Background: Seizures are a common presenting complaint in pediatric patients. There are many underlying causes which may present as seizures in pediatric population, for example: febrile seizures, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, congenital malformations, certain neoplasms etc. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) plays a fundamental role in evaluation of these causes and is especially of use in identifying the structural lesions presenting as seizures.
Objectives: To assess the role of MRI(1.5 Tesla) in evaluation pediatric seizures and to study spectrum of MRI findings associated with various causes.
Methodology: A prospective study will be conducted at “Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital, Sawangi”, involving 138 pediatric patients coming to Radiology department.
Results: After statistical analysis, we expect to find effectiveness of MRI in evaluation of pediatric seizures.
Conclusion: In this study we expect to find usefulness of MRI as a diagnostic tool in assessment of pediatric seizures especially in those with structural lesions.
Lipoma arborescens is a slow-progressing intra-articular benign lesion that typically affects the knee joint's suprapatellar recess. It occurs due to lipomatous proliferation of the synovium, giving a characteristic frond-like appearance. It is a rare cause of intermittent knee pain and joint effusion. We draw attention to this rare condition to increase the knowledge of its clinical symptoms and imaging characteristics, allowing for an early diagnosis and appropriate management. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the initial and the single imaging modality to evaluate this condition in the current era.
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.
