Incidental Petrous Apex Cephalocele Presenting With Transient Global Amnesia: A Case Report and Rapid Literature Review.

Transient global amnesia (TGA) constitutes a rare clinical entity that manifests with temporary memory without any other neurological manifestation. Several pathogenetic mechanisms have been implicated, including temporal hypoperfusion, venous congestion, and cortical spreading potentials. Accordingly, the only relevant imaging findings are hippocampal CA1 areas of restricted diffusion on diffusion-weighted images.

Meniscal and articular cartilage lesions in the anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knee: correlation between time from injury and knee scores.

Purpose: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is associated with meniscal tears and/or articular cartilage damage. The aim of this study was twofold: (a) to report and correlate the incidence of meniscal and cartilage lesions in ACL-deficient knees with time from injury and (b) to correlate lesions of menisci and cartilage with widely used knee scores.

Methods: Data were analysed from 109 consecutive patients with ACL rupture.

A comparison of early versus delayed repair of traumatic rotator cuff tears.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results between early and delayed operative treatment in patients with traumatic rotator cuff tears (RCT).

Methods: Thirty-five patients with a traumatic RCT who have been treated surgically during a 4-year period were included in the study. The results of early versus delayed repair of traumatic rotator RCT were assessed using the Constant and UCLA scores.
