Damage to the peripheral nervous system, such as radiculopathy and neuropathy, can play a critical role in the aetiology of LSC on the limbs. Both nerve-root compression in MRI scans and radiculopathy in nerve-conduction studies are common findings in asymptomatic subjects, but they seem to be more common in patients with LSC on the limbs. Therefore, these patients should be evaluated for the possibility of underlying neuropathy.
Posttraumatic splenic cysts are uncommon lesions and it should be considered if someone have a lump in left upper abdomen following abdominal trauma. We report a 24 years old male patient with huge posttraumatic splenic cysts and diagnostic value of MRI in this case.
Schizencephaly is a rare congenital disorder of cerebral cortical development. It is a neuronal migration anomaly, caused by insults to migrating neuroblasts during 3rd to 5th gestational months. We encountered schizencephaly in the cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a 4 month-old male baby. MRI demonstrated wide clefts occupying parietal regions bilaterally and the right occipital region partly. These areas were connected with lateral ventricles and also filled with cerebrospinal fluid. Although prevalence of this disorder is quite low and its incidence is unknown and also there may be no clear symptoms as in our case, we emphasize that it should not be overlooked in differential diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
