apert syndrome is a congenital craniosynostosis syndrome comprising of bilateral coronal synostosis , symmetric syndactyly of hands and feet and midface hypoplasia. we present an atypical phenotype of this syndrome with right sided unilateral coronal synostosis. however, type i apert hand and other clinical and radiological features suggestthe diagnosis. genetic analysis revealed an absence of ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is no clear description about the patterns of each mechanism of striatocapsular infarctions. The aims of our study were to elucidate differences in the distributions of lesions of acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarctions involving the striatocapsular region and to compare those following embolic striatocapsular infarctions with those originating from MCA disea...

A simple, yet powerful, algorithm for computed tomography of the solar corona is demonstrated using synthetic EUV data. A minimum of three perspectives are required. These may be obtained from STEREO/EUVI plus an instrument near Earth, e.g. TRACE or SOHO/EIT. Subject headings: methods: data analysis — Sun: corona — techniques: image processing

BACKGROUND The authors describe a new computerized tomography (CT) myelography technique with coronal and oblique coronal view to demonstrate the status of the cervical nerve rootlets involved in brachial plexus injury. They discuss the value of this technique for diagnosis of nerve root avulsion compared with CT myelography with axial view. METHODS CT myelography was performed with penetrati...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The MR appearance of white matter tracts in the hypothalamus and the role of the hypothalamus as a memory mechanism have not been sufficiently described in clinical settings. Heavily T2-weighted black-and-white reversed (T2R) images were assessed to reveal their visualization and clinical significance. METHODS One hundred healthy subjects and three patients with hypotha...

PURPOSE To investigate the phenomenon of reversible increased signal intensity of medial temporal lobe structures and cerebral neocortex seen on MR images of six patients with recent prolonged seizure activity. METHODS After excluding patients with known causes of reversible signal abnormalities (such as hypertensive encephalopathy), we retrospectively reviewed the clinical findings and MR st...

PURPOSE To present MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) findings and to determine the hepatic morphological changes of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) seen on T2-weighted fast spin echo (FSE) images. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-three patients (15 women, 8 men) with ages ranging from 17 to 80 years (median, 45.1 years) were included in the study. MR imaging was performed on a 1 Tesla MR un...

This paper proposes a Bayesian account of asymmetries found in speech perception: In many languages, listeners show greater sensitivity if a non-coronal sound (/b/, /p/, /g/, /k/) is changed to coronal sounds (/d/, /t/) than vice versa. The currently predominant explanation for these asymmetries is that they reflect innate constraints from Universal Grammar. Alternatively, we propose that the a...

Introduction Since human pituitary growth hormone (GH) became available for treatment in 1960, followed in 1985 by recombinant human GH, the diagnosis of GH deficiency (GHD) has been the subject of many debates and controversies. The diagnosis of GHD in childhood is a complicated issue involving both clinical and laboratory aspects and also health and insurance policies. Although anatomical abn...
