Meniscal flounce on MR: correlation with arthroscopic or surgical findings

Meniscal tears: MR and arthrographic findings after arthroscopic repair.

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was performed on 29 previously repaired menisci and one conservatively treated meniscus (total, 30 menisci). Intermediate- and T1-weighted MR sequences revealed persistent signal intensity extending to an articular surface (grade 3 signal intensity) in 27 of the 30 menisci. On T2-weighted images, seven of the 30 menisci were found to contain unequivocally higher ...

Physical Examinations for Diagnosing Meniscal Injuries: Correlation with Surgical Findings

OBJECTIVE A set of five maneuvers for meniscal injuries (McMurray, Apley, Childress and Steinmann 1 and 2) was evaluated and their sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and likelihood were calculated. The same methods were applied to each test individually. METHODS One hundred and fifty-two patients of both sexes who were going to undergo videoarthroscopy on the knee were examined blindly by one...

Diagnostic pitfalls mimicking meniscal tears: MR imaging evaluation with arthroscopic correlation

Hippocampal Sclerosis: Correlation of MR Imaging Findings with Surgical Outcome

OBJECTIVE Atrophy and a high T2 signal of the hippocampus are known to be the principal MR imaging findings of hippocampal sclerosis. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not individual MRI findings correlate with surgical outcome in patients with this condition. MATERIALS AND METHODS Preoperative MR imaging findings in 57 consecutive patients with pathologically-proven hippo...

MR findings in spinal hemangioblastoma: correlation with symptoms and with angiographic and surgical findings.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To our knowledge, a detailed analysis of MR findings in spinal hemangioblastoma has not been conducted to date. Our purpose was to elucidate the MR features of this disease with special attention to tumor size, correlation with MR findings and clinical symptoms, and any differences between patients with and without von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHLD). METHODS MR images in ...
