Abstract:
The migration phenomenon is increasingly common worldwide. It is essential for radiologists to be aware of the endemic diseases of the migrant's country as well as the characteristics of the journey to be able to understand and interpret radiological findings when admitted to our centre. This article aims to use imaging from our centre to describe the most common pathologies that migrant patients present with after long journeys by boat.
