A recent study found that increased optic canal area on magnetic resonance imaging was associated with worse papilloedema in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). We repeated this study using more accurate computerized tomography derived measurements. Optic canal dimensions were measured from 42 IIH patients and 24 controls.

Purpose To describe and classify the range of brain injuries present at prenatal, in-utero magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in co-twin survivors of monochorionic (MC) twin pregnancies complicated by single intrauterine death (SIUD). Materials and Methods This retrospective, observational study from six tertiary fetal medicine centers that perform tertiary-level prenatal in-utero MR studies reviewed cases in which prenatal in-utero MR imaging had shown a brain injury in a surviving co-twin of a twin pregnancy with a MC component complicated by SIUD. Results Forty-two surviving MC twins were described.

The 2010 revisions of the McDonald Criteria have simplified imaging criteria, such that a diagnosis of MS can be made on a single contrast-enhanced MRI scan in the appropriate clinical context. New disease-modifying therapies have proven effective in reducing relapse rate and severity.
