Intradiploic meningoencephalocele is rarely found in adulthood. It is thought to be postraumatic and must be differenciated from congenital encephalocele. Imaging findings, particularly with Magnetic Resonance Imaging, are useful in determining the various linings and contents of this intradiploic defect.

Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a systemic vasculitis of small and medium size arteries. The purpose of this study is to evaluate imaging findings, especially angiographic features, of 17 patients with abdominal involvement from polyarteritis nodosa. ⋯ Involvement of gastrointestinal and renal arteries is frequent in polyarteritis nodosa. The diagnosis of PAN should be considered when multiple small-sized aneurysms are present at angiography even if biopsy is negative.
