MRI findings differentiating tonsillar herniation caused by idiopathic intracranial hypertension from Chiari I malformation
Some patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) have cerebellar tonsillar herniation ≥ 5 mm mimicking Chiari malformation I (CMI), which can result in misdiagnosis and unjustified treatment. Our ...

Shortened total spine MRI protocol in the detection of spinal cord compression and pathology for emergent settings: a noninferiority study
Spinal cord compression (SCC) requires rapid diagnosis in the emergent setting; however, current MRI protocols may be cumbersome for patients and clinicians. We sought to validate an abbreviated total spine MR...

Role of C-reactive protein in effective utilization of emergent MRI for spinal infections
Emergent spinal MRI is recommended for patients with back pain and red flags for infection. However, many of these studies are negative due to low prevalence of spinal infections. Our purpose was to assess if ...

Clinical utility of 2-D anatomic measurements in predicting cough-associated headache in Chiari I malformation
Cough-associated headache (CAH) is the most distinctive symptom of patients with Chiari I malformation (CMI) and indicates clinically significant disease. We determined the clinical utility of simple 2D anatom...
