Article Synopsis
- The study reviews the risks of MRI scans in pediatric patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), focusing on those with epicardial or abandoned leads, where guidelines discourage routine scans.
- A multicenter review analyzed 314 patients who underwent 389 MRIs from 2007 to 2022, assessing any adverse events or significant changes to their CIEDs post-scan.
- Results showed only a small incidence of symptoms or CIED changes (4.9% of MRIs), suggesting that MRIs can be safely conducted for these patients without major complications.
Angioleiomyomas (ALMs) are cutaneous and soft tissue lesions usually seen in the lower extremities of middle-aged women. The lesions are nodular, mulberry like, and composed of vessels of varying size with abundant intervening smooth muscle; an arterial component is absent. Intracranial examples are exceedingly rare, with <10 cases reported to date, and are usually dural in location.
