Issue: 12(7) :: Pages: 10-15
| Abstract: Left ventricular non-compaction is an overall rare cardiomyopathy; however, it is increasingly being recognized with advances in imaging technology. We present the case of a 47-year-old man with new diagnosis of heart failure and left ventricular non-compaction. We review the literature regarding diagnostic imaging criteria and management of this condition.

Aneurysmal bone cyst of the frontal bone - A radiologic-pathologic correlation by Anne-Laure Hermann et al. |
Published: 2018 July
Issue: 12(7) :: Pages: 16-24
| Abstract: We present a case of 27-year-old female who presented for a progressive frontal swelling with ipsilateral headache. Subsequent CT scan revealed an extradural and expansile multiloculated mass with thin and strongly enhanced septations and MRI evaluation showed internal hyperintensity on T2 with no restriction of diffusion and confirmed the multiple cystic spaces with enhancing septations and rare hemorrhagic fluid-fluid levels. Surgery was performed and diagnosis of aneurysmal bone cyst was made on frozen section. Identification of USP6 fusion gene by in situ hybridization technique permitted to confirm the diagnosis of primary ABC. Although aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) of the skull is a very rare entity and accounts for 2-6% of all ABCs, we should think about it in front of osteolytic and cystic skull changes even with very few fluid-fluid levels. Following description of our case and differential diagnoses, we conduct a literature review of skull ABCs imaging characteristics and discuss the interest of USP6 rearrangement identification.

Acute Infarction in the Artery of Percheron Distribution during Cerebral Angiography: A Case Report and Literature Review by Pao-Chun Lin et al. |
Published: 2018 July
Issue: 12(7) :: Pages: 1-9
| Abstract: Improvements in techniques, contrast agents, and catheter design have significantly decreased angiography-related neurological deficits and complications. This article reports a case involving an angiographic total obliteration arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in a patient with an acute infarction in the artery of Percheron (AOP) distribution following angiography. Furthermore, imaging of an AOP acute infarction in cerebral angiography is presented.
