The MR appearance of CSF pulsations in the spinal canal.
We investigated the MR appearance and incidence of low-signal areas within the CSF of the spinal canal. Nonuniform areas of decreased signal intensity in intracranial CSF have been named the CSF flow-void sign (CFVS) and appear to be due to spin dephasing secondary to pulsatile CSF motion. Similar areas are seen in the spinal canal. The MR scans of 50 randomly selected patients, constituting a ...
متن کاملRare Nonneoplastic Cysts of Pancreas
Pancreatic cysts represent a small proportion of pancreatic diseases, but their incidence has been recently increasing. Most pancreatic cysts are identified incidentally, causing a dilemma for both clinicians and patients. In contrast to ductal adenocarcinoma, neoplastic pancreatic cysts may be cured by resection. In general, pancreatic cysts are classified as neoplastic or non-neoplastic cysts...
متن کاملLumbar CSF Drainage for Spinal Cord Protection
As disease awareness and diagnostic modalities continue to improve, the prevalence of thoracic aortic disease (aneurysm and dissection) is increasing, affecting up to 16.3 individuals per 100,000 per year. 1,2 However lifesaving surgery may be, paraplegia remains one of the most devastating complications of thoracoabdominal aortic surgery and is associated with a significant increase in both mo...
متن کاملEndoscopic Transsphenoidal Cisternostomy for Nonneoplastic Sellar Cysts
Background and Importance. Sellar arachnoid cysts and Rathke's cleft cysts are benign lesions that produce similar symptoms, including optochiasmatic compression, pituitary dysfunction, and headache. Studies have reported the use of various surgical treatment methods for treating these symptoms, preventing recurrence, and minimizing operative complications. However, the postoperative cerebrospi...
متن کاملNeurenteric cysts of the spinal cord mimicking multiple sclerosis.
A 54-year-old man died following a 20-year course of intermittent neurologic symptoms. He carried a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, with most severe involvement thought to be in the spinal cord. At autopsy, two neurenteric (enterogenous) cysts were found to indent the anterior spinal cord -- at the T4 and T11 cord levels. Partial diplomyelia was present in the lumbo-sacral cord. These findings...
