We present the clinical, anatomic, and laboratory findings in a 4-month-old child with desmosplastic infantile ganglioglioma. Microtubule-associated protein-2 (AP18) and neuron-specific B-tubulin (TUJ-1) were more sensitive in detecting immature neural elements than synaptophysin. Despite the immature neuroblastic component, focal intermediate proliferation indices, microinvasion, presence of secondary features (extension into Virchow Robin spaces, perineuronal satellitosis), and subtotal resection, the child has done well, with striking improvement of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image, head size improvement, no tumor recurrence, and minimal neurological deficits.

The paper provides an example from expert practice, during which a head image obtained using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used as a sample. It is proposed to include an MRI image in a number of objects and samples considered by the current portrait examination technique. The nature of the suitability of such an object for the production of portrait examination is determined. Practical recommendations are given for working with the appropriate software to get the most visual picture.

Abstract The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in healthcare and the emergence of radiology as a practice are both relatively new compared with the classical specialties in medicine. Having its naissance in the 1970s and later adoption in the 1980s, the use of MRI has grown exponentially, consequently engendering exciting new areas of research. One such development is the use of computational techniques to analyze MRI images much like the way a radiologist would. With the advent of affordable, powerful computing hardware and parallel developments in computer vision, MRI image analysis has also witnessed unprecedented growth. Due to the interdisciplinary and complex nature of this subfield, it is important to survey the current landscape and examine the current approaches for analysis and trend trends moving forward.

Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is an inborn disorder of amino acid metabolism, often presenting with neurological symptoms. We present the results of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) of the brain in a 16‐month‐old male patient with classic neurological and laboratory findings for MMA. MRI demonstrated the hyperintensity within globi pallidi both on T2‐weighted image and DWI during the acute episode of metabolic acidosis.

A newborn baby girl developed seizures right after birth. On the fourth day, the baby was examined using diffusion sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diagnosed to have neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy. Laboratory findings confirmed the diagnosis. This is the first case of neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD) where diffusion MRI sequence helped in the diagnosis. We find association of NALD with seizures at birth is an extremely rare occurrence, and so far, only one case has been mentioned in the literature.

AbstractSplenium of corpus callosum can be involved in a variety of pathologies causing reversible or irreversible damage. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful investigation to evaluate the same. In spite of the differing etiologies implicated, MRI findings can be quite common. We review the reversible causes of diffusion restriction involving the splenium of corpus callosum and highlight the etiopathologic mechanisms implicated in these pathologies. We further discuss these pathologies in entirety with relevant clinical and laboratory findings helping make definitive diagnosis and guiding appropriate management.

Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection caused by omnipresent fungi called Mucorales of class Phycomycetes. It mainly occurs in immunocompromised patients, and only early diagnosis with medical and surgical intervention remains the gold standard in managing it. Here, we present the case of a patient contracted with mucormycosis post his COVID-19 infection involving the rhino-orbito-maxillary area. The patient presented to our hospital with dental pain a month after his discharge. Since the mucormycosis cases were at a peak in this period, our team of doctors did a thorough examination of the patient, which revealed dental and ophthalmologic abnormalities. No clinical necrotic eschar in the palatine or nasal cavity was diagnosed, but magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a typical COVID-19 mucormycosis infection. Accordingly, prompt treatment with systemic amphotericin B was started. However, as the patient declined surgical intervention, we feared the worst outcome, which to our surprise showed no adverse progression.

Introduction: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a fundamental diagnostic tool in axial spondyloarthritis, it has allowed us, unlike radiography, to diagnose this pathology much earlier. Objective: To estimate the percentage of correct answers in the recognition of SpA MRI lesions and theoretical knowledge, before and after performing an educational intervention. Estimate if the good performance in the tests is associated with individual characteristics of the doctors. Methods: A test was carried out with 10 questions (7 for image recognition and 3 for theoretical knowledge) before and after the development of an MRI image workshop in EspA in diferents cities in Argentina. The correct response number was considered before and after the workshop, and those who achieved more than 12 points between the two evaluations were considered good performance. The following physician characteristics were collected. Results: A total of 106 physicians were evaluated. The results of the tests (total 10 questions) before and after the workshop were 53% and 68% correct, respectively (p:0.000). 65% of the physicians achieved a good performance (more than 12 correct).

: We presented a 5-year-old boy with fever, limping, and hip pain for six days. There was no abnormal past medical history. He kept his left leg immobile and slightly flexed, and externally rotated in the hip joint. Laboratory findings showed leukocytosis and elevated ESR and CRP. Hip sonography was normal. Hip magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) found no joint effusion but elucidated signs of inflammation in muscles of the periarticular and proximal femoral area (iliopsoas and gluteus maximus), and no collection could be noticed. We provided a thorough discussion on differential diagnoses and approaches to the patient.
