Teaching NeuroImages: Distinct neuroimaging features of fucosidosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 5-year-old girl, the product of nonconsanguineous marriage, presented with early-onset intellectual disability and autistic features. There was no regression, seizures, or vision or hearing impairment. She had normal head circumference, coarse facies, angiokeratomas, and lower limb rigidity. She had no cherryred spot or hepatosplenomegaly. Her 2-year-old brother had similar features with right hemidystonia. The MRI brain findings (figure), positive urine oligosaccharides, and absent -L-fucosidase activity in plasma and leukocytes confirmed the diagnosis of fucosidosis, an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder with poor cognitive outcome.1,2 Mucopolysaccharidosis-like phenotype, angiokeratomas, oligosacchariduria, and classic MRI findings suggest fucosidosis.

Teaching neuroimages: neurocysticercosis with subretinal cyst.
A 30-year-old woman presented with headache and diminution of vision of 2 weeks' duration. Visual acuity was finger counting at 1 meter in the right eye. Fundus examination showed a subretinal cyst (figure 1A). Neurologic examination was normal. Neuroimaging revealed neurocysticercosis (figure 2A). Ultrasound orbit showed subretinal cysticercosis (figure 2B). The patient was started on steroids...
متن کاملPreserving Privacy in Structural Neuroimages
Evolving technology has enabled large-scale collaboration for neuroimaging data. For high resolution structural neuroimages, these data are inherently identifiable and must be given the same privacy considerations as facial photographs. To preserve privacy, identifiable metadata should be removed or replaced, and the voxel data de-identified to remove facial features by applying skull stripping...
متن کاملTeaching NeuroImages: Macrocerebellum and optic atrophy in a young boy.
A 2-year-old boy presented with delayed motor skills and language since birth. Family history disclosed consanguineous parents. Examination showed global muscular hypotonia, optic atrophy, oculomotor apraxia, and normal head circumference. Brain MRI showed optic atrophy and macrocerebellum (figure). Laboratory tests revealed deficient activity of a-L-iduronidase in peripheral blood leukocytes a...
متن کاملEnhancing Functional Neuroimages: Wavelet Denoising as an Alternative to Gaussian Smoothing
We present a general wavelet-based denoising scheme for functional neuroimages and compare it to Gaussian smoothing, the standard method in functional neuroimaging. We adapted WaveLab thresholding routines to 2D data, and tested their effect on the signal-to-noise ratio of noisy images. In a simulated time series test, we also investigated the shapes of detected activations after denoising. key...
متن کاملTeaching NeuroImages: the full-blown neuroimaging of Wernicke encephalopathy.
A 55-year-old man presented in a global confusional state and after 24 hours fell into deep coma. Laboratory findings, including alcohol level, were normal. MRI showed abnormalities typical of Wernicke encephalopathy (figure).1,2 Thiamine was administered immediately, but the patient died 2 weeks later. The diagnosis was confirmed by measurement of blood thiamine level (19.3 ng/ mL; normal rang...
