Objective:Cerebral aneurysms are the predominant cause of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, if an aneurysmal cause has been excluded, there remains but a short list of other potential etiologies. Cerebral neoplasms are clearly on this list but are most commonly meningiomas or metastatic lesions. This article details a case of a neoplasm that presented exclusively with SAH.Clinical Presentation:A 40-year-old male presented with a SAH with normal cerebral angiography. The initial magnetic resonance image revealed a lesion in the right insula thought to be resolving hemorrhage. Subsequent images, however, revealed the mass to be enlarging.Intervention:Craniotomy and resection of the lesion established a diagnosis of a malignant oligodendroglioma.Conclusion:An affirmation is made that patients experiencing ’angiographically-negative’ SAH should undergo MRI, occasionally on a serial basis, to exclude other etiologies for hemorrhage, including neoplasia.

AbstractA 9-year-old girl patient presented with left-sided weakness and joint contractures developing over a period of 18 months. She was known to be suffering from β-thalassemia major and was on regular blood transfusions. Eighteen months ago, she had suffered from an episode of ischemic cerebrovascular accident affecting the right side of her brain. Magnetic resonance angiogram revealed vaso-occlusive disease affecting mainly the anterior cerebral circulation, resembling Moyamoya disease. She was advised to carry out regular physiotherapy but her parents discontinued it, which resulted in the gradual development of joint contractures and muscle wasting.

The magnetic resonance images and maps of bovine ovaries acquired at defined phases of follicular development and regression were studied to determine whether magnetic resonance image attributes of the follicular antrum reflect the physiological status of dominant and subordinate ovarian follicles. Ovariectomies were performed at day 3 of wave one, day 6 of wave one, day 1 of wave two and at >/= day 17 after ovulation. The timings of ovariectomies were selected to acquire growing, early static, late static and regressing follicles of the first wave and preovulatory follicles of the ovulatory wave. Pre-selection and subordinate follicles were also available for analysis. Serum samples were taken on the day of ovariectomy and follicular fluid samples were taken after imaging. Numerical pixel value and pixel heterogeneity in a spot representing approximately 95% of the follicular antrum were quantified in T(1)- and T(2)-weighted images. T(1) and T(2) relaxation rates (T(1) and T(2)), proton density, apparent diffusion coefficients and their heterogeneities were determined from the computed magnetic resonance maps. The antra of early atretic dominant follicles showed higher T(2)-weighted mean pixel value (P < 0.008) and heterogeneity (P < 0. 01) and lower T(2) heterogeneity (P < 0.008) than growing follicles. Subordinate follicles in the presence of a preovulatory dominant follicle had higher T(1), T(1) heterogeneity, proton density, proton density heterogeneity, and lower mean pixel value in T(1)-weighted images than subordinate follicles of the anovulatory wave (P < 0.04). T(1) relaxation rate heterogeneity and proton density heterogeneity were positively correlated with follicular fluid oestradiol concentration (r = 0.4 and 0.3; P < 0.04). T(2) relaxation rate heterogeneity was positively correlated with follicular fluid progesterone concentration (r = 0.4; P < 0.008). Quantitative differences in magnetic resonance image attributes of the antrum observed among phases of follicular development and regression coincided with changes in the ability of the dominant follicle to produce steroid hormones and ovulate, and thus were indicative of physiological status and follicular health.

BACKGROUND Background: Studying the neurological developmental outcomes and comparing correlations with MRI (Magnetic resonance image) versus the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) OBJECTIVE Objective: To investigate the non-inferiority of MRI to HINE in infant developmental outcomes METHODS Settings: Hospital settings including pediatrics and neonatal care units Intervention: No medical or surgical intervention is planned, only correlation and extra analyses would take place to standardize the current practice Measurements: HINE, Brain MRI, Brain Ultrasound and developmental outcomes after 12 months RESULTS Results: The observations collected and correlations measured to figure out the reliability of both HINE and MRI in order to figure to what extent can we rely on HINE alone in expecting the developmental outcomes CONCLUSIONS The more reliability would expressed by HINE assessment the accurate expectation of developmental in preterm infants CLINICALTRIAL https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03580252
