A female 3-year-old Pug showing frequent epileptic fits during 8-months was shown on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to have dilated cerebral ventricles and inflammatory lesions in the whole cortex of the bilateral cerebral hemispheres as well as the lower left parietal and the middle right temporal lobes. Histopathology of the corresponding regions revealed meningoencephalitis characterized b...

Intraventricular cysticercosis cysts can migrate through the ventricular system and produce hydrocephalus. MR is more sensitive than CT in the detection of these cysts.

Neuroanatomy in addition to neurophysiology, are the basic areas for the proper formation from health students to specialized professionals in neuroscience. A step by step guide for practical studies of neuroanatomy is required for this kind of knowledge to become more acceptable among medical students, neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuropediatricians and psychiatric physicians. Based on the wel...

In the heart to be reported here there are congenital anomalies allowing communication between the right-heart and left-heart circulations, a feature of most of the other reported cases of cerebral abscess occurring in association with congenital heart disease. The anatomical features, however, were unique and of particular interest in relation to their method of development. The great vessels ...

There are many reports of clinical and biological gender differences in schizophrenia. Gender differences in structural brain abnormalities in schizophrenia have been reported on both computed tomographic (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. We present here a new MRI study of cerebral structures in schizophrenia. On the basis of previous findings, we hypothesized that schizophrenic ...

THE value of rontgenography in the diagnosis and localization of intracranial tumors is mainly restricted to the cases in which the neoplasm has affected the skull. In an analysis of the X-ray findings in one hundred cases of /brain tumor from Doctor Halsted's Clinic, Heuer and I 1 have shown that in only 6 per cent. of the cases did the tumor cast a shadow, and in these it was only the calcifi...

A nine-month old boy was brought to our hospital with a complaint of growth retardation. On cerebral magnetic resonance imaging examination, giant clefts resulting in the connection of lateral ventricles with subarachnoidal spaces were detected in both cerebral hemispheres, and interpreted as bilateral giant open-lip schizencephaly. Associated anomalies were noted on cerebral magnetic resonance...
