AbstractDistinguishing the benign and malignant cardiac masses is usually a diagnostic challenge, and safe, non-invasive, and reliable techniques are necessary to avoid any delay in treatment. The previously described “sun ray” appearance is an important sign in the diagnosis of cardiac angiosarcoma, and in this report we present 3-T magnetic resonance imaging findings to distinguish the rare but fatal cardiac angiosarcoma.

Uncommon Case

Sarcoidosis is characterized by the presence of noncaseating granulomatous inflammation in the affected organs. Neurosarcoidosis denotes the involvement of the nervous system and can be either isolated or coexisting with extraneural systemic inflammation. The diagnosis of isolated neurosarcoidosis may be challenging due to unspecific symptoms and similar appearances with other disease processes. This report presents an uncommon case of intracranial sarcoidosis mimicking multiple meningiomas. Familiarity with the spectrum of magnetic resonance imaging findings in neurosarcoidosis is crucial to prevent interpretive errors which may in turn lead to an inappropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract Dizziness is a prevalent symptom in the general population, accounting for a considerable share of physician office visits, and most causes are clinically treatable. It is also a common indication for neuroimaging studies, in order to identify a specific etiology and exclude surgical causes. Here, we illustrate the main peripheral and central causes of dizziness, discussing their possible differential diagnoses, as well as their most important image aspects.
