Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical-radiologic entity not yet understood, that presents with transient neurologic symptoms and particular radiological findings. Few papers show the differences between pregnant and non-pregnant patients. We review the cases of 38 women diagnosed with PRES, in order to find significant differences between pregnant (18) and non-pregna...

BACKGROUND Many chest wall deformities have a characteristic radiologic appearance that can be the basis for a definitive diagnosis. Consequently, imaging techniques have fundamental roles in the detection, location, and characterization of these disorders. OBJECTIVE The authors propose a clinical and radiographic Poland syndrome (CRPS) classification system and possible treatment algorithm f...

Intramedullary spinal cysticercosis (IMSC) is extremely rare [1] and the only radiologic findings previously reported have been those obtained by myelography [1-4]. We describe and analyze the MR features of IMSC and correlate them to the pathologic changes in the cord. This type of analysis can aid in planning the surgical approach to patients with IMSC. We believe this is the first reported c...
