    Abstract Forensic pathology increasingly uses postmortem magnetic resonance imaging (PMMRI), particularly in pediatric cases. It should be noted that each (sudden and unexpected) death of an infant or child should have a forensic approach as well. Current postmortem imaging protocols do not focus adequately on forensic queries. First, it is important to demonstrate or rule out bleeding, especially in the brain. Thus, when incorporating PMMRI, a blood sensitive sequence (T2* and/or susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI)) should always be included. Secondly, as intracranial air might mimic small focal intracerebral hemorrhages, PMMRI should be preceded by postmortem CT (PMCT) since air is easily recognizable on CT. This will be illustrated by a case of a deceased 3-week-old baby. Finally, note that postmortem scans will often be interpreted by clinical radiologists, sometimes with no specific training, which makes this case report relevant for a broader audience.

    Abstract Ecstasy is a very popular and widely used party drug with known complications such as agitation, hyperpyrexia, rhabdomyolysis or renal failure. A 16-year-old boy was admitted to our Emergency Department with a spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) after Ecstasy ingestion, complicated by myocarditis. To our knowledge this is the first case described with the combination of Ecstasy ingestion, SPM and myocarditis. Although SPM is well known in inhalation drug users who try to enhance alveolar resorption with repeated valsalva manoeuvres, it is rather rare after the ingestion of party drugs. The probable causative event is the prolonged and excessive dancing in this party drug culture. The course is usually benign, with spontaneous resorption. Emergency physicians should be aware of the risk, especially if a drug user presents with neck emphysema, difficulty in swallowing, and precordial crepitations or thoracic pain. Ecstasy, similarly to cocaine, can induce cardiac symptoms.

    Abstract Background: Ventricular thrombus formation is a frequent and potentially dangerous complication in patients with ischemic heart disease. Although transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is generally used as diagnostic technique, we explored the role of contrast-enhanced (CE)-MRI to detect ventricular thrombi.
    Methods and results: In 57 patients with acute myocardial infarction, chronic myocardial infarction, or ischemic cardiomyopathy, MRI was performed to evaluate ventricular function (CINE-MRI) and to depict presence of myocardial necrosis and/or scarring and no-reflow areas (CE-MRI). All studies were analyzed for concomitant ventricular thrombi. CE-MRI depicted 12 mural thrombi (3.1+/-2.9 cm3), located in left ventricular (LV) apex or adherent to anteroseptum, presenting as black, well-defined structures surrounded by bright contrast-enhanced blood. Thrombus formation on CE-MRI was related to larger end-diastolic volumes; lower ejection fractions; the region of delayed enhancement and lowest wall motion score, especially in left anterior descending coronary artery territory; and LV aneurysm formation. On CINE-MRI, thrombi were found in 6 patients. Nonvisualized thrombi were usually small (mean size 1.2+/-0.7 cm3). TTE depicted thrombi in 5. Nonvisualized lesions were most frequently located in LV apex and had a larger size than nonvisualized lesions on CINE-MRI (3.0+/-3.2 cm3). In 3 patients with suspected apical thrombus on TTE, MRI was normal.
    Conclusions: CE-MRI is not only an excellent technique to depict myocardial necrosis and scar tissue in patients with ischemic heart disease, but this study also suggests a better identification of LV thrombi than with presently used clinical imaging modalities, such as TTE.
