DOI: 10.1590/S1679-45082014AI2931 A previous healthy 7-year-old boy presenting occipital headache and constantly wake up at night with 1 week of evolution was admitted to our emergency service. He had linear hypopigmented macules along the lines of Blaschko affecting hemithorax and left upper limbs (Figure 1). The patient also had macrocrania, antimongoloid palpebral fissure, changes in left ey...

The aim of our work was to evaluate the early presence of white matter changes on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in young asymptomatic children of patients with full-blown cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) in whom DNA analysis revealed a Notch3 Cys146Tyr missense mutation on chromosome 19. Brain MRI was performed in all subjec...

PURPOSE To characterize the MR findings in children with spastic tetraplegia by gestational age at birth and perinatal history. METHODS Thirty-four children, 19 boys and 15 girls, with spastic tetraplegia whose brain damage occurred in the prenatal or perinatal period were included in the study. Eighteen were born at term or later and 16 were premature. Axial proton density- and T2-weighted i...

PURPOSE To describe the gadolinium-enhanced MR findings of Rathke cleft cyst correlate them with the surgical findings, and define those preoperative findings that differentiate this lesion from other sellar and juxtasellar tumors. METHODS We studied 18 patients who were diagnosed as having Rathke cleft cyst pathologically. These patients were imaged with T1- and T2-weighted coronal and sagit...

MR findings in 13 patients who underwent corpus callosotomy for medically intractable seizures were reviewed. Preoperative MR studies were available in nine patients: five showed at least one morphological and/or MR signal abnormality including corpus callosal thinning (four cases), cerebellar atrophy (two cases), cortical atrophy (two cases), and periventricular hyperintensity on T2-weighted i...

INTRODUCTION Intracranial dermoid cystic tumors account for <1% of all intracranial masses. CASE REPORT A 52-year-old male, having headaches, nausea and is presented with a history of 2 episodes of new onset seizures. On presentation, the patient had a normal physical exam, including a complete neurological and cranial nerve exam. METHODS Precontrast MRI; TSE/T2Wsequence in axial/coronal pl...

BACKGROUND Manual segmentations of the whole intracranial vault in high-resolution magnetic resonance images are often regarded as very time-consuming. Therefore it is common to only segment a few linearly spaced intracranial areas to estimate the whole volume. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate how the validity of intracranial volume estimates is affected by the chosen interpolat...

The MR imaging appearance of neuroepithelial cysts in the lateral ventricle is reported. Two cases of proven and two of presumed intraventricular neuroepithelial cysts are presented. In one case, MR observations documented spontaneous regression of a large intraventricular cyst. Theories regarding the origin of neuroepithelial cysts are briefly reviewed. Standard T1- and T2-weighted spin-echo p...

introduction: the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the coronal seal of four temporary filling materials, coltosol, zonalin, zamherir, and intermediate restorative material (irm) by the india ink dye penetration test. materials and methods: endodontic access preparations were prepared in 120 extracted intact human premolars. the teeth were randomly divided into six groups including ...
