Case Reports
A rare but radiographically recognizable cause of an irreducible hip fracture-dislocation.
Hip dislocations are emergently reduced to decrease the chance of avascular necrosis of the femoral head. However, in some situations, the dislocation may be irreducible by a closed technique. ⋯ This rare type of irreducible fracture-dislocation demonstrates unique physical and associated radiographic findings. These fractures are important to recognize early, as attempts at closed reduction can lead to femoral neck fractures.

Case Reports
Petrosquamosal sinus in the temporal bone as a cause of pulsatile tinnitus: a radiological detection.
We report a newly evidenced cause of venous pulsatile tinnitus--the petrosquamosal sinus in the temporal bone. We also present the case of a 45-year-old woman who presented with an incapacitating objective pulsatile tinnitus in the left ear for 10 years. The radiology evidenced a petrosquamosal sinus in the air cells of the left temporal bone. The symptoms of pulsatile tinnitus disappeared completely after surgical treatment.

To evaluate the contribution of transoral ultrasonography (TUS) in the diagnosis and treatment of peritonsillar abscess. ⋯ TUS allows the differentiation of peritonsillar abscess from cellulitis, hence to avoid an unnecessary invasive procedure in the case of a peritonsillar cellulitis.
