objective cerebral palsy (cp), a common static motor neurological disorder of childhood with wide spectrum of underlying etiologies, can be demonstrated with different neuro imaging techniques. we undertook this study to investigate the diagnosis of intracranial lesions in children with cp and its correlation between clinical deficits and neuroradiological findings. materials and methods in thi...

epilepsy is an important disease with a cumulative incidence of 3% all over the life and more than half of them are started from childhood. in this study we surveyed magnetic resonance imaging (mri) findings in epileptic children and its relation with clinical and demographic findings in order to find better diagnostic and treatment modalities for these children in the future. in this cross sec...

background: to analyze the characteristic performance of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (mrs) and susceptibility weighted imaging (swi) in cerebral alve-olar echinococcosis (cae). methods: we retrospectively analyzed 10 clinical-identified cae cases mr per-formance, and summarized the mrs and swi performance of cae. results: the 10 cases of cae all had the history of primary hae, among who 6 c...

background imaging plays a critical role not only in the detection, but also in the characterization of lung masses as benign or malignant. objectives to determine the diagnostic accuracy of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (mri) in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant lung masses. patients and methods ninety-four masses were included in this prospective study. five dynamic seri...

background: magnetic resonance cholangiography (mrc) has gained popularity for diagnosing primary sclerosing cholangitis (psc). we determined the accuracy of mrc compared with endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (erc) for diagnosing psc. materials and methods: this retrospective case-control study was conducted on patients referred to an outpatient gastroenterology clinic from 2001 to 2013. p...

we report a rare genetic disorder case of neuroacanthocytosis with clinical profile (oro-lingual-facial abnormal involuntary movements, neuropathy) and typical magnetic resonance findings (cerebral atrophy, bilateral caudate nuclei atrophy with dilated anterior horns of the lateral ventricles), positive family history in his brother and acanthocytosis in peripheral blood smear.

abstract radionuclide cisternography (rnc) is of potential value in pointing out the sites of cerebrospinal fluid (csf) leakage in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (sih). in the current report, we present two patients who underwent rnc for suspected csf leakage. both patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and rnc for evaluation. we describe a simple method to incr...
