OBJECTIVE To review our experience with foregut duplication cysts of the anterior tongue, an unusual and rarely encountered mass in this location. DESIGN A retrospective review of patients with anterior tongue foregut duplication cysts identified between 1990 and 2000. SETTING Academic, tertiary care children's medical center. PATIENTS Six pediatric patients (5 boys and 1 girl) ranging in...

Pineal cysts occur in all ages, predominantly in adults in the fourth decade of life. In series of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies, the prevalence of pineal cysts ranged between 1.3% and 4.3% of patients examined for various neurologic reasons and up to 10.8% of asymptomatic healthy volunteers. The diagnosis of pineal cyst is usually established by MRI with defined radiological criteri...

Purpose. To demonstrate capabilities and features in spleen pathology diagnostics based on clinical experience of Botkin City Hospital. Materials methods. The analysis 89 patients with abnormalities was performed the term from 01/2014 till 08/2020. All underwent computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast enhancing. cases verified surgically clinically. Results. Th...

Cervical cord damage is likely to contribute to the accumulation of disability in multiple sclerosis (MS) and can be quantified in vivo using MRI. We used conventional and diffusion tensor (DT) MRI to: (a) define the temporal evolution of intrinsic tissue injury and atrophy in the cervical cord from MS patients, (b) investigate how these two aspects of cord damage are interrelated and (c) asses...

INJURY to the spinal cord is devastating and catastrophic. Its unfortunate sequelae have been recognized since early Egyptian times [l]. Since damage to the spinal cord almost always results in permanent loss of sensory and motor functions below the level of the injury, the best solution to the problem of spinal cord injuries is prevention. There are no published data on the incidence of trauma...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of Benign Vocal Fold Lesion (polyp, cysts, nodules) and Leukoplakia in Korea. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data from the 2008 to 2011 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, which were cross-sectional survey of the civilian noninstitutionalized population of South Korea. A survey team that included an otolaryngology re...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recent experimental data have shown that an increase of excitatory amino acids and the initiation of inflammatory responses within the injured spinal cord may play a role in post-traumatic syringomyelia. The purpose of this study was to determine whether diffusion-weighted MR imaging with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps could provide earlier evidence of spinal c...

BACKGROUND Synchronous spinal intradural ependymal cysts and sacral Tarlov cysts in adult onset tethered cord syndrome are extremely rare. CASE DESCRIPTION A 23-year-old male presented with back pain radiating into both lower extremities, accompanied by acute onset of gait difficulty and sphincter dysfunction. Magnetic resonance imaging identified a low lying conus medullaris, syringomyelia w...

PURPOSE Intraosseous cysts of carpal bones are frequently observed on routine imaging examinations of the wrist. There is controversy regarding the underlying pathogenesis of these cysts. In this study, we aimed to investigate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance of intracarpal bone cysts in correlation with histologic analysis, using cadaveric wrists. METHODS Five freshly frozen c...
