CT demonstration of a dural arteriovenous malformation.

A case of dural arteriovenous malformation with intracranial and subdural hemorrhage is presented. The computed tomographic scan with contrast injection demonstrated nodular enhancement adjacent to intracerebral hemorrhage, suggesting an underlying vascular malformation. Angiography confirmed this suggested diagnosis. A brief review of dural AVM is included.

Radiology of anterior cerebral artery infarction.

Twenty patients with anterior cerebral artery infarction are reviewed. Usual and unusual clinical presentation and radiographic findings (angiography and computed tomography) are correlated.

Importance of metrizamide CT for evaluation of the thoracic spine.

Post-metrizamide myelographic CT of the area of interest is indicated in cases in which myelography is normal, and also in cases in which myelographic findings alone cannot explain the patient's symptoms. Obtaining early and 4-6 hour delayed CT is of great importance for the detection of syringomyelia and cystic lesions of the cord. In cases of congenital anomalies, additional information can be obtained by this method. This paper presents our experiences at Loyola University Hospital.

Radiologic evaluation of tuberculous meningitis.

Five cases of primary tuberculous meningitis are presented. In three cases of acute meningeal process, the classic computed tomographic (CT) scan findings of basal meningeal enhancement, hydrocephalus and arteritis on angiography were found. These radiologic findings suggested the diagnosis, and antituberculosis treatment was therefore instituted at an early stage of the disease. In the remaining two cases with late complication of tuberculous meningitis, hydrocephalus and basal vessel arteritis were present. The importance of correlation of the clinical and radiographic findings is discussed.

Toxemia of pregnancy: cerebral CT findings.

Four patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension (preeclampsia-eclampsia) and neurological dysfunction unrelated to intracranial hemorrhage, cerebral venous thrombosis, or preexisting neurological disorder had cranial CT performed during their hospitalization. Three patients had diffuse white matter hypodensities with associated mass effect. The fourth patient had bilateral, asymmetric hypodensities confined to the basal ganglia. Computed tomography is useful in establishing an early diagnosis of the complicating neurological disorder as well as in providing a better understanding of the physiopathological changes seen in the brain in this condition.

Complex partial seizure-induced transient MR enhancement.

A 58-year-old man with complex partial seizures had transient symmetrical MR enhancement in the anterior mesiotemporal cortex bilaterally, correlated with the sites of seizure focus on electroencephalography. Preinfused T1-weighted and T2-weighted sequences showed no abnormality. After adequate control of seizures with medication, repeat MR was normal and the prior enhancement was no longer seen. This transient seizure-induced MR enhancement was consistent with ictal or postictal hyperemia and breakdown of the blood-brain barrier and should not be erroneously attributed to mesial temporal sclerosis, encephalitis, tumor, or infarction.

A protocol for management of a catastrophic complication of functional endoscopic sinus surgery: internal carotid artery injury.

Injury to the cavernous portion of the internal carotid artery is a well recognized and dreaded complication of functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Little information, however, has been presented in the Otolaryngology literature regarding the etiology, prevention, or treatment of this complication. The purpose of this study is to present a case report of a cavernous carotid artery injury during functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Relevant anatomy, preventive measures, and treatment approaches are discussed for this difficult problem.
