Solitary Head and Neck Cysticercosis: A Series of Rare Cases
Introduction: Cysticercosis is a disease which is caused by the infestation of the larvae Taenia solium, with humans acting as an intermediate host instead of a definitive host. Head and neck involvement including maxillofacial and oral involvement of cysticercosis is quite rare. Case Report: We report a series of rare cases of cysticercosis of the head and neck region encountered in a tertia...
متن کاملReproducibility of quantitative cerebral T2 relaxometry, diffusion tensor imaging, and 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 3.0 Tesla.
OBJECTIVES The reproducibility of quantitative cerebral T2 relaxometry, diffusion tensor imaging, and H magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopic imaging was assessed on a clinical 3.0 T MR system. MATERIALS AND METHODS Repeated measurements in 10 healthy volunteers were used to establish the reproducibility of quantitative measures derived from different quantitative MR techniques, namely the T2...
متن کاملT2 relaxometry of the hippocampus at 3T.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE T2 mapping is useful for identifying and quantifying abnormalities of the hippocampus and amygdala. It is particularly useful in the presurgical evaluation of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and for the identification of bilateral hippocampal sclerosis (HS). The purpose of this study was to implement and validate a dual-echo method for producing coronal T2 maps with ...
متن کاملA Case of Cerebral Cysticercosis in Thailand
Cysticercosis and sparganosis are not uncommon parasitic infections in the developing world. Central nervous system infection by both cestodes can present with neurological signs and symptoms, such as seizure and mass effect, including brain hernia. Early detection and accurate diagnosis can prevent a fatal outcome. Histological examinations of brain tissues can confirm the diagnosis of cerebra...
متن کاملHippocampal T2 relaxometry in epilepsy: past, present, and future.
Mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) is the most common known pathologic substrate of epilepsy. Accurate preoperative identification of unilateral MTS bymagnetic resonance (MR) imaging has had a tremendous impact on the clinical management of medically refractory seizures. It was well known in the pre-MR era that obtaining a temporal lobectomy specimen that contained MTS conferred a higher probabili...
