چکیده

A case of recurrent brain stem edema after surgical vascular decompression in a patient with neurogenic hypertension is presented. The surgical treatment resulted in occlusion of the left vertebral artery, stable blood pressure values, and no recurrence of the brain stem edema. MR imaging and MR angiography are excellent methods with which to assess patients suspected of having neurovascular hypertension, both before and after surgical treatment.

In addition, an attempt was made to evaluate whether MR images provide information regarding the continuity of the inferior alveolar nerve before surgery and regarding signal intensity changes after trauma. METHODS We analyzed preop...

Mechanism of recurrent/persistent ischemic/functional mitral regurgitation in the chronic phase after surgical annuloplasty: importance of augmented posterior leaflet tethering.

BACKGROUND Surgical annuloplasty can potentially hoist the posterior annulus anteriorly, exaggerate posterior leaflet (PML) tethering, and lead to recurrent ischemic/functional mitral regurgitation (MR). Characteristics of leaflet configurations in late postoperative MR were investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS In 30 patients with surgical annuloplasty for ischemic MR and 20 controls, the anteri...

Changes in delta ADC reflect intracranial pressure changes in craniosynostosis

BACKGROUND In patients with craniosynostosis, intracranial pressure (ICP) has been reported to increase even in the absence of overt symptoms. The early and non-invasive detection of intracranial hypertension is important for reducing the risk of abnormal brain development in pediatric patients. PURPOSE To assess whether the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of white matter during the card...
