FIG. 1. — Case 1: Brain MRI FLAIR (A) and T2 (B) sequences showing bilateral honeycomb-like pattern involving both capsulo-lenticulostriatal areas and thalami corresponding to dilated VRS. Case 2: Brain MRI T1 (C) and T2 (D) sequences showing left hemispheric fronto-parietal parasagital dilated VRS. Virchow-Robin spaces (VRS) are interstitial fluidfilled pia-lined extensions of the subarachnoid...

The superior cerebellar artery (SCA) shows the least variable course and the lowest incidence of anatomical variations among cerebellar arteries. In the present study, an 84-year-old woman was affected by a cerebellar infarction which underwent haemorrhagic evolution in the following days. Neuroimaging investigations also showed a probable double origin of the left SCA. Neuropathological examin...

An unusual primary adenomatoid tumour arising in the normal liver is described. Hepatectomy was performed, and the patient is alive and free of disease 1 year postsurgery. Grossly, the tumour showed a haemorrhagic cut surface with numerous microcystic structures. Histological examination revealed cystic or angiomatoid spaces of various sizes lined by cuboidal, low-columnar, or flattened epithel...

BACKGROUND Attempts at gene therapy for the pulmonary manifestations of Cystic Fibrosis have relied mainly on airway delivery. However the efficiency of gene transfer and expression in the airway epithelia has not reached therapeutic levels. Access to epithelial cells is not homogenous for a number of reasons and the submucosal glands cannot be reached via the airways. PRESENTATION We propose...

A 68-year-old man was referred to our hospital with tension-type headaches and a 1-year history of dementia. On neurologic examination, he had ideomotor apraxia and incomplete Gerstmann syndrome that was characterized by acalculia, agraphia, and finger agnosia. On imaging, multiple cystic lesions reported as "unusually dilated perivascular spaces" were observed along the medullary arteries in t...

Hydatid cyst (HC) is a parasitic disease that may involve many organs, especially the lung and the liver. Pulmonary artery location of the hydatid cyst is extremely rare, but it may cause life-threatening complications. We report a case of a hydatid cyst that completely filled the left main pulmonary artery and its distal part without cardiac involvement. Thoracic computed tomography showed fil...

Thyroglossal duct cysts are one of the most common cervical congenital anomalies. They occur along thyroid migration tract, which extends from base tongue through midline neck to level cricoid cartilage. present as a mass and closely associated with hyoid bone. Here, we describe case where two cystic structures were found just inferior gland bone, suggesting double thyroglossal cyst. It is impo...

BACKGROUND Accumulating evidence indicates a potential role of adventitial vasa vasorum (VV) dysfunction in the pathophysiology of restenosis. However, characterization of VV vascularization in restenotic arteries with primary lesions is still missing. In this study, we quantitatively evaluated the response of adventitial VV to vascular injury resulting from balloon angioplasty in diseased arte...
