Objectives: We analyzed the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) manifestations of fetal corpus callosum abnormalities and discussed their prognosis based on the results of postnatal follow up. Methods: One hundred fifty-five fetuses were diagnosed with corpus callosum abnormalities by MRI at our hospital from 2004 to 2019. Gesell Development Scales were used to evaluate the prognosis of corpus callosum abnormalities after birth. Results: Corpus callosum abnormalities were diagnosed in 149 fetuses from singleton pregnancies, and 6 pairs of twins, 1 in each pair is a corpus callosum abnormality. Twenty-seven cases (27/155) were lost to follow up, whereas 128 cases (128/155) were followed up. Of these, 101 cases were induced for labor, whereas 27 cases were born naturally. Among the 27 cases of corpus callosum abnormality after birth, 22 cases were from singleton pregnancies (22/27). Moreover, 1 twin from each of 5 pairs of twins (5/27) demonstrated corpus callosum abnormalities. The average Gesell Development Scale score was 87.1 in 19 cases of agenesis of the corpus callosum and 74.9 in 3 cases of hypoplasia of the corpus callosum. Among the 5 affected twins, 2 had severe neurodevelopmental delay, 2 had mild neurodevelopmental delay, and 1 was premature and died. Conclusion: The overall prognosis of agenesis of the corpus callosum is good in singleton pregnancies. Hypoplasia of the corpus callosum is often observed with other abnormalities, and the development quotient of hypoplasia of the corpus callosum is lower compared with agenesis of the corpus callosum. Corpus callosum abnormalities may occur in one twin, in whom the risk may be increased.

Retroperitoneal hemangioma (RH) is a rare and benign vascular malformation. RH may be detected incidentally or present with symptoms due to local invasion of adjacent structures. Management options include surgical resection, as well as serial observation with routine imaging. We describe a retroperitoneal hemangioma encompassing the renal vein that was discovered during diagnosis of acute appendicitis, and characterize diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings seen with this condition.

Abstract: Low back pain (LBP) is still a common health problem. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination is the best radiological modality if pain originated from soft tissue is suspected. This study was aimed to determine the profile of MRI in patients with LBP. Tjis was a retrospective and descriptive study. Data were obtained from the PACS computer in the Radiology Department. The results obtained 112 patients with MRI examination. Most patients were female as many as 59 patients (51.75%), and the most frequent age group was > 50 years as many as 69 patients (60.53%). The most common MRI diagnosis was disc herniation of bulging type in 86 patients (76.78%) especially in L4-L5 and L5-S1, followed by spinal canal stenosis in 49 patients (43.75%), ligamentum flavum hypertrophy in 44 patients (39.28%), and nerve root compression in 40 patients (35.71%). In conclusion, the most common profile of MRI diagnosis among patients with LBP was disc herniation of bulging type located in L4-L5 and L5-S1, followed by spinal canal stenosis, ligamentum flavum hypertrophy, dan nerve root compression.Keywords: low back pain, magnetic resonance imaging Abstrak: Nyeri punggung bawah (NPB) masih merupakan masalah kesehatan yang sering terjadi.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine and brachial plexus was performed on 26 consecutive patients presenting with traction injuries of the brachial plexus during 1996 and 1997. These included T1 and T2 weighted coronal, sagittal and axial images of the cervical spine and coronal images of the brachial plexus. The results were compared with surgical findings, intraoperative neurophysiology, and subsequent clinical progress. Operations for exploration and repair have been performed in 23 and 26 patients scanned. Evidence of root avulsion was seen in 11 patients in the form of displacement or oedema of the spinal cord, haemorrhage or scarring within the spinal canal, absence of roots in the intervertebral foramena, and meningoceles. Characteristic abnormalities were evident in the MR scans of all cases where exploration confirmed some root avulsions. There were no false positives. MRI underestimated the number of individual roots avulsed; sensitivity was 81%. Post-ganglionic lesions were seen as swelling on T1 images associated with increasing signal on T2 images. It was usually possible to define the level of the injury within the plexus. This study suggests that MR imaging, performed early after traction injury to the brachial plexus, provides useful additional information towards establishing the level of the lesion. It also provides information about injury to the plexus outside the spinal canal.

AbstractThe cervical spine is subject to the effect of gravity in the upright position. Weight-bearing upright magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) potentially allows a better diagnosis and evaluation of cervical spine pathology that may be masked or not fully appreciated in the usual non–weight-bearing supine position. Only limited studies are currently available in this area. This article summarizes the current literature on weight-bearing MRI of the cervical spine.
