Parry Romberg Syndrome in a Young Ghanaian: A Case Report and a Literature Review.

Parry Romberg syndrome (PRS), also known as progressive hemifacial atrophy, is a very rare self-limiting disease, which affects the skin and subcutaneous tissues, underlying musculature, cartilage, and bony structures of one half of the face with a resultant hemiatrophy and alopecia areata. It presents in children and young adults, with a slow progression of the atrophy for several years, and then becomes stable. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan of the cranium demonstrates the radiological feature of hemiatrophy very clearly.

Evaluation of the Anatomical Locations of Stroke Events From Computed Tomography Scan Examinations in a Tertiary Facility in Ghana.

Introduction Stroke events are leading causes of mortalities globally and currently increasing alarmingly in low- and middle-income nations including Ghana, thus overburdening national healthcare delivery sectors. This trend is predicted to ultimately have an impact on the socio-economic development of these countries, thus gaining the attention of policy-makers and implementers. This study was therefore conducted to evaluate the anatomical locations of stroke events from CT scan examinations and the possibly associated variables to assist in managing this non-communicable pandemic.

Tuberous Sclerosis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Tuberous sclerosis (TS) is a rare genetic disorder of autosomal-dominant inheritance. Mutations on either of the two genes Tuberous Sclerosis Complex 1 (TSC1) or Tuberous Sclerosis Complex 2 (TSC2) play a role and result in hamartomas involving many organs, like the brain, heart, kidneys, skin, lungs, and liver. This case report is about a four-year-old boy with facial angiofibromas, hypo-pigmented skin lesions on the lower back and dorsum of the right wrist, and previous history of seizures who was referred to the radiology department of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the brain.

Computed tomography estimation of the prevalence of neuro-ophthalmic injuries in head trauma patients seen in a tertiary health facility in Ghana.

Introduction: Prevalence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is extremely high and potentially associated with severe incapacitating consequences. Literature reports that 90% of road traffic deaths and injuries including TBI occur in low and middle-income countries including Ghana. Computed Tomography (CT) scan is the imaging modality of choice for the initial assessment of the extent of head injury.
