MRI Findings in Patients with TMJ Click

Introduction: It has been shown that joint click, an initial and common finding in internal derangement (ID), respond to neither conservative treatment nor surgical intervention. This raises the question as to whether it must be treated in the absence of other pertinent signs and symptoms, so the aim of this study was to investigate and compare the MRI findings of TMJ in both normal subjects an...

Neurosyphilis in HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients: neuroimaging findings.

PURPOSE To evaluate and describe the neuroimaging findings of patients with neurosyphilis. METHODS The neuroimaging studies of 35 patients with documented neurosyphilis were reviewed. Diagnosis was established in 34 patients with cerebrospinal fluid for a Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test, complemented by autopsy in 1 and brain biopsy in 1.

Acute myelopathy or cauda equina syndrome in HIV-positive adults in a tuberculosis endemic setting: MRI, clinical, and pathologic findings.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cape Town is the center of an HIV-tuberculosis coepidemic. This study's aim was to highlight the importance and to describe the MR imaging features of tuberculosis in acute myelopathy and cauda equina syndrome in HIV-positive adults. To accomplish this we retrospectively reviewed the MR imaging and clinico-pathologic findings of HIV-positive patients presenting to our hos...

radiographic manifestations of tuberculosis in hiv positive patients: correlation with cd4 positive tcell count

conclusions in cd4 positive cell count below 500, the dominant radiographic pattern of tuberculosis is atypical presentation. at this level of immunity, cd 4 positive t cell dysfunction may play a deterministic role in tb radiographic manifestation. results of a total 15 patients (86.7% men and 13.3% women), 78.6% had cd4 positive counts below 350 (mean ± sd; 229.15 ± 199.45). the most common r...
