A previously healthy 32-year-old man developed acute onset of lower extremity weakness (American Spinal Injury Association [ASIA]–motor L2-S1, grade 2/5), T8 sensory level, and loss of bowel and bladder control (ASIA Impairment Scale [AIS] C) while surfing.

متن کاملPathognomonic MR imaging findings in Balo concentric sclerosis.
Irregular, concentric zones of increased signal on T2-weighted cranial MR imaging studies may strongly suggest Balo concentric sclerosis (BCS), a rare but recognized variant of multiple sclerosis.

متن کاملTeaching NeuroImages: Striatocapsular infarct presumed due to intracranial lipoma.
A 27-year-old woman with no known risk factors for stroke presented with right hemiparesis. There was infarction of left corpus striatum on brain CT and MRI (figure 1). Imaging also showed an intracranial lipoma adjacent to the middle cerebral artery (MCA) (figure 2). We presumed that striatocapsular infarction was due to occlusion of the orifice of a lenticulostriate artery originating from th...
