A newborn with anencephaly does not have parts of the brain or skull. It is a significant birth condition. particular sort Neural Tube Defect (NTD) present. The neural tube helps form baby’s and skull (upper segment tube), spinal cord, back bones (lower half as it grows closes.When top portion completely seal, occurs. As consequence, many babies are born without cerebrum, which part responsible...

Capillaries in the retina are more susceptible to develop microvascular lesions in diabetes than capillaries in the embryologically similar cerebral cortex. Because available evidence implicates hyperglycemia in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy, differences in glucose transport into the retina and brain might contribute to this observed tissue difference in susceptibility to diabetes-in...

Severe preeclampsia and eclampsia are associated with brain edema that forms preferentially in the posterior cerebral cortex possibly because of decreased sympathetic innervation of posterior cerebral arteries and less effective autoregulation during acute hypertension. In the present study, we examined the effect of pregnancy on the effectiveness of cerebral blood flow autoregulation using las...

OBJECTIVE Minimally invasive autopsy using post-mortem magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a valid alternative to conventional autopsy in fetuses and infants. Estimation of brain weight is an integral part of autopsy, but manual segmentation of organ volumes on MRI is labor intensive and prone to errors, therefore unsuitable for routine clinical practice. In this paper we aim to show that volum...

We present a case of increased signal intensity of the cerebrum (symmetric involvement of the paraventricular thalamus and external capsule) and cerebellum on both T1- and T2-weighted images in a patient with documented heat stroke. An ischemic and hemorrhagic mechanism is proposed, and the contributions of the direct effects of hyperthermia are discussed.

is a rare and fatal hereditary disorder of unknown cause with multisystem involvement. Involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) is reported in approximately 30% of cases. Leptomeningitis, gliosis, demyelination, and lymphocyte and histiocyte infiltration of the cerebrum and cerebellum are the characteristic neuropathologic findings. We describe the serial brain MRI findings and neurologi...

Ventriculomegaly is an excess of fluid in the lateral ventricles within the developing cerebrum. It is usually diagnosed at a routine fetal anomaly scan at 18-22 weeks gestation. Management of the condition and counselling of parents are difficult, as the cause, absolute risk, and degree of resulting handicap cannot be determined with confidence.

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) was isolated from the cerebrum of a calf which showed severe neurological symptoms in late September 2009, and the JEV isolate was revealed to be of genotype 1. This is the first report describing the isolation of genotype 1 JEV from cattle.
