We present the case of T.F., a 28-year-old woman diagnosed with corpus callosum dysgenesis and colpocephaly. The diagnosis is based on cerebral imaging – magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerised tomography (CT).
We present the case of a 60 year-old woman diagnosed with meningiomatosis (multiple sporadic meningiomas), in the absence of neurofibromatosis type 2. The cerebral computerized axial tomography (CT scan) revealed six expansive lesions (one isodense and five spontaneously hyperdense partially or completely calcified), which at the cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination showed typical features of meningiomas. Case particularity: the very low incidence of sporadic multiple meningiomas and a rare cause of secondary epilepsy.
Intraventricular tumors are a rare cerebral pathology, often with a silent clinical evolution, diagnosed incidentally during cerebral imaging techniques (CT, MRI) while looking for other diseases, or diagnosed per se if they have a noisy evolution due to local complications. It is difficult to establish their etiology using indirect signs-localization, density, intensity, vascularization, other characteristics, and patient's age. The purpose of this article is to present a case of silent intraventricular tumor, discovered incidentally during a CT for a suspicion of acute ischemic stroke, and to summarize the medical legal consequences of this pathology.
We report the case of a 68 year-old female (O.F.), referred to our clinic for a neurological evaluation after an episode of loss of consciousness that occurred three days before admittance. She was also diagnosed with cognitive impairment (July 2011). Case particularity: the MRI examination, which was the investigation of choice in this case, revealed structural brain abnormalities – dysgenesis of the corpus callosum.
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.
