Repeated cranial computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging scans in two cases of eclampsia.

Cranial diabetes insipidus secondary to arrested hydrocephalus.

An unusual case is described linking cranial diabetes insipidus with longstanding arrested hydrocephalus. The latter was demonstrated by computed tomographic (CT) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) scans and cerebrospinal fluid pressure measurements. The increasing use of CT and NMR scans may result in this association of cranial diabetes and hydrocephalus being better defined.

Repeatability of Detecting Visual Cortex Activity in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Introduction As functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is too expensive and time consuming, its frequent implementation is difficult. The aim of this study is to evaluate repeatability of detecting visual cortex activity in fMRI. Materials and Methods In this study, 15 normal volunteers (10 female, 5 male; Mean age±SD: 24.7±3.8 years) attended. Functional magnetic resonance images were ob...

Bimodal magnetic resonance imaging-computed tomography nanoprobes: A Review

Bimodal imaging combines two imaging modalities in order to benefit from their advantages and compensate the limitations of each modality. This technique could accurately detect diseases for diagnostic purposes. Nanoparticles simultaneously offer diagnostic data via various imaging modalities owing to their unique properties. Moreover, bimodal nanoprobes could be incorporated into theranostic s...

Endoscopic Management of Meningoencephaloceles and other Cranial Base Defects using Septal Cartilage

Objective: To study and analyze 40 cases managed endoscopically of meningoencephaloceles and other cranial base defects using septal cartilage. Design: Prospective, interventional case series. Materials and methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology SMS Medical College from 2006 to 2011. The study consisted of evaluations of self-reported and referred patients wh...
