متن کاملDiffusion weighted imaging in acute stroke and stroke mimics: reliability analysis, radiological findings and clinical significance
Background: To assess the reliability and to determine the sensitivity and specificity of Diffusion Weighted Images (DWI) in detection of acute infarcts in patients whose initial CT and conventional MR-sequences did not explain the patients stroke symptoms. The second aim was to find out if DWI provides additional information when it was performed within 2 days of onset of symptoms. Patients an...
متن کاملPathogenesis, clinical and radiological findings and treatment

This unrelentlessly progressive disease affects many hundreds of families all over the world but is not well studied in Brazil. This manuscript reviews pathogenetic, cl...
