AI Article Synopsis
- The study compares CT scans of 9 neurofibromatosis cases to traditional X-rays, highlighting specific conditions like optic nerve gliomas and plexiform neurofibromas.
- CT imaging is emphasized as essential for accurately diagnosing neurofibromatosis affecting the eyes.
- Ophthalmologists play a key role in recommending CT scans alongside other medical specialists for diagnosis, surgery, and monitoring.
Article Abstract
The computerized tomography of 9 cases of neurofibromatosis is compared with routine X-rays. Gliomas of the optic nerve, sphenoidal dysplasias, plexiform neurofibromas and buphthalmos are shown in detail. CT today is an indispensable procedure for the diagnosis of neurofibromatosis of the orbit. Often it is up to the ophthalmologist to initiate CT in collaboration with other disciplines. This holds for diagnosis, surgical interventions and the follow-up examinations.

Aim: Computed tomography (CT)-derived extracellular volume fraction (ECV) is a non-invasive method to quantify myocardial fibrosis. Evaluating CT-ECV during aortic valve replacement (AVR) planning CT in severe aortic stenosis (AS) may aid prognostic stratification. This meta-analysis evaluated the prognostic significance of CT-ECV in severe AS necessitating AVR.

Objective: To describe the presentation, outcomes, and management strategies for cases of subcapsular liver hematoma associated with preeclampsia, eclampsia, or HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count) syndrome.
Methods: This was a case series of individuals with subcapsular liver hematoma managed at a single level IV center over a 10-year period, from 2013 to 2024. Presenting signs and symptoms, laboratory findings, time of onset, management strategies, acute perinatal and maternal outcomes, and long-term outcomes such as subsequent pregnancies were reviewed in the medical record and recorded.

Craniofacial syndromes present with exorbitism and airway obstruction as a result of upper and middle facial hypoplasia. Classical subcranial Lefort III (LF III) or monobloc distraction osteogenesis (DO) using an external craniofacial device is used to treat these deformities. These procedures are done during mixed dentition, in most cases, advancing an abnormal face, to a more normal position.
