The occurrence of intracystic hemorrhage in benign liver cysts is usually seen in huge solitary cysts and in older individuals. We report a case of multiple simple hepatic cysts with intracystic hemorrhage complicating one of the cysts in whom the correct diagnosis was accurately made by Contrast-Enhanced Low-MI Real-Time Ultrasound (CEUS) Imaging with Sonovue® (Bracco, Milano, Italy). Our repo...

Neurenteric cysts are rare congenital spinal masses that result from the dysgenesis of the endoderm tissue during development. We report a 4-year-old girl who presented with an insidious onset of lower limb paraparesis. An MRI scan revealed a cervicothoracic intradural extramedullary neurenteric cyst at the thoracic T1/T2 level, with marked spinal cord compression. No associated spinal dysraphi...

Background & Aim: Tethered spinal cord is the most prevalent anatomical deformity, usually diagnosed in childhood. The present study aimed to describe the different anatomo-radiological patterns of the tethered spinal cord with lipoma. Methods & Materials/Patients: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study in the Neurosurgery Department of General Grand Yoff Hospital and the Neurosurgical...

BACKGROUND Acute spontaneous spinal cord syndromes often remain etiologically ambiguous despite extensive diagnostic efforts. In the previous literature five cases are described with acute spinal cord syndromes interpreted as spinal cord ischemic strokes because of association with vertebral body infarctions on MRI. CASE DESCRIPTIONS Three cases are presented, and the literature is reviewed. ...

CYSTS in the vitreous, originating from the uvea, are very rare; they may be divided into congenital, traumatic, neoplastic, degenerative, and inflammatory. Being usually transparent, they do not impair vision and are often only discovered accidentally in the course of a routine examination. They are generally unilateral, but Vennin (1910), Litinsky (1931), Perera (1936), and some other authors...

It symmetrical lower motor weakness self-contained hands forearms.Materials and Methods: Observational type case study using MRI. 16 years presented with inability to move his right index finger decreased sensations for 3 monthsResul...

We report the sonographic features of an intracystic papillary carcinoma of the breast presenting as recurrent hemorrhagic cysts following trauma. A 56-year-old woman presented with palpable breast masses after a traumatic event; sonography showed multiple, well-defined, hemorrhagic cysts. Hemorrhagic fluid was evacuated by fine needle aspiration with no residual lesions. Cytology was negative ...

To determine the MR criteria that are effective for differentiating intramedullary neoplasms from syringo- or hydromyelia, we reviewed MR scans made on prototype and commercial imagers of 33 patients with surgically confirmed cord abnormalities, including nine intramedullary neoplasms and 20 cysts (syringo- or hydromyelia). Two radiologists who did not know the clinical and radiologic diagnoses...

INTRODUCTION There is increasing evidence regarding people's reactions to life stressors in which people also may show positive experiences following a traumatic event. The aim of the present study was to explain the facilitators of post-traumatic growth based on the experiences of patients with a spinal cord injury. METHODS This was a qualitative study conducted on 16 Iranian patients with a...

Typical MR images of ameloblastomas on T2-weighted image (WI) or short inversion time inversion-recovery (STIR) show multiple bright high-signal-intensity loci on a high-signal-intensity background. Unilocular cystic-type ameloblastomas show homogeneously bright high signal intensity on T2WI or STIR as a water-like signal intensity. Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish unilocular cystic-ty...
