RESUMO

In summary, MR imaging characteristics of a case of paraganglioma of the facial nerve are reported. The relationship of paragangliomas and the chromaffin system have been discussed. There are many reports of cases of synchronous paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas. These reports, along with simultaneous involvement in familial MEN syndromes, and the common embrylogic origin (neural crest) and similar histopathologic relationships between paragangliomas and pheochromocytoma, all support the fact that they are part of the chromaffin system.

RESUMO

The clinical course of acute otitis media is usually short, and the process terminates because of the host's immune system, the infection-resistant properties of the mucosal linings, and the susceptibility of the major organisms (beta-hemolytic streptococcus or pneumococcus) to penicillin. However, a small proportion (1% to 5%) of untreated or inadequately treated patients may experience complications. Prior to the development of an intracranial complication of otomastoiditis, warning symptoms or signs may be evident; these include severe earache, severe headache, vertigo, chills and fever, and meningeal symptoms and signs. Increasing headache, particularly temporoparietal headache near the affected ear, often indicates an impending intracranial complication. This symptom, often the only indication of an epidural abscess, demands prompt investigation and medical and surgical intervention. In our experience, computed tomography (CT) permits accurate diagnosis of acute coalescent or latent (masked) mastoiditis and its associated complications. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains the study of choice to evaluate otogenic intracranial complications. This article demonstrates the important role of MRI in diagnosing various stages of acute otomastoiditis and its associated complications.

RESUMO

The presence and extent of encephalopathy were evaluated in 47 patients with AIDS or AIDS-related complex (ARC) by the use of MR imaging. Twenty-nine (62%) of the patients showed some form of white matter disease, exhibited as high signal intensity on T2-weighted images. Focal white matter lesions were seen in 23 (49%) of the patients, while a diffuse white matter process was observed in six patients (13%). Of the 29 patients who had white matter disease on MR scans, 17 (36%) had a suggestion of white matter involvement on an initial CT study. Meanwhile, 12 (26%) of the patients had a normal CT scan on the initial examination. MR findings showed predominant disease in the subinsular and peritrigonal white matter areas. Marked cerebral atrophy was observed in 17 (36%) of 47 patients, cerebellar atrophy in 18 (38%), and brainstem atrophy in seven patients (15%). Pathologic findings showed that toxoplasmosis was present in eight patients (17%), and primary CNS lymphoma was present in three patients (6%). Cryptococcal meningitis was noted in two (4%) of the patients at autopsy, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis was seen in one (2%) of the patients at autopsy. MR imaging has been shown to be a valuable technique for the detection of encephalopathy in AIDS patients.

RESUMO

To evaluate the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of leukocoric eyes, the authors studied 28 patients with either leukocoria or intraocular mass with a 1.5-tesla (T) MRI imager. Retinoblastomas were reliably distinguished from Coats' disease, toxocariasis, and persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous on the basis of MRI findings. Calcification cannot be reliably detected on MRI scans. Lesions elevated less than 4 mm may not be detected reliably by MRI at this time. Computed tomography (CT) can detect calcification with a high degree of accuracy. Retinoblastomas appeared as moderately hyperintense masses on T1- and proton-weighted MRIs. They became hypointense in T2-weighted MRIs. This MRI characteristic is similar to that of uveal melanoma. Intraocular calcification in children especially younger than 3 years of age is highly suggestive of retinoblastoma. In the diagnosis of retinoblastoma, MRI is not as specific as CT because of its lack of sensitivity in detecting calcification. However, MRI, because of its superior contrast resolution, offers more information in the differentiation of pathologic intraocular conditions responsible for leukocoria. The authors also describe their preliminary work of in vitro proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy of eyes with retinoblastoma and an eye with uveal melanoma in an 18-year-old black woman.
