Temporal Lobe Encephalocele with Epilepsy in A Young Female: An Atypical Presentation of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is typically described in a middle-aged female and present with symptoms of headache, transient visual obscuration, photophobia, diplopia, rarely with pulsatile tinnitus. Seizure as a sole manifestation is very rare. Here we present a case of a young non-obese female with epilepsy, and imaging revealed temporal lobe encephalocele with typical imaging features of IIH.

Complex basilar artery fenestration aneurysm successfully treated with single flow diverter using novel "crossing flow diverter technique" - A rare case report and review of literature.

Basilar artery fenestration aneurysms are very rare and endovascular management of large and complex aneurysms is extremely challenging. Most of these type of cases are managed with stent assisted coiling, dual flow diverters (FD) and single FD with additional coiling of aneurysm and occlusion of one of the vertebral artery. Here, we report a case of large complex basilar artery fenestration aneurysm successfully treated with single FD using novel technique called "crossing flow diverter technique" without any additional coiling of aneurysm or occlusion of vertebral artery.

Calvarial Melanotic Neuroectodermal Tumor of Infancy with Rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation-A Rare Case.

Background: Malignant neuroectodermal tumor of infancy is a rare neural crest cell-derived neoplasm of infants. Histologically, melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy usually consists of 2 types of cells: neuroblast-like and melanocyte-like cells. Here we present a rare case of melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy containing a third type of cell population, that is, rhabdomyoblasts in addition to the above two.

Filar arteriovenous fistula associated with anomalous common posterior intercostal arterial trunk - A case report and review of literature.

An anomalous common trunk giving rise to bilateral intercostal arteries at multiple levels is exceedingly rare and its association with spinal filar AVF and low-lying cord has not been reported so far. Here, we report this uncommon anatomical variation in a 60-year-old male who presented with paraplegia and on imaging found to have low-lying spinal cord with filar AVF and venous congestive myelopathy and discuss its embryological basis and associated malformations. Although rare, interventional radiologists should be aware of this entity, as these trunks may be a major source of bleeding in patients with hemoptysis, and also may be involved in vital spinal cord supply.

Endovascular management of a ruptured aneurysm associated with distal PICA fenestration.

Fenestrations are rare but well-known arterial anatomic variations in which a segment of artery divides into two parallel channels that reunite distally. Although fenestrations as such are asymptomatic, they have gained clinical significance because of their association with aneurysms and other intracranial vascular pathologies. Here we present a 35-year-old woman with history of sudden severe occipital headache and vomiting.

Endovascular Management of a Rare Case of Pediatric Vertebral Artery Mycotic Aneurysm: A Case Report.

Pediatric posterior-circulation aneurysms are uncommon, difficult-to-treat lesions associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Infections and trauma are important risk factors in children. Here, we present a 10-year-old boy with a lower respiratory tract infection, rapidly progressive right-neck swelling, and weakness of the right upper limb.

Comparison of computed tomographic angiography and noncontrast magnetic resonance angiography in preoperative evaluation of living renal donors.

Introduction: The computed tomographic angiography (CTA) renal donor protocol is an established method of preoperative renal vascular pedicle evaluation in prospective renal donors. However, CTA is associated with significant radiation exposure and intravenous contrast administration. The newer noncontrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (NCE-MRA) techniques, especially arterial spin labeling (ASL) with steady-state free precession (SSFP) hold promise as an effective alternative.

Misery of neurosurgeon: Gauzoma causing foreign body granuloma-role of radiologist.

Materials used in neurosurgery to achieve hemostasis may be of resorbable or nonresorbable substance and may cause foreign body granuloma if left at the operative site. Foreign body granuloma depending on clinical history may be indistinguishable from an abscess, resolving infarction, and hematoma. Here we present two cases, who had decompressive craniectomy following road traffic accident.

MR imaging of cavernous sinus lesions: Pictorial review.

The main purpose of this pictorial review is to highlight the important MR imaging findings of various conditions involving the cavernous sinus in addition to brief description of normal anatomy. The pathological conditions that can involve the cavernous sinus can be categorized into infective, inflammatory, granulomatous, vascular and neoplastic causes. Imaging, especially with MRI, plays an important role not only in detection but also in definition of disease extent and in characterization of the pathology.

Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of bulbourethral artery managed by coil embolization.

Urethral injury is a common form of urogenital trauma in males. Urethral injuries can be diagnosed with ease in emergency due to the presence of blood clot at external urethral meatus or inability to catheterize the urethra. Stricture formation is usual sequelae of such injuries.

Acute hemorrhagic encephalitis: An unusual presentation of dengue viral infection.

Dengue is a common viral infection worldwide with presentation varying from clinically silent infection to dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, and severe fulminant dengue shock syndrome. Neurological manifestation usually results from multisystem dysfunction secondary to vascular leak. Presentation as hemorrhagic encephalitis is very rare.

99mTc-Methylene diphosphonate SPECT/CT as the one-stop imaging modality for the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of Tc-methylene diphosphonate (Tc-MDP) single-photon emission tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) for the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma and compare the same with three-phase planar bone scintigraphy (BS) and CT alone.

Materials And Methods: Data of 31 patients (age: 20.6±13.

Ciliary body metastasis in a patient with non-small cell lung carcinoma--incidental detection with 18F-FDG PET/CT.

Ciliary body metastasis in a case of lung cancer is very rare. Intraocular metastasis by any cancer most commonly involves choroid followed by iris and ciliary body. We present a case of a 71-year-old male with non-small cell lung cancer who was found to have an 18F-FDG avid right lung mass.

Myoepithelioma of the soft palate: a case report.

Myoepitheliomas are rare benign tumors of myoepithelial cell origin, most commonly seen in parotid gland. These tumors are also reported in oral cavity, soft palate being the most common site of involvement. Imaging findings are nonspecific, and histopathology is necessary to differentiate from other tumors.

Posttraumatic cortical defect of femur.

Posttraumatic cortical defect of bone is a rare entity which occurs in a maturing skeleton following green stick or torus fracture. Most of the cases are asymptomatic and they are detected incidentally on radiograph. These lesions usually require no treatment.

Prenatal diagnosis of mediastinal neurentric cyst with an intraspinal component.

Mediastinal neurenteric cysts are the least common types of the bronchopulmonary foregut malformations, and their antenatal diagnosis is rare. We report a case of mediastinal neurenteric cyst diagnosed on antenatal ultrasonography at 28 weeks' gestation. A small intraspinal component and vertebral segmentation anomalies were also noted.
