Article Synopsis
- * The name comes from the visual resemblance of the brain's MRI images to the cross on a hot cross bun, first identified in a study by Schrag et al. in 1998.
- * Other conditions, such as spinocerebellar ataxia and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, can also present similar imaging characteristics, broadening the differential diagnosis.
Background: The yield of head computed tomography (CT) for patients who suffered head trauma with a presenting Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 15 has been reported to be low, even in patients who are anticoagulated or on antiplatelet therapy. We undertook this study to (1) determine the frequency of intracranial hemorrhage in anticoagulated patients and patients on antiplatelet therapy and its impact on clinical management, (2) identify predictors of positive imaging findings, and (3) assess potential differences between anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of the trauma registry at our institution, a Level II trauma center.
Background: Primitive neuroectodermal tumours (PNETs) constitute a family of neoplasms of presumed neuroectodermal origin that predominantly present as bone or soft-tissue masses in adolescents and young adults. PNET arising in the kidney is rare.
Objective: To describe the radiological features in three patients with primary renal PNET.
