Idiopathic cerebral infarction is very rare in neonates and has been described as being associated with upper extremity ischemia in a handful of cases. We report on two cases in which no etiology was found and review the literature on this interesting entity.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has proven to be an ideal technique for evaluating tendons and ligaments, which, because of their fibrous structure, have a low signal intensity on all sequences. Trauma and a wide variety of other conditions cause aberrations in the normal appearance of these structures, ranging from minor alterations in shape, size, appearance, and continuity to various changes in signal intensity within the tendon, tendon sheath, and ligament on different sequences. The purpose of this paper is to review MRI findings in patients with abnormalities of tendons and ligaments in the spine and upper extremities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
