PD is an 11-year-old girl first admitted in our hospital with bilateral eye-lid ptosis and headache. She was in good health until one month before the admission; she presented ptosis of eye-lids which was more evident on the left side, without other pathological findings. The normality of the EEG, cranial and midollar MRI, angio MRI, progstigmine test and laboratory tests excluded brain tumors,...

A combination of reporter genes for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and optical imaging can provide an additional level of noninvasive and quantitative information about biological processes occurring in deep tissues. We developed a bimodal lentiviral vector to monitor deep tissue events using MRI to detect myc-tagged human ferritin heavy chain (myc-hFTH) expression and fluorescence imaging to...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Fractures of the scaphoid are often not detected on initial plain radiographs. Conventional management of clinically suspected scaphoid fractures is cast immobilization for 2 weeks and then reassessment. Early MRI is a diagnostic alternative. We compared the cost and usefulness of the early MRI diagnostic strategy with that of conventional management. PATIENTS AND METHO...

BACKGROUND Infarct of the anterior spinal artery is the most common subtype of spinal cord infarct, and is characterized by bilateral motor deficits with spinothalamic sensory deficits. We experienced a case with atypical anterior-spinal-artery infarct that presented with bilateral hand weakness but without sensory deficits. CASE REPORT A 29-year-old man presented with sudden neck pain and bi...
