Background: Accurate staging is essential to determine the correct management of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer. We assess the accuracy of 3T multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with endorectal coil (3TemMRI) in detecting prostate cancer local extension.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts from January 2008 to July 2012 from all patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.
Background And Purpose: Unruptured anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) aneurysms are rare but potentially lethal cerebellopontine angle (CPA) lesions that may be misdiagnosed as vestibular schwannomas when they present with vestibulo-cochlear symptoms.
Methods: We report two cases of unruptured but symptomatic AICA aneurysms initially referred to us as atypical vestibular schwannomas requiring surgery. Two discriminant MR features are described.
Objective: The detection of a leukoencephalopathy is a frequent situation in neurologic practice. In a number of cases, the etiology remains obscure despite extensive investigations. We characterized the clinical, pathologic, and genetic features of a novel hereditary vascular leukoencephalopathy.

Methods: From a prospectively collected database including 349 patients with LRYGBP, 34 acutely symptomatic patients (28 women, mean age 32.
