Outcomes in mothers with rheumatic diseases and their offspring workshop

Correspondence to Autumn Neville; [email protected] ABSTRACT This conference report describes six presentations that were given during a Canadian Institutes for Health Research-funded workshop. The goal of the workshop was to discuss key knowledge gaps in the study of outcomes in mothers with rheumatic diseases and their offspring. Presentations focused on epidemiological and methodologi...

Magnetic resonance imaging study of the craniocervical junction.

PURPOSE To confirm the accuracy of the standard parameters of Chamberlain's line, McGregor's line, McRae's line, and Ranawat's line in the diagnosis of basilar impression in a normal Asian population using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the craniocervical junction, and to evaluate the use of MRI in the initial diagnosis of basilar impression. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed MRI...

Incidence of basilar invagination in patients with tonsillar herniation? A case control craniometrical study.

A retrospective case-control study based on craniometrical evaluation was performed to evaluate the incidence of basilar invagination (BI). Patients with symptomatic tonsillar herniation treated surgically had craniometrical parameters evaluated based on CT scan reconstructions before surgery. BI was diagnosed when the tip of the odontoid trespassed the Chamberlain's line in three different thr...

Role of dynamic computed tomography scans in patients with congenital craniovertebral junction malformations

AIM To evaluate the role of dynamic computed tomography (CT) scan imaging in diagnosing craniovertebral junction (CVJ) instability in patients with congenital CVJ malformations. METHODS Patients with symptomatic congenital CVJ malformations who underwent posterior fossa decompression and had a preoperative dynamic CT scan in flexion and extended position were included in this study. Measureme...
