RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the incidence, characteristics, and variations of the falcine sinus with contrast-enhanced three-dimentional (3D) thin-section magnetic resonance (MR) images. MATERIALS AND METHODS: retrospective review identified 1531 patients (745 males and 786 females, 2 months to 85 years) who underwent cranial MR imaging including T1-weighted imaging, T2-weighted imaging, T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, contrast-enhanced 3D thin-section sagittal scans, and MR venography, from June 2014 to January 2016. The incidence, characteristics of the falcine sinus, and coexisted intracranial lesions were confirmed by two neuroradiologists. RESULTS: Falcine sinuses were identified in 81 (38 males and 43 females) cases (5.3%, 81/1531, 5 months to 76 years of age) with calibers ranging from 2.3 mm to 17.0 mm. Three major forms of falcine sinuses were defined: arch-like (n = 47), stick-like (n = 22), and bifurcated (n = 12). Persistent falcine sinuses were found in 57 cases, among which 3 cases showed complicated cerebral anomalies, and 2 cases showed smaller straight sinuses. Recanalization of falcine sinuses were found in 24 cases, including 17 cases with tumor compression, 6 cases with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, and one case with hypertrophic meningitis. CONCLUSION: Falcine sinus is not as rare as has been reported previously. Most falcine sinuses are not associated with congenital cerebral abnormalities. Diseases that cause increased pressure in the venous sinus may lead to recanalization of falcine sinus. Illustrating the characteristics of falcine sinus may prompt a more comprehensive understanding and diagnosis of associated diseases, and avoid potential surgical damage in the future.

RESUMEN

<p><b>Objective</b>To analyze the MRI manifestations of Peyronie's disease and investigate the value of high-field MRI in the diagnosis of the disease.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Using a small surface coil, we performed 3.0 Tesla MRI for 14 patients with clinically diagnosed Peyronie's disease. The MRI protocol included routine sequences (T1WI, T2WI, and enhanced T1WI) and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI). Each patient had received 2-4 penile ultrasound examinations previously. We compared the MRI findings with the results of ultrasonography.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>MRI manifested 25 penile plaques in the 14 patients, 3 (7 plaques) with inflammation, 4 (8 plaques) with fibrosis, and the other 7 (10 plaques) with calcification displaying a low signal intensity on SWI. Ultrasonography had revealed the 10 calcified plaques in all the 20 examinations, but exhibited the 7 inflammatory and 8 fibrotic ones in only 3 of the 23 examinations. The combination of MRI SWI sequences was necessitated for the detection of calcified plaques and achieved higher detection rates than ultrasonography for inflammatory and fibrotic plaques (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>High-field MRI has high sensitivity and accuracy in the diagnosis of Peyronie's disease, which can effectively display penile plaques of different nature in the early stage through multi-parametric sequences.</p>
