According to some theories, obstruction of CSF flow produces a pressure drop in the subarachnoid space in accordance with the Bernoulli theorem that explains the development of syringomyelia below the obstruction. However, Bernoulli's principle applies to inviscid stationary flow unlike CSF flow. Therefore, we performed a series of computational experiments to investigate the relationship...... hiện toàn bộ

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the imaging modality of choice for the evaluation of the brachial plexus due to its superior soft tissue resolution and multiplanar capabilities. The evaluation of the brachial plexus however represents a diagnostic challenge for the clinician and the radiologist. The imaging assessment of the brachial plexus, in particular, has been traditionally chall...... hiện toàn bộ

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant multisystem disorder which affects the skin, brain, heart and other organs. It is caused by mutations of two genes: TSC1 (on chromosome 9q34) or TSC2 (on 16p13.3). 70% of cases are sporadic with new mutations. This study aimed to highlight the utility of prenatal MRI as an adjunct imaging modality in the diagnosis and prognosis of ...... hiện toàn bộ
Vein of Galen aneurysmal dilatation is generally considered an abnormal deep-seated arteriovenous shunt that drains into the Vein of Galen. We herein present three pediatric cases of vein of Galen aneurysmal dilatation (VGAD). The locations of these shunts are anatomically different from just parenchymal as previously reported, but are also cisternal and intraventricular. Clinical symptom...... hiện toàn bộ

We used continuous electroencephalography-functional magnetic resonance imaging (EEG-fMRI) to identify the linkage between the “epileptogenic” and the “irritative” area in a patient with symptomatic epilepsy (cavernoma, previously diagnosed and surgically treated), i.e. a patient with a well known “epileptogenic area”, and to increase the possibility of a non invasive pre-surgical evaluat...... hiện toàn bộ
Objective The conventional arteriovenous malformation (AVM) Onyx embolization technique is the extrusion Onyx injection technique, with blood-flow control after a certain distance casting through the head end of the microcatheter. This method has elevated periprocedural AVM bleeding complications. In this study, the authors reported safety and efficacy of...... hiện toàn bộ
Spinal cord infarcts have been reported in young healthy patients following contact with the water on the beaches of North Carolina. Although their exact cause is not known, contact with a toxic marine animal has been proposed. We describe a patient who suffered a “seastroke” and review the pertinent literature.
