Prolonged acute migraine with aura and reversible brain MRI abnormalities after liquid sclerotherapy.

Transient visual disturbances constitute the most commonly reported neurological side effect during and immediately after sclerotherapy. A few studies, based on clinical and diffusion-weighted MRI assessments, have suggested that these transient neurological symptoms correspond to migraine with aura. Recently, it has been reported that brain magnetic resonance imaging can reveal transient T2*-weighted abnormalities during the acute phase of migraine with aura.

[Comparison between scintigraphy, B-mode, and power Doppler sonography in acute pyelonephritis in children].

Purpose: Comparing Power Doppler imaging versus technetium-dimercapto-succinic-acid (Tc-DMSA) scintigraphy in acute pyelonephritis of childhood.

Inclusion Criteria: First episode of urinary tract infection, clinical and biological findings suggesting an upper lesion, absence of urological malformation or obstruction, absence of reflux (or vesico-ureteral reflux inferior to grade 3). Number of patients: 49, length of the study: 26 months (from November 95 to January 98).
