Aspergillosis of the central nervous system (CNS) is an uncommon infection, mainly occurring in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of neuroaspergillosis caused by Aspergillus flavus in an immunocompetent patient presenting as a space-occupying lesion of the CNS. The patient was responding favorably to voriconazole at the time of this report.

A 34-year-old woman from India, presented with episodes of confusion and progressive speech deterioration. She also had a painless neck "lump", which persisted despite antibiotics. She was diagnosed to have a space occupying lesion in the left parietal lobe, which was subsequently biopsied.

background the most common space occupying lesions of the fetal thorax are congenital diaphragmatic hernia (cdh), congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (ccam), and bronchopulmonary sequestration (bps). although applications of prenatal mri have been vastly improved in the recent years, its use in the assessment of space occupying lesions of the fetal chest differs among centers. objectives...

The cerebellar infarction resulting from supratentorial craniotomy is uncommon event and its management has been controversial. After removal of space occupying lesion on right frontal area, two cases of remote cerebellar infarctions occurred. We reviewed each cases and the techniques to manage such complications are discussed. Early extraventricular catheter insertion and midline suboccipital ...

This paper describes an unusual case of parasthesia in the medial two fingers of the hand in a 56-yearold lady. MRI suggested a space occupying lesion and on exploration this proved to be a venous malformation causing a pressure neuropathy of the ulnar nerve.

S25 ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND / VOLUME 6 / SUPPLEMENT 1 / AUGUST 2017 report was suggestive of neuroendocrine tumor, Grade 2. A DOTA scan was done for defining extent which revealed DOTA avid lesion in the right middle lung, mediastinal and abdominal lymph nodes, multiple liver space-occupying lesions, and bilateral bulky adrenal. He was finally diagnosed as lung neuroendocrine tumor with dissemina...

We propose a method for brain atlas deformation in presence of large space-occupying tumors or lesions, based on an a priori model of lesion growth that assumes radial expansion of the lesion from its central point. Atlas-based methods have been of limited use for segmenting brains that have been drastically altered by the presence of large space-occupying lesions. Our approach involves four st...

A 59-year-old female with dysphagia presented to our clinic. In childhood, she underwent colonic interposition due to anastomotic stricture after a previous proximal gastrectomy for gastric ulcer perforation. Imaging studies revealed a space-occupying lesion obstructing the distal interposed colon. At surgery, completion gastrectomy with segmental colectomy was carried out, and Roux-en-Y coloen...

Introduction: Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a potential tool for differential diagnosis between brain abscesses and noninfectious lesion such as a primary brain tumor, lymphoma, brain metastasis, and tuberculoma. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the role of MRS in imaging of intracranial space occupying lesion and differentiate between benign and malignant conditions and correlate be...
