Posterior interosseous nerve compression is a well-described clinical entity with many aetiologies. Fewer than 12 documented cases of the condition due to an enlarged bicipital bursa exist in the literature. We describe a case in which magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used in the pre-operative assessment of a mass in the proximal forearm with a clinical diagnosis of partial posterior interosseous nerve compression.

Hyperglycaemia with hemichorea (HGHC) is an unusual clinical entity that can be associated with corpus striatum hyperintensity on T1-weighted (T1W) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences. We report the utility of the susceptibility weighted image (SWI) sequence and the filtered phase SWI sequence in the imaging assessment of HGHC.

Objective: To study the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma with pericranial infiltration. Methods: 86 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were selected as the research objected and examined by MRI and clinical examination, and the results of the two methods were compared. Results: In MRI examination, the positive rate of cranial nerve infiltration in nasopharyngeal carcinoma was 23.26%, which was significantly higher than 8.13% in clinical diagnosis. The coincidence rate between clinical diagnosis and MRI diagnosis was 35.00%. Conclusion: Nuclear MRI has important application value in the diagnosis of cranial nerve infiltration of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

AbstractWhen it comes to examining the brachial plexus, ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are complementary investigations. US is well placed for screening most extraforaminal pathologies, whereas MRI is more sensitive and accurate for specific clinical indications. For example, MRI is probably the preferred technique for assessment of trauma because it enables a thorough evaluation of both the intraspinal and extraspinal elements, although US can depict extraforaminal neural injury with a high level of accuracy. Conversely, US is probably the preferred technique for examination of neurologic amyotrophy because a more extensive involvement beyond the brachial plexus is the norm, although MRI is more sensitive than US for evaluating muscle denervation associated with this entity. With this synergy in mind, this review highlights the tips for examining the brachial plexus with US and MRI.
