this contrast enhance MRI shows garland like enhancement of the lesion...confirming it to be a glioblastoma multiforme
the precontrast MR sequences reveal a heterogenous intensity lesion involving the left temporal lobe.
the lesion is compressing the adjacent lateral ventricle
there is significant mass effect and midline shift
there is also peri lesional edema.
the mixed intensity appearance wity midline crossing suggested it to be GBM..
the postcontrast sequences confirmed the diagnosis by showing ring enhancement in a garland-like pattern

CATAMENIAL PNEUMOTHORAX
Catamenial pneumothorax is the most common form of thoracic endometriosis syndrome, which also includes catamenial hemothorax, catamenial hemoptysis, catamenial hemopneumothorax and endometriosis lung nodules, as well as some exceptional presentations
Endometriosis can attach to the lung, forming chocolate-like cysts. Generally the parietal pleura is involved, but the lung itself, the visceral layer, the diaphragm, and more rarely the tracheobronchial tree may also be afflicted.

PNEUMOPERICARDIUM
craniopharyngioma
EMPYEMA WITH AIR POCKETS
AGRESSIVE MEININGIOMA
HEMANGIOMA LIVER
first a scan is taken without contrast (shown in the lower two scans)
--there is a hypodense lesion involving the right lobe of liver
---the lesion shows areas of hypodensity
---post contrast scan shows--in 2-3 min..only peripheral enhancement
----followed by a centripetal enhancement of the lesion by contrast
