چکیده

the formation of vascular microcalcifications. Presence of the sign has been correlated to age and severity of kidney disease, but not to the appearance of ischaemic stroke.5 The case we present confirms that T1-weighted images of bilateral pulvinar hyperintensity secondary to calcification are not pathognomonic for Fabry disease. Researchers require further studies to evaluate the frequency of this sign, and its association with Fabry disease, in populations not previously diagnosed with Fabry disease. This will help us ascertain the diagnostic utility of this radiological sign in establishing ischaemic stroke aetiology.

Extradural cavernous hemangioma represent 4% of all spinal epidural lesions. Modern diagnostic imaging techniques are increasing ...
