Magnetic resonance spectroscopy in very preterm-born children at 4 years of age: developmental course from birth and outcomes
Brain metabolites show very rapid maturation over infancy, particularly following very preterm (VPT) birth, and can provide an index of brain injury. The utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRS, magnetic re...

Midline “brain in brain”: an unusual variant of holoprosencephaly with anterior prosomeric cortical dysplasia
We report three cases of brain malformation presenting with a midline mass of dysplastic cortex that we have termed “brain in brain” malformation.

Normal galenic drainage of the deep cerebral venous system in two cases of vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation
Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformations (VGAM) are assumed to be related to the persistence of the embryonic median prosencephalic vein of Markowski, which does not involute in cases of VGAM and becomes the ven...

Central Nervous System Diseases in Children
Central nervous system (CNS) diseases in children are significantly different from those in adults. They are related to age-specific processes (e.g. hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathies), pathologies (e.g. acute...

Neurocutaneous melanosis: radiological–pathological correlation
We report the case of a young patient with neurocutaneous melanosis (NCM) who presented with temporary aphasia and right hemiparesis followed by progressive coma and death. To our knowledge, this is the first...

Inborn and Acquired Mitochondrial Leucodystrophy
In the last decades, the concept of “leucodystrophy” has dramatically evolved. These diseases initially were studied by clinical examination and neuropathology only. Their classification was based on their pat...

Schizencephaly: correlation between the lobar topography of the cleft(s) and absence of the septum pellucidum
The bipolar defects observed in schizencephalies – clefts in the hemispheric mantle on the one hand, absent septum pellucidum on the other – without any anatomic or functional continuity suggest that there is ...

Cerebral development and MRI
The development of the brain in the first months of life is characterised by morphological changes (growth and shape) and by histological changes (cel-lularity and myelination). Morphology is of course inexqui...

Three-dimensional MRI of hemifacial spasm with surgical correlation
MRI was used to investigate 100 patients with hemifacial spasm, using 3D-FT T2-weighted (CISS) and contrast-enhanced 3D-FT T1-weighted (turbo-FLASH) sequences in all cases. MR angiography was performed in 54 ...

3D-FT MRI of the facial nerve
Contrast-enhanced 3D-FT MRI of the intrapetrous facial nerve was obtained in 38 patients with facial nerve disease, using a 1.0 T magnet and fast gradient-echo acquisition sequences. Contiguous millimetric sec...

3D-FT thin sections MRI of prolactin-secreting pituitary microadenomas
We studied 76 patients with endocrinological features of prolactin-secreting microademnoma by MRI, using three dimensional (3D) gradient echo acquisition (FLASH) sequences. MRI revealed a focal signal abnormal...

Agenesis of the internal carotid artery and cavernous sinus hypoplasia with contralateral cavernous sinus meningioma
We report a cavernous sinus meningioma encasing the cavernous internal carotid artery in a patient with congenital agenesis of the contralateral internal carotid artery and cavernous sinus hypoplasia.

In vivo MRI of the fetal brain
We report MRI of the brain in 45 fetuses; the findings were confirmed by pathological examination or postnatal neuroradiological studies. MRI necessitates medication to eliminate fetal motion; curare was injec...

Brain Stem and Cerebellum: Normal and Pathological Anatomy (Clinical considerations)
Even though experience is limited, it is evident that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides an excellent method with which to evaluate the brain stem and cerebellum. Advantages include the lack of need for...

Wilms' tumor, malformative syndrome, mental retardation and de novo constitutional translocation, t(7;13)(q36;q13)
An apparently balanced de novo constitutional translocation (7;13) (q36;q13) was detected on peripheral lymphocytes and fibroblasts of a 14-month-old boy. The patient presented a facial dysmorphism with hydroc...

Destructive lesions of the brain
The congenital destructive lesions of the brain include focal lesions (porencephaly) and diffuse lesions (micrencephaly, hydranencephaly). According to the time the injury occurred and following the assumption...

Investigations of nontumoral hydrocephalus in children
An analysis was made of 175 cases of pediatric nontumoral hydrocephalus. CT scan by itself permits a precise diagnosis in only one-third of the cases. However, when the clinical context suggests that hydroceph...
