Prognostic significance of tuber count and location in tuberous sclerosis complex.

The objectives of this study were (1) to test the utility of tuber count and tuber location as biomarkers of disease severity in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex and (2) to examine the relationship between gene mutation, tuber count, and tuber location. We found that an increased tuber count per lobe and in total was associated with an increased risk of infantile spasms (P < .01).

Meningioma presented as subarachnoid haemorrhage: case report.

A case of parasagittal meningioma causing subarachnoidal haemorrhage (SAH) is reported. Computed tomography (CT) was found negative in the patient with acute severe headache and haemorrhage was observed on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) showed an avascular space over the convexity and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed the tumour.

Tibialis posterior tendon abnormalities in feet with accessory navicular bone and flatfoot.

To assess tibialis posterior tendon (TPT) pathology, we investigated 27 feet with the accessory navicular bone and 22 normal feet by MRI. We found two major anatomical differences in the feet with the accessory navicular bone; the TPT directly inserted in the accessory navicular bone, without any continuity to the sole of the foot or with a slip, less than 1 mm in thickness, and there was a mass with the density of fibrocartilage tissue, between the tendon and the bone in 20/27 feet. These abnormalities were not detected in the control group.

Subcapsular hemorrhage of adult Wilms' tumor.

Wilms' tumor is a rare malignancy of kidney in adults. It usually cannot be differentiated from other renal masses preoperatively. This is a presentation of a case of adult Wilms' tumor who developed spontaneous hemorrhage during radiological evaluation.
