“Enlarged parietal foramina” is a congenital malformation
with autosomal dominant inheritance. The condition is
usually self-limiting and doesn’t require any treatment.
However, it may also be associated with encephalocele,
vascular anomalies or may be a part of syndrome. We
present a case of enlarged parietal foramina in a child and
discuss its imaging findings and the associated intracranial
vascular malformations.

2.IgG4 related orbit disease - An unusual cause of an orbital mass
The Medical Journal of Malaysia 2018;73(6):415-417
IgG4-related disease is a newly described systemic
autoimmune and allergic disease, characterized
histologically by a fibroinflammatory response with IgG4
plasma cells. It was initially described as affecting the
pancreas, but commonly involves the head and neck region
as well. While a biopsy is essential for definitive diagnosis,
cross sectional imaging may be the initial modality which
may suggest this entity. We describe a case of
pathologically proven IgG4 related disease which highlights
some key radiologic features seen in this entity. Our case
highlights some key radiological features of IgG4- related
disease in the head and neck, with involvement of the
lacrimal glands, pituitary gland and cranial nerves on CT.
