Prenatal diagnosis and appearance of nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma in a fetus: A case report.

We report a case of fetal nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma (NCMH) first noted on prenatal ultrasound at 34 weeks. A solid-cystic mass which predominantly hyperechoicgenic and relatively clear margin, was located on the left nasal cavity and pharynx, with anterior extension and moderate blood flow. Further follow-up ultrasound examination depicted an enlargement of the tumor.

The assessment of mild encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) using high b-value DWI.

Introduction: Mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) was shown to have a transient reduction in diffusion. Such changes would be used as an early detection to reduce excessive treatments and promote recovery without sequelae. The current research evaluated the high b-value (b = 3000 s/mm) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) assessment in MERS.
