MR in diffuse angiomatosis.

Diffuse dermal angiomatosis of the breast.

BACKGROUND Diffuse dermal angiomatosis is rare and usually considered a variant of reactive angioendotheliomatosis. It generally involves the extremities of patients with severe vascular disease and other comorbidities. Two patients with breast involvement have been described; however, neither had a relevant medical history or a vaso-occlusive disorder, but both had large pendulous breasts, and...

Diffuse dermal angiomatosis due to an iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula.

Sir, Reactive angio-endotheliomatosis (RAE) is a rare skin condition characterized by a diffuse proliferation of endothelial cells within the vascular lumina with secondary intravascular thrombi, resulting in obliteration of involved blood vessels. Clinical features are variable with both generalized and localized forms recognized (1, 2). We describe here a patient with Wegener’s granulomatosis...

DIFFUSE CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT ON MR IMAGES IN BRAIN INFARCTION: \"PSEUDOTUMOR SIGN\"

The purpose of this study was to describe the pattern of diffuse enhancement seen on contrast-enhanced MR images in patients with subacute infarction. A retrospective study of 104 patients with the diagnosis of stroke who had undergone contrast-enhanced MR scanning within2 weeks of the inciting neurological event revealed 66 patients who demonstrated different patterns of contrast-enhanceme...

Bilateral neonatal Sturge-Weber-Dimitri disease: CT and MR findings.

The CT and MR features of cortical calcification and meningeal angiomatosis are typical of Sturge-Weber-Dimitri disease but are unusual in children less than 1 year of age. This case describes a child presenting with both of these features bilaterally in the neonatal period and represents an unusual presentation of this disorder.

Sturge-Weber syndrome: cranial MR imaging with Gd-DTPA.

PURPOSE To study the role of Gd-DTPA in cranial MR of patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome. METHODS AND MATERIALS Seven patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome, ages 3 months to 36 years, were evaluated with unenhanced and contrast-enhanced (Gd-DTPA) MR imaging. Correlation was made to cranial CT in five patients. RESULTS MR findings included (in decreasing frequency): pial angiomatosis, cerebra...
