Background And Purpose: Paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) have been described as an imaging feature specific to multiple sclerosis (MS) using high-field strength phase-sensitive MR imaging. These lesions are suggested to reflect chronic active inflammation associated with greater disease severity and a more rapid disability progression. The aim of our study is to investigate the relationship between PRLs, clinical parameters, other radiological findings and disease progression.

- Scientists studied brain scans of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) to see how common special lesions, called paramagnetic rim lesions (RLs), are in these patients.
- Out of 192 patients, 113 had at least one RL, but the number of RLs didn’t change based on the type of MS or other factors like gender or treatment.
- The researchers think that seeing these RLs on brain imaging can help doctors, but they need to do more studies to understand what these lesions mean for the future of MS patients.
Uterine involvement of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is exceedingly rare. Globular enlargement of the uterus with diffuse homogeneous signal intensity is suggestive for the diagnosis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in clinically suspected cases.

However, tumours can arise from all components of the sacrum and primary bone tumours should be considered in case of a solitary lesion and absence of oncologic history.
