Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Case reports are waived from specific approval by the Institutional Ethical Board at our institution. However, consent for publication was obtained from the patients.
: Case 1: The patient provided written consent. Case 2: The patient is deceased. The first author communicated with the patient’s spouse by phone. She provided verbal consent for an anonymized case description and imaging documentation and approved this to be written down. She did not wish to be involved in additional paperwork for this, having given such consent verbally. The authors feel it would be inconsiderate or insensitive to contact the patient’s spouse again for the same matter. Case 3: The patient is deceased, but the family provided written consent.
: The authors declare that they have no competing interests.
