Sub-Tenon's space abscess after strabismus surgery.

Inflammatory orbital complications of strabismus surgery are a rare occurrence. They include cellulitis, subconjunctival and sub-Tenon's abscesses, myositis, and endophthalmitis. The incidence of periocular infection is assumed to be one case per 1,100 surgeries.

3T MR with diffusion tensor imaging and single-voxel spectroscopy in giant axonal neuropathy.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and MR spectroscopy (MRS) data were obtained in a patient with giant axonal neuropathy (GAN) and compared to a control group. Fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent coefficient diffusion (ADC) data were obtained from specific white matter tracts including the corticospinal tracts (CST), corpus callosum (CC), optic radiations (OR), and middle cerebellar peduncle (MCP). Analysis of the MRS was performed.

Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts: an update and extended mutation analysis of MLC1.

Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) is an autosomal recessive cerebral white matter disorder in children. This disease is histopathologically characterized by myelin splitting and intramyelinic vacuole formation. MLC is caused by mutations in the gene MLC1, which encodes a novel protein, MLC1.
