Educational Presentation: Spinal Cord Tumors in NF-1 and NF-2

MCastillo — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:43:43 +0000

Here is a nice and concise overview of the most common spinal cord tumors found in patients with neurofibromatosis types 1 and 2. Although we are all familiar with astrocytomas and ependymomas, we know less about intramedullary schwannomas. I hope that this brief presentation will be helpful to all of you.

Here is a nice, concise presentation on SOD. Although this is not an uncommon entity it may be sometimes confusing. I hope that trainees as well as neuroradiologists will enjoy and find it helpful.

Hirayama disease: a short review

MCastillo — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 15:48:11 +0000

For some reason, lately we have gotten several requests to perform flexion MRI studies of the cervical spine to rule out Hirayama disease. Here is a short presentation that one of our fellows, Dr. Janica Walden, prepared on this topic.

Proliferative Angiopathies (NXPowerLite)

Here is another educational presentation. We presented this electronic exhibit at this years ASNR meeting Boston. Although we are all familiar with moyamoya as a type of angiopathy, proliferative and hemorrhagic angiopathies have been recently described and are less well known. Differentiating among them is important because clinical presentation, treatment, and prognosis are different for each.

Atypical PRES (PPT)

Here is another presentation that I hope our readers and visitors will find useful and enjoy. We presented this as an “exhibit” at the past meeting of ASNR. The presentation deals with atypical MRI findings in posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.

MCastillo — Tue, 25 May 2010 16:46:40 +0000

To continue with the education activities in our blog here is another Powerpoint presentation. The author of this one is a fellow here with us in Neuroradiology at UNC. Although short, I hope that all of you find it interesting and useful.

Pitfalls of CT Angiography for Acute Stroke (FILEminimizer)

Here is my weekly educational contribution to the blog. This presentation was put together by one of previous fellows and shown at a previous ASNR annual meeting. The topic, CTA pitfalls in the evaluation of the acute stroke patient, continues to be pertinent to our daily clinical duties.

Educational presentation: CNS and head and neck teratomas

MCastillo — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:12:49 +0000

Teratomas (NXPowerLite)

Here is the next educational presentation. This was also done by some of my previous fellows. The topic is a bit unusual, but I think that the presentation is very good and should help our readers.

Educational Presentation: Fungal Sinusitis

MCastillo — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 16:23:33 +0000

In this nice presentation, one our of ex fellows in Neuroradiology, Dr. Martin, discusses the imaging findings of the different types of fungal diseases affecting the paranasal sinuses and their clinical presentations. This can be a confusing topic and we hope that this presentation will help our users and readers to understand it better.
