MR imaging of a false carotid aneurysm.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two months after a gunshot wound to the head of a 12-year-old boy, MR imaging outlined an asymptomatic false aneurysm of the carotid artery. The scan's ability to image in multiple planes with noninvasive visualization of pulsatile vessel flow suggests its use for follow-up examinations of traumatic injuries to the head or neck.

Differential diagnosis of the infundibular dilation and aneurysm of internal carotid artery: assessment with fusion imaging of 3D MR cisternography/angiography.
Fusion imaging of 3D MR cisternography/angiography was used for the assessment of the vascular bulging finding detected by MR angiography from the viewpoint of the outer wall configuration of the corresponding internal carotid artery depicted by MR cisternography. With a fusion image, useful information was obtained to distinguish an infundibular dilation and enlarged origin of the normal poste...
متن کاملMR safety and imaging of neuroform stents at 3T.
The Neuroform stent is a self-expanding nitinol stent designed for use in wide-necked intracranial aneurysms. Heating and imaging artifacts were evaluated by using a porcine carotid artery aneurysm model in a 3T MR system. A suspended Neuroform stent was tested for deflection. No heating was measured, and no evidence of deflection of the stent was found. Imaging artifacts were minimal. MR imagi...

A twelve year old girl, an established case of systemic lupus erythematosus, was referred to us suffering from diplopia and nasal speech for a period of 3 months. Neurological examination was conducted which revealed a right-sided sixth nerve palsy and a pulsatile nasopharyngeal mass. Neurodiagnostic imaging studies confirmed a giant intracavernous internal carotid aneurysm. The malady of t...

A 53-year-old woman experienced a right retrobulbar pain followed by ipsilateral extraocular palsies in all directions without dilated pupils or ptosis. Because a plain head computed tomography (CT) scan obtained on her initial visit showed no abnormal findings, such as subarachnoid hemorrhage or a giant cavernous aneurysm, her condition was provisionally diagnosed as Tolosa-Hunt syndrome and e...
