Effect of epidural corticosteroid injection on magnetic resonance imaging findings
Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine is the preferred diagnostic tool for pathologic conditions affecting the spine. However, in patients receiving epidural corticosteroid injection (ESI) for treatment of spinal diseases, there is a possibility of misreading of MR images because of air or fluid in the epidural space after the injection. Therefore, we defined the characterist...
متن کاملEpidural cavernous hemangioma of the spine: magnetic resonance imaging findings
Congenital abnormalities not related to the fusion site are observed in 10% to 20% of cases of conjoined twins. Diaphragmatic hernia such as the one observed in the present case is one of the described findings. Upper eyelid coloboma that was also identified in the present case is considered to be a rare abnormality. Thus, the correct determination of the type of imperfect twinning as well as o...
متن کاملEffects of early corticosteroid treatment on magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography findings in giant cell arteritis.
OBJECTIVE To compare the impact of initial corticosteroid treatment on high-resolution MRI and colour-coded duplex sonography (CCDS) findings in patients with GCA (temporal). METHODS Sensitivity and specificity of CCDS and high-resolution contrast-enhanced MRI studies of 59 patients with suspected GCA were retrospectively analysed. Patients were grouped according to the duration of steroid tr...
متن کاملPleural endometriosis: findings on magnetic resonance imaging.
Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disorder associated with pelvic pain and infertility, primarily affecting women of reproductive age. Thoracic endometriosis affects the pulmonary parenchyma or pleura. We report the cases of two patients with pleural endometriosis who presented with recurrent pneumothorax. In both cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest showed right hydropneu...
