Objective This study aimed to explore the application value of transcranial doppler (TCD) in the inspection of cerebral vasospasm (CVS) after the treatment of intracranial aneurysm. Methods: 105 cases of patients with confirmed intracranial aneurysm were divided into two groups based on the two different treatments - craniotomy and aneurysmal clipping or interventional embolization therapy. TCD was applied to monitor t Read More

Background: We report a patient with a prepontine chordoma, presented with MRI features of an Epidermoid Cyst (EC) including hypointensity on T1-weighted image, hyperintensity on T2- weighted image, hyperintensity on DWI, and no contrast enhancement. We also presented a concise review of the relevant clinical data, since such cases were rarely reported in the English medical literature. Results & Conclulsion: To avoi Read More

Tc-99m-MAA scintigraphy was performed in a patient with pulmonary hypertension to confirm the presence of a Right-to-LEFT (R-L) shunt due to the pulmonary Arteriovenous (AV) fistula. Both planar imaging and SPECT/CT showed multiple decreased or increased RI accumulation in both lung fields, and the R-L shunt ratio was high, indicating the presence of an R-L shunt. We considered that the decreased RI accumulated lesio Read More

Tracheobronchial amyloidosis is a localised form of amyloidosis characterised by the accumulation of amyloid deposit in the trachea, main bronchi and segmentary bronchi. Although diffuse tracheobronchial amyloidosis is the most frequently seen form of primary pulmonary amyloidosis, this is a rare disease. It is demonstrated with symptoms such as progressive dyspnea, cough and haemoptysis. It may cause airway obstructio Read More

Background: A 7-year-old boy with an atypical form of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is reported, predominantly involving frontal, occipital and temporal lobes, corticospinal tracts and cerebellar lobes. Methods: The disease has been well documented previously with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Discussion: However, there isn't enough data on Magnetic Resonance Perfusion Imaging (MRPI) and non-contrast Arterial Read More
