Autosomal Dominant Type

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD), also known as Marie-Sainton syndrome, is a rare disorder of autosomal dominant type that presents specific characteristics at the skeletal and dental level. The diagnosis of CCD is based on clinical and radiographic findings. Panoramic, cephalometric, and anterior poster radiographs have been used for its diagnosis in dentistry. However, these radiological techniques have limitations, and advances in technology with new imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound have emerged, contributing to the diagnosis of CCD. Therefore, the aim of this review was to identify and describe current imaging studies that contribute to both the diagnosis and adequate and efficient treatment planning of CCD and describe the clinical and radiographic characteristics of patients with this syndrome.

AbstractA 31 year-old man with a history of a depressive episode presented with acute severe ‘thunderclap’ headache. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed abnormalities typical of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leucoencephalopathy (CADASIL), which was subsequently confirmed by genetic analysis. The psychiatric features of this genetic cause of depression and headache are discussed.

Ligament Disruption

Early recognition of subtle Lisfranc injuries is important, because deformity and disability may develop after initially unremarkable radiographs. The authors studied 23 patients (mean age, 25.4 years) with a history of midfoot trauma with both radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). When compared with the uninjured side, diastasis on radiographs ranged from 0 to 2 mm. The MRI revealed 2 intact ligaments, 3 complete tears, and 18 partial tears. All patients with complete tears had at least 2 mm more displacement between the second metatarsal and medial cuneiform, compared with the unaffected side. Because of the presence of complete or near complete rupture, seven patients underwent surgery, and the degree of rupture was confirmed. MRI of five cadaver specimens was also performed, disclosing discrete dorsal and plantar components. MRI was found to be useful in identifying Lisfranc ligament tears. If there is clear diastasis on weightbearing radiographs, MRI is not indicated. Whereas radiographic findings may be equivocal, however, MRI may accurately disclose the degree of ligament disruption.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Mri

The question of how to handle incidental findings (IFs) has sparked a heated debate among neuroimaging researchers and medical ethicists, a debate whose urgency stems largely from the recent explosion in the number of imaging studies being conducted and in the sheer volume of scans being acquired. Perhaps the point of greatest controversy within this debate is whether the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of all research participants should be reviewed in an active search for pathology and, moreover, whether this search should be performed by a radiologist. Resistance to routine readings performed by radiologists, as opposed to selective review of those scans on which investigators have spotted a possible IF, has been fueled in part by the obvious and enormous cost — financial and logistical — of engaging radiologists to read massive numbers of scans. This cost would be especially burdensome, even prohibitive, to investigators who are not affiliated with a medical center, because of their limited access to radiologists and other medical expertise.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Mri

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) can mimic multiple sclerosis (MS), leading to diagnostic confusion. We report a family with CADASIL in which the index case and the daughter of the index case were initially erroneously diagnosed with MS. Relatively specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) markers of CADASIL include involvement of the anterior temporal lobes and external capsules and, as illustrated in this report, these MRI findings may aid in the differentiation of the two conditions.

AbstractWhen it comes to examining the brachial plexus, ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are complementary investigations. US is well placed for screening most extraforaminal pathologies, whereas MRI is more sensitive and accurate for specific clinical indications. For example, MRI is probably the preferred technique for assessment of trauma because it enables a thorough evaluation of both the intraspinal and extraspinal elements, although US can depict extraforaminal neural injury with a high level of accuracy. Conversely, US is probably the preferred technique for examination of neurologic amyotrophy because a more extensive involvement beyond the brachial plexus is the norm, although MRI is more sensitive than US for evaluating muscle denervation associated with this entity. With this synergy in mind, this review highlights the tips for examining the brachial plexus with US and MRI.
