OBJECTIVE To describe the characteristic CT, MR, and angiographic features of giant serpentine aneurysms and discuss their endovascular treatment. METHODS Thirteen patients with giant serpentine aneurysms were studied at our institution in the last 3 years. They all underwent CT and MR studies as

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is characterized by nonpitting, nonpruritic subcutaneous, or submucosal edema that may be accompanied by a nonpruritic serpentine erythematous rash. The swelling in this autosomal dominantly inherited disorder is mediated by uncontrolled localized bradykinin production.

In humans, high-grade gliomas may infiltrate across the corpus callosum resulting in bihemispheric lesions that may have symmetrical, winged-like appearances. This particular tumor manifestation has been coined a "butterfly" glioma (BG). While canine and human gliomas share many neuroradiological

OBJECTIVE To explore the sonographic characteristics of intraveous leiomyomatosis (IVL) with intracardiac extension and improve its diagnosis. METHODS The clinical and sonographic data of 13 female patients with pathologically confirmed IVL with intracardiac extension who were treated in our

Although glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a World Health Organization grade IV astrocytoma, is the most common primary brain tumor in humans, in dogs GBM is relatively rare, accounting for only about 5% of all astrocytomas. This study presents combined clinical, neuroimaging, and neuropathologic

OBJECTIVE Idiopathic and diabetic-associated muscle necrosis are similar, uncommon clinical entities requiring conservative management and minimal intervention to avoid complications and prolonged hospitalization. An early noninvasive diagnosis is therefore essential. We evaluated the magnetic

Idiopathic lymphedema is a condition where lymph accumulates in subcutaneous tissue without a clear cause. Likewise, idiopathic portal hypertension is a syndrome where intrahepatic peripheral portal branch obstruction causes portal hypertension without a clear cause. We encountered a 37-year-old man

OBJECTIVE To correlate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features with the histopathologic findings in subchondral insufficiency fracture (SIF) of the femoral head. METHODS This study was based on a retrospective review of the MRI features and histopathologic findings in seven patients with SIF

We report a patient with a previously undiagnosed spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) who became acutely paraplegic following a lumbar epidural steroid injection for lumbar spinal stenosis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple flow voids and serpentine vessels on the cord surface with

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) is the most common spinal vascular malformation, however it is still rare and underdiagnosed. Magnetic resonance imaging findings such as spinal cord edema and dilated and tortuous perimedullary veins play a pivotal role in the confirmation of the
