Cranial and spinal nerve enhancement in SURF1-associated Leigh syndrome.
Pediatr Radiol
September 2024
A 23-month-old boy with poor growth, developmental delay, and hypotonia presented with acute onset of ataxia and fatigue. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and spinal cord was performed as part of diagnostic work-up. MRI showed bilateral symmetrical lesions in basal ganglia, midbrain, and brainstem consistent with Leigh syndrome.

Our objective is to analyse the risk factors for WHIPS development and provide a detailed neuroradiological description of these haemorrhages.
Materials And Methods: A radiology information system (RIS) was searched using the search terms "shunt" and/or "catheter" and/or "drain" and/or "ventriculoperitoneal" and/or "VP" between September 2008 to January 2021 for patients < 12 months of age.
Article Synopsis
- Morning glory disc anomaly (MGDA) is a rare eye condition that is usually identified through fundoscopy, but this study focuses on its MRI characteristics in pediatric cases.
- Researchers analyzed MRI scans from 19 diagnosed MGDA patients, finding common features like funnel-shaped optic discs, abnormal tissue near the optic nerve, and changes in surrounding brain spaces.
- The study highlights the importance of MRI in differentiating MGDA from other eye disorders, understanding the visual pathway, and ruling out related brain issues, suggesting a potential genetic link to the condition.
Background: Budesonide high-volume saline irrigations (HVSIs) are routinely used to treat chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) due to improved sinonasal delivery and efficacy compared to intranasal corticosteroid sprays. The off-label use of budesonide is assumed to be safe, with several studies suggesting the systemically absorbed dose of budesonide HVSI is low. However, the actual budesonide dose retained in the sinonasal cavity following HVSI is unknown.

The objective of the present investigation was to characterize postoperative change in QOL outcomes for anterior skull base lesions following open and endoscopic surgery.
Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature was performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines using the PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Cochrane databases for studies reporting pre- and postoperative, site-specific, QOL outcome measures in ASBS using validated questionnaires.
