Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in equidae suffering meningoencephalitis (ME) has not been described. The objective of this paper is to describe brain MRI findings in a foal with bacterial ME. A five-month-old, 200 kg bwt Arabian filly was referred with a history of abnormal mental status and locomotion. The filly was recumbent and obtunded, and pupillary light reflexes were sluggish, and oculocephalic movements were normally present. Ophthalmic examination revealed bilateral optic neuritis. Hematology revealed leukocytosis and neutrophilia. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed neutrophilic pleocytosis with intracellular bacteria. On brain MRI, there were multifocal cortical areas of mild hyperintensity on T2-weighted images (T2WI) affecting both hemispheres. The lesions had ill-delineated margins, and there was loss of differentiation between gray and white matter. Diffuse hyperintensity was also identified in the left cerebellar cortex on T2WI. Neither mass effect nor cerebral midline shift were identified. On FLAIR images, the lesions were also hyperintense and, in some areas, they seemed to coalescence to form diffuse cortical areas of hyperintensity. The MRI findings described were similar to the MRI features described in cases of humans and small animals with ME. Brain MRI can be a useful diagnostic tool in foals and small-sized equidae with intracranial disease.

Purpose To report the development of a cavitary choroidal melanoma in a patient with nevus of Ota and describe its magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features. Patient A 66-year-old man with right oculodermal melanocytosis and an ipsilateral choroidal cavitary melanoma was seen. Diagnosis was suspected on the clinical, ultrasonographic and MRI findings. Results T1-weighted image showed a hyperintense solid mass containing hypointense cystic-like spaces delineated by hyperintense septa with respect to the vitreous. The reverse image was observed on T2-weighted images. A choroidal melanoma comprising epithelioid and spindle cells with multilocular cavities was documented histopathologically. Conclusions There may be an association between cavitary melanoma and nevus of Ota. Characteristic MRI findings could be helpful in the differential diagnosis of cavitary uveal melanoma.

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of childhood cerebral X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ADL), emphasizing the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings at initial evaluation and at the follow-up. CASE REPORT: Five year-old boy, who was asymptomatic, presented with diagnosis of X-ADL for MRI evaluation. The initial brain MRI showed a focal area of enhancement at the splenium of the corpus calosum. One year later, the follow-up MRI showed a progression of the corpus calosus lesion, as well as other lesions in the parietal and occipital lobes. CONCLUSION: The brain MRI follow-up of patients with X-ADL is important to show the progression of the lesions.

Global developmental delay / intellectual disability are common pediatric conditions. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), although an important diagnostic tool in the evaluation of these patients, often requires general anesthesia. Recent literature suggests that unnecessary general anesthesia exposure should be avoided in early years because of possible long-term negative neurodevelopmental sequelae. This study sought to identify clinical clues associated with brain MRI abnormalities in children with global developmental delay / intellectual disability in an attempt to provide guidance to physicians on selecting patients who would benefit from an MRI. Retrospective chart review analysis was conducted for patients presenting to a pediatric neurology tertiary care center between 2014 and 2017 for a first clinic evaluation for global developmental delay / intellectual disability. Detailed clinical history and physical examination findings were analyzed and correlated with brain MRI findings. The majority (218/327, 67%) of children referred for evaluation of global developmental delay / intellectual disability underwent complete clinical and radiologic evaluations. Mean age was 37.9 months (±32.5 standard deviation) and 116 were males (53%). Motor deficits were predominant in most subjects (122/218, 56%). Abnormal MRI findings were observed in 153 children (70%), with the most prevalent abnormalities noted within the white matter (104/153, 68%), corpus callosum (77/153, 50%), and the hippocampus (50/153, 33%). Abnormal MRI findings were prevalent in children with predominant motor delay (84, 69%) and cognitive disability (3, 100%) as well as those with visual and hearing impairment ( P < .05). The presence of facial dysmorphisms (57/71, P = .02); cranial nerve abnormalities (79/100; P = .007) and abnormal reflexes (16, P = .01) on examination also correlated significantly with increased MRI abnormalities.

Few Data

In the present study, the results of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in girls with central precocious puberty (CPP) were compared those in with girls evaluated for headaches. A total of 295 girls with CPP who underwent sellar MRI were enrolled. A total of 205 age-matched girls with chronic or recurrent headaches without neurological abnormality who had brain MRI were included as controls. The positive MRI findings were categorized as incidental non-hypothalamic–pituitary (H–P), incidental H–P, or pathological. Positive MRI findings were observed in 39 girls (13.2%) with CPP; 8 (2.7%) were classified as incidental non-H–P lesions, 30 (10.2%) as incidental H–P lesions, and 1 (0.3%) as a pathological lesion (tuber cinereum hamartoma). The prevalence of positive MRI findings in girls with CPP did not differ from girls with headaches (13.2% vs. 12.2%, p = 0.74). The prevalence of incidental H–P lesions in girls with CPP <6 years of age, 6–6.9 years of age, and 7–7.9 years of age was 21.2%, 13.5%, and 9.6%, respectively (p = 0.21). Known pathological lesions were detected in only one (3.0%) girl with CPP aged <6 years and in no girls with CPP aged 6–7.9 years. Microadenomas were detected in no girls with CPP aged <6 years and in 5 (1.9%) girls with CPP aged of 6–7.9 years. Our findings call into question the routine use of brain MRI in girls with CPP, especially in girls 6 years or older. Current guidelines recommend a follow-up MRI in cases of microadenoma, but few data exist to support this recommendation for children.

Background: Cutis Verticis Gyrata (CVG) is a rare skin disease caused by overgrowth of the scalp, presenting as cerebriform folds and wrinkles. CVG can be classified into two forms: primary (essential and non-essential) and secondary. The primary non-essential form is often associated with neurological and ophthalmological abnormalities, while the primary essential form occurs without associated comorbidities. Discussion: We report on a rare case of primary essential CVG with a 4-year history of normal-colored scalp skin mass in the parietal-occipital region without symptom in a 34-year-old male patient, retrospectively summarizing his pathological and Computer Tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. The major clinical observations on the CT and MR sectional images include a thickened dermis and excessive growth of the scalp, forming the characteristic scalp folds. With the help of CT and MRI Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction techniques, the characteristic skin changes could be displayed intuitively, providing more evidence for a diagnosis of CVG. At the 5-year followup, there were no obvious changes in the lesion. Conclusion: Based on our observations, we propose that not all patients with primary essential CVG need surgical intervention, and continuous clinical observation should be an appropriate therapy for those in stable condition.

Balo’s concentric sclerosis (BCS) is a rare demyelinating disease known as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) lesion type III. It is a disease of the white matter of the brain characterized by a round lesion with variable concentric myelinated and demyelinated layers, appearing as “onion bulb.” We present a case of BCS and discuss the imaging findings and management strategies of this disease. A 26-y-old male developed headache, weakness, and numbness of limbs. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed concentric lamellar like demyelinating lesions at the subcortical regions. The patient’s neurological symptoms were consistent with the MRI findings.

AbstractWe investigated the prevalence of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and their relationship with knee symptoms in women without radiographic evidence of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). This cross-sectional cohort study included 359 Japanese women without radiographic evidence of KOA (Kellgren‒Lawrence grade < 2). All participants underwent T2-weighted fat-suppressed MRI of their knees. Structural abnormalities (cartilage damage, bone marrow lesions [BMLs], subchondral cysts, bone attrition, osteophytes, meniscal lesions, and synovitis) were scored according to the whole-organ MRI score method. Knee symptoms were evaluated using the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score. Participants were divided into early and non-KOA groups based on early KOA classification criteria. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between MRI abnormalities and knee symptoms. Cartilage damage was the most common abnormality (43.5%). The prevalences of cartilage damage, BMLs, subchondral cysts, bone attrition, meniscal lesions, and synovitis were higher in patients with early KOA than in those without. Synovitis (odds ratio [OR] 2.254, P = 0.002) and meniscal lesions (OR 1.479, P = 0.031) were positively associated with the presence of early KOA. Synovitis was most strongly associated with knee pain and might be a therapeutic target in patients with early KOA.

Background: Vaginal adenosis is a rare clinicopathological entity which refers to the presence of glandular endometrial tissue in the vaginal wall. Case report: A gravida 46-year-old woman was presented to the gynecology department with symptoms of chronic pelvic pain. Maternal Diethylstilbestrol (DES) usage has been proven effective in the development of vaginal adenosis. It can also be idiopathic. Its sonographic or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings have not been described in English literature previously. Conclusion: Here, we report the clinical, transperineal ultrasonographic (US) and MRI findings of a pathologically proven case of vaginal adenosis.
