    Notes: Summary Gliomatosis cerebri is a rare condition characterized by diffuse overgrowth of large portions of the brain and spinal cord by glial cells in varying stages of differentiation. The tumor process is primarily an infiltrative, rather than a destructive one. Hence, pre-operative diagnosis by traditional imaging studies, including computed tomography (CT), has been difficult. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with its unique sensitivity for cerebral pathology, is an ideal modality for demonstrating this lesion. We present three cases of gliomatosis cerebri in which high-field MRI clearly delineates the extent of the pathologic process.

    Notes: Summary Three cases of giant cystic craniopharyngiomas with large areas of extension beyond the suprasellar area are presented. The magnetic resonance (MR) appearance in one case is described. These giant tumors had large, multilobulated cysts that comprised the bulk of the tumors. In one case, there was an unusual extension of the large tumor cyst into the lateral ventricle. In two cases, the tumors extended to the level of the foramen magnum. On CT, the cyst contents of these two tumors were hyperdense and became hypodense postoperatively. All three tumors harbored calcifications in the form of clumps in the suprasellar region and rim calcifications around the cysts. None of the tumors exhibited contrast enhancement. A literature review of the radiographic features of craniopharyngiomas is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Thirty-four pediatric patients, twenty with presumed and fourteen with biopsy or autopsy proven brainstem gliomas were imaged by CT and MR before radiation therapy. Twenty-eight patients received radiotherapy. Of these, eighteen fit the protocol for combined clinical and MR post-treatment evaluation. No cases of radionecrosis were seen at autopsy. This study shows that MR can demonstrate tumor response to radiation therapy, tumor progression prior to clinical deterioration, post-treatment cyst formation and hemorrhage. Although MR clinical correlation was not optimal on six week post-treatment evaluation, 4–10 month post-treatment MR scanning correlated well with clinical evaluation. MR appears useful in post-therapeutic monitoring of tumor response.

    Notes: Summary Eleven patients with sickle cell disease and neurological symptoms underwent MRI examination. Cerebral infarcts of two types were found, those in the vascular distribution of the middle cerebral artery and those in the deep white matter. In the patient whose hydration and whose oxygenation of erythrocytes has been treated, MRI offers diagnostic advantages over arteriography and CT.

    Notes: Summary In seven patients with temporal bone fractures examined by both CT and MRI, thin section CT proved superior to MRI in demonstrating the full extent of the fractures and the status of the ossicular chain. MR studies were able to demonstrate fractures, when these fractures contained blood or CSF, and the presence of ossicular dislocation in one case where the middle ear was completely filled with CSF or blood. Admixture of air in the middle ear gave a false impression of ossicular dislocation, while air in the fracture obscured portions of it. MR proved superior to CT in the evaluation of intracranial contents by showing 5 additional subdural hematomas, 2 epidural hematomas and 2 hemorrhagic contusions.

    Notes: Summary 1.5 Tesla MRI examinations were evaluated for aqueductal configuration, hydrocephalus and flow-related signal void in 70 patients with juxtaaqueductal pathology and in 20 normal controls. In the 70 cases with pathology, the aqueduct was obliterated or distorted in 34, dilated in 3, normal in 29 and not evaluable in 4. A definite flow-related signal void indicated CSF movement within the aqueduct in all normal examinations. Flow-related signal void was absent in some, but not all, patients with aqueductal obliteration and distortion. CSF turbulence can create an intra-aqueductal signal void in the dilated proximal aqueduct, despite more distal obstruction. Thus hydrocephalus related to aqueductal obstruction is frequently, but not always, associated with absence of signal void.

    Notes: Summary Two cases of superficial siderosis with subependymal siderosis, secondary to neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage, are presented. High-field spin-echo MR imaging (1.5 Tesla) showed marginal hypointensity of the ventricular walls as well as of the subpial regions. These findings were most evident on T2 weighted images, characteristic of hemosiderotic deposits.
