Prognostic Significance of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Detecting Diffuse Axonal Injuries: Analysis of Outcomes and Review of Literature.

Background: Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is the brain injury characterized by extensive lesions in the white matter tracts over a widespread area. DAI is one of the most common and devastating types of traumatic brain injury and a major cause of unconsciousness and persistent vegetative state after head trauma. It occurs in about half of all cases with severe head trauma.

Role of Bedside Transcranial Ultrasonography in the Assessment of Cerebral Hemodynamics in Decompressive Craniectomy Patients with Cranioplasty: A Single Centre Experience.

Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. After intracerebral hemorrhage, cerebral blood flow (CBF) becomes extremely low approaching ischemic thresholds. Concurrently, CBF velocities become strongly correlated to CBF itself post-injury.

Embryological considerations and evaluation of congenital anomalies of craniovertebral junction: A single-center experience.

Objectives: Craniovertebral junction (CVJ) abnormalities constitute a group of treatable neurological disorders, especially in the Indian subcontinent. Thus, it is essential that clinicians should be able to make a precise diagnosis of abnormalities and rule out important mimickers on multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) as this information ultimately helps determine the management, prognosis, and quality of life of patients. CVJ is the most complex part of the cervical region.

Isolated Intramuscular Cysticercosis of the Biceps Diagnosed on High-Resolution Ultrasonography.

High-resolution ultrasound clinches the diagnosis of intramuscular cysticercosis which is a rare finding. Here, we present a case of isolated intramuscular cysticercosis diagnosed on high-resolution ultrasonography in a 46-year-old gentleman who presented with a linear swelling in the flexor aspect of the left arm in the long head of the biceps.

Magnetic resonance assessment of medial plica syndrome of knee from child to adult with arthroscopic correlation: A single center experience and literature review.

Objective: Synovial plicae are mesenchymal tissue remnants invaginating into the knee joint. Their classification is based on the location as lateral, mediopatellar, suprapatellar, and infrapatellar. Mediopatellar plica is commonly symptomatic.

Bertolotti's syndrome in low-backache population: Classification and imaging findings.

Objective: Lumbosacral transition vertebrae (LSTVs) are associated with alterations in biomechanics and anatomy of spinal and paraspinal structures, which have important implications on surgical approaches and techniques. LSTVs are often inaccurately detected and classified on standard anteroposterior radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging. The use of whole-spine images as well as geometric relationships between the sacrum and lumbar vertebra increases accuracy.
