calcium/phosphorus metabolism and chronic renal failure.
💪🏼 Cranial nerve impingement
Patients can have symptoms related to compression and irritation of cranial nerves in the region (cranial nerves V, VII, IX and X) such as:

🚩facial pain when turning the head
🚩dysphagia
🚩foreign body sensation
🚩pain on extending tongue
🚩change in voice
🚩sensation of hypersalivation
🚩tinnitus or otalgia
🚩On palpation of the styloid process tip, symptoms should ideally be exacerbated.
➡️ The patient presented to the emergency department following a traumatic brain injury, and this was identified as an incidental finding. #hcjsm

A computed tomography scanner stands not merely as a structure of metal and motion, but as a testament to mankind’s resolve to see clearly where uncertainty once prevailed. With calm precision, it gathers truths hidden beneath the surface, not to alarm, but to inform; not to judge, but to guide. In its quiet rotations, we find the union of science and service—where knowledge is pursued for the preservation of life, and technology is governed by responsibility. Let us then employ this instrument with wisdom and restraint, remembering always that every image represents a human story, and every scan carries the duty of care.
