Abstract Some infants with perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (PAS) experience development of cerebral palsy (CP), epilepsy, and cognitive impairment, whereas others have a normal outcome. Previous prognostic studies rarely included all diagnosed cases PAS within population. Among 199,176 born Kaiser Permanente from 1997 to 2002, we electronically identified head imaging reports physician diagnoses suggesting stroke. The diagnosis was confirmed by review brain medical records. Presentation...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-antibody associated disease (MOGAD) is an increasingly recognized cause of demyelinating in children. The purpose this study to characterize the CNS imaging manifestations pediatric MOGAD and identify clinical variables with relapse. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> We retrospectively identified children serum antibody-positive evaluated at our institution between 1997 2020. Clinical demographic data were collected. MRIs brain,...
Third and fourth branchial apparatus anomalies are rare congenital anomalies. The purpose of this study was to investigate imaging features these lesions on fetal MR in comparison with lymphatic malformations, the major competing differential diagnosis cases.A retrospective review our institutional database between 1997 2019 resulted 4 patients confirmed third 14 malformations. were reviewed by consensus, Fisher exact test used evaluate statistically significant differences 2...
Vasogenic edema and sulcal effusions, resulting from leakage of proteinaceous fluid in the brain parenchyma leptomeningeal spaces, became a topic interest several years ago when it apparent that was somewhat common adverse event (AE) amyloid-lowering therapies, where later hypothesized to be caused by removal amyloid plaque within brain. It even given dedicated name, ARIA-E [Sperling, Lancet Neurol 2012], began systematically monitored all such subsequent clinical trials. While those...
To describe a novel sonographic finding useful in detecting ACC. During routine ultrasound (US) at 20 weeks' gestation, we noted an unusual appearance of the midline CNS just cephalad to expected location cavum septum pellucidum (CSP). Other features suggested ACC, which MRI confirmed. We retrospectively reviewed prior cases and prospectively imaged this region on fetal anatomy exams determine whether was present other ACC cases, or any normal fetuses. There were 25 suspected identified;...

Perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (PAS) is the most common cause of hemiplegic cerebral palsy, but its not well understood, nor have risk factors been clearly defined. This case-control study was nested within a cohort 199,176 infants born in years 1997–2002 managed care organization providing to residents northern California. Each 40 cases, diagnosed by cranial magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography scanning, paired with 3 controls randomly chosen from population. The population...
