Mickey Mouse sign
Mickey Mouse sign in the saphenofemoral junction, showing GSV, ASV, CFV
Mickey Mouse sign is a medical sign resembling the head of Mickey Mouse, the Walt Disney character. It can be seen in different regions of the body:
- the saphenofemoral junction in the groin: the common femoral vein (CFV) represents the head of Mickey Mouse while the great saphenous vein (GSV) and the accessory saphenous vein (ASV) represent the ears.[1]
- Midbrain of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).[2]
- Polyostotic Paget's disease (Paget’s disease affecting multiple bones); a bone scintigraphy with technetium-99m methylene bisphosphonate shows increased uptake at the sites of disease activity. Increased scintigraphic uptake in the body and spine of the vertebrae resembles the head of Mickey Mouse.[3]
- The portal triad in biliary ultrasound scans, with the portal vein comprising Mickey's head and the common bile duct and hepatic artery his right and left ears, respectively.[4]
- Pelvic Mickey Mouse sign: bilateral inguinal vesical hernia on transverse axial imaging.[5]
- Dysmorphic Mickey Mouse RBCs: RBCs with irregular cell walls and migration of hemoglobin into some areas creating the shape of Mickey Mouse ears.[6] The presence of these dysmorphic cells in urine may indicate intraglomerular haemorrhage.[7]
