Neonatal parenchymal bronchogenic cysts (BC) are a very rare congenital anomaly. Usually patients with BC are born with severe respiratory distress or cardiovascular insufficiency are asymptomatic till they grow up to older children and adults. We report a case of neonatal BC with a prenatal diagnosis of congenital tracheobronchial cystic anomalies of the right lung. The cyst was 36 mm in diame...

    Abstract   The Intraparenchymal schwannomas are very rare tumors with only 52 reported   cases . We describe a 38 years old man with eight months history of poorly controlled   seizures despite of medical therapy. On brain CT scan a 1.5 x 1.5 cm hypodense enhancing lesion was seen in right posterior-inferior frontal lobe. On brain MRI the lesion   was hypointense in T1 and hyperintense in T...

BACKGROUND The prognostic value of early magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in dogs after traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains unclear. OBJECTIVES Determine whether MRI findings are associated with prognosis after TBI in dogs. ANIMALS Fifty client-owned dogs. METHODS Retrospective study of dogs with TBI that underwent 1.5T MRI within 14 days after head trauma. MRI evaluators were blinded to...

INTRODUCTION A primary intraparenchymal meningioma located in the subcortical region of the brain without a dural attachment is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report showing that meningioma can mimic cavernous malformations. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 42-year-old German man who presented to our institution with seizure. Both computed tomography...

Meningiomas are the most common primary nonneuroglial extra-axial neoplasms, which commonly present as spherical or oval masses with a dural attachment. Meningiomas without dural attachment are rare and, according to their locations, are classified into 5 varieties, including intraventricular, deep Sylvain fissure, pineal region, intraparenchymal, or subcortical meningiomas. To the best of our ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Postischemic cerebral inflammation may contribute to ischemic cell damage. The CD11b/18 (Mac-1) integrin mediates stimulated neutrophil binding to endothelia. We therefore investigated the effect of administration of an anti-Mac-1 monoclonal antibody on cerebral ischemic cell damage in the rat. METHODS Rats (n = 10) were subjected to 2 hours of middle cerebral artery oc...

INTRODUCTION Intracranial pressure monitoring is commonly implemented in patients with neurologic injury and at high risk of developing intracranial hypertension, to detect changes in intracranial pressure in a timely manner. This enables early and potentially life-saving treatment of intracranial hypertension. CASE PRESENTATION An intraparenchymal pressure probe was placed in the hemisphere ...

Intracranial metastases in patients with carcinoma of the cervix are rarely reported. We present three such patients, two of whom had intraparenchymal metastases and a third with involvement of bone and dura.
