Under incidental instructions, thirty-eight 2-year-olds were trained on a six-element deterministic sequence of spatial locations.

Most of these findings have no immediate medical consequences. Nevertheless, knowledge of common intracranial incidental findings and their clinical relevance is necessary to adequately discuss the findings with the patient. Based on the author...
