Magnetic Resonance Imaging Mri

✓ The authors present two cases of herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) in which computerized tomography (CT) scanning and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed. They also review the literature on the use of these imaging modalities in cases of HSE. The striking changes noted in these cases on T2-weighted magnetic resonance images in comparison to the CT findings suggest that MRI will help speed recognition of nonhemorrhagic HSE abnormalities.

Secondary Generalization

Background:We describe the presentation of a young woman with long-standing complex partial seizures with occasional secondary generalization, who presented with complex visual hallucinations (CVHs) and delusions.Methods:Routine biological workup including magnetic resonance imaging revealed an area of significant left-sided occipital gliosis. Video telemetry monitoring revealed a left occipital focus for the origin of the electrographic seizure discharge.Conclusion:CVHs occur in a range of organic states, including epilepsy, and can be understood in terms of the underpinning neuroanatomy and neurotransmitter systems of the visual system.

AbstractAll patients in the Birmingham Cochlear Implant Programme underwent computerized tomography (CT) scanning and were assessed and images interpreted by the main author. Of the first 100 cases, 20 were considered to have abnormalities of the inner ears by CT imaging. It is concluded that the commonest abnormality was cochlear otospongiosis followed by labyrinthitis ossificans.Otospongiosis is well shown by CT which gives a good predicator of luminal patency.However, labyrinthus obliterans, although usually apparent on CT, is not reliably shown in all cases and T2 weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is better.
