Radiological Findings of Spinal Neurocysticercosis

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula: correlation between radiological and clinical findings.

OBJECT The pathophysiology of spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs) results in perimedullary venous congestion and in turn central cord congestion. Clinically, this presents with progressive neurological dysfunctions that, if diagnosed in a timely fashion, can be at least halted and in part reversed. In SDAVFs, imaging features on MRI and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) have not be...

Radiological Findings in Active Pulmonary TB

ABSTRACT Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB), usually is a chronic disease that caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. Identification of the cases of TB is the key to control of it and radiology still plays a major role in both active and passive TB diagnosis. To assess the radiological patterns of presentation of active postprimary pulmonary TB, in this review and retrospective analysis, we studied C...

Anatomo-Radiological Patterns of Tethered Spinal Cord With Lipoma

Background & Aim: Tethered spinal cord is the most prevalent anatomical deformity, usually diagnosed in childhood. The present study aimed to describe the different anatomo-radiological patterns of the tethered spinal cord with lipoma. Methods & Materials/Patients: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study in the Neurosurgery Department of General Grand Yoff Hospital and the Neurosurgical...

Radiological findings of gallstone ileus

Isolated spinal neurocysticercosis with clinical pleomorphism.

Neurocysticercosis, involvement of the central nervous system by taenia solium, is one of the most common parasitic diseases worldwide. However, isolated spinal involvement by neurocysticercosis, either intramedullary or extramedullary, is uncommon. The authors report a case of C1-C2 intradural extramedullary neurocysticercosis in a young male that presented initially with signs of raised intra...
