OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the economic impact and diagnostic utility of computed tomography (CT) in the management of emergency department (ED) patients presenting with headache and nonfocal physical examinations.
METHODS
Computerized medical records from 2 major community hospitals were retrospectively
The authors present the case of a previously healthy 12-year-old male with intractable seizures localized to a right frontal area of encephalomalacia and porencephalic cyst who underwent resection of the seizure focus. The surgical resection cavity extended into the right lateral ventricle, and due
Radiological findings of Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) in patients with different etiologies are presented in our study. The study included 12 patients (seven females, five males) for whom radiological examinations were requested due to reasons such as epilepsy, mental retardation, and/or
A 14-year-old male presented with paresthesias on the right upper and lower extremities, headache, and vomiting. In addition to worsening paresthesia and weakness on the right side of his body, blurred vision, fever, and skin lesions developed. He also had skin lesions characterized with 3-10 mm
BACKGROUND
Children presenting to the emergency department with acute psychosis or hallucinations sometimes undergo a head CT to evaluate for a causative lesion. The diagnostic yield of head CT in this scenario has not been reported.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the yield for head CT in children with
A 20-year-old woman recently diagnosed with acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy developed headaches, weakness, and paresthesias. MR imaging of the brain revealed an acute infarct (demonstrated by diffusion-weighted images) in the head of the right caudate nucleus, a chronic
The authors describe the use of MR in a patient who underwent prefrontal sonic treatment for relief of intractable headaches. MR demonstrated well-demarcated regions of encephalomalacia within the white matter of the frontal lobe (with relative sparing of cortex) in a characteristic conical volume
Three cases of brain abscess following an occlusion of the internal carotid artery were reported. Case 1: A 6-year-old girl with congenital heart disease was admitted with headache, disturbance of consciousness and left hemiparesis. Right carotid angiography revealed an occlusion of the right
Though cryptococcal meningitis (CM) is recognized as a disease of the immunocompromised, studies have implicated that it also affect immunocompetent patients.
This was a cross sectional study conducted in the Department of Medicine of a tertiary teaching institution in North India. All the patients

A 36-year-old homosexual man with 6 months of visual symptoms and headaches had right homonymous hemianopia, mild new learning impairment, and alexia with agraphia. The initial brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan was reported consistent with left occipital infarction. Subsequent MRI
A 19-year-old woman with congenital cyanotic heart disease (Epstein anomaly and ventricular septal defect) had persistent headaches and intermittent fever for five weeks. Physical examination revealed central cyanosis, finger clubbing and fever. The leucocyte count was elevated. Cerebral MR imaging
The authors report the unusual case of a 58-year-old woman (MJP) suffering from left temporal throbbing headache, associated with confusion. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a 5 x 3 x 2 cm hematoma at the left posterior temporal--parietal junction (PTPJ). Repeated MRI of MJP's brain performed
Gall bladder cancer (GBC) is associated with abdominal pain, lump, nausea, vomiting, and jaundice due to either gall bladder mass or the involved adjacent peritoneal structures. Gall bladder cancer presenting as refractory epilepsy is rare. Here we report a young female GBC patient who UNASSIGNED
Several different mutations have been reported in patients with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL). We present a unique case with transversion not involving cysteine on neurogenic locus notch homolog protein 3
