Global Radiology CME

Patients with ectopia lentis typically present with visual acuity problems but can also present with eye pain if secondary to trauma [2]. Radiography has no role in orbital injuries due to its lower sensitivity for soft tissues [4]. Anterior dislocation of the lens is serious as it may lead to angle-closure glaucoma [3,4].

2 Ossification of vertebral ligaments present as the dagger sign on X-ray, while ossification of the outer fibers of the annulus fibrosus presents as a bamboo spine. 5 As in this case, nearly 67% of chalk stick fractures from AS present with neurologic deficits. Curr Rheumatol Rep. 2011;13(5):409-415.

Is the diagnostic validity of conventional radiography for Lisfranc injury acceptable?
