Methods Of Treatment

The syndrome of the "empty" Turkish saddle (PTS) is one of the poorly studied problems of neuroendocrinology. The urgency of this problem has increased at the present time with the widespread use in the diagnosis of the non-invasive method of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as well as with the increase in the number of patients exposed to radiation, surgical, combined exposure due to pituitary adenoma. The term "PTS syndrome" should be understood as the prolapse of the suprasellar tank into the cavity of the Turkish saddle with the pituitary gland spreading along the bottom and walls of the Turkish saddle, accompanied by endocrine, neurological and visual impairment. There are primary (idiopathic) and secondary PTS, which occurs after radiation, surgical and combined methods of treatment of diseases of the chiasm-sellar region. This review will focus mainly on primary PTS syndrome.

Abstract. For more than a decade, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been routinely employed in clinical diagnostics because it allows non-invasive studies of anatomical structures and physiological processes in vivo and to differentiate between healthy and pathological states, particularly of soft tissue. Here, we demonstrate that MRI can likewise be applied to fossilized biological samples and help in elucidating paleopathological and paleoecological questions: Five anomalous guards of Jurassic and Cretaceous belemnites are presented along with putative paleopathological diagnoses directly derived from 3D MR images with microscopic resolution. Syn vivo deformities of both the mineralized internal rostrum and the surrounding former soft tissue can be traced back in part to traumatic events of predator-prey-interactions, and partly to parasitism. Besides, evidence is presented that the frequently observed anomalous apical collar might be indicative of an inflammatory disease. These findings highlight the potential of Magnetic Resonance techniques for further paleontological applications.

Myocardial Crypts

Myocardial diverticula are rare and incidental fi ndings. They are most probably congenital anomalies of the cardiac wall, mainly of the left ventricle (LV), which in the majority of the cases are associated with other anomalies – cardiac, vascular or thoraco-abdominal. The lack of specifi c clinical symptoms and electrocardiographic changes in the presence of cardiac diverticulum, make them most commonly an incidental fi nding during a diagnostic imaging examination. The diagnosis of LV diverticulum can be made with echocardiography, left ventriculography, computed tomography or magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI). Among all, MRI gives the best morphologic assessment of the ventricular wall, the location and the relation of the diverticulum to surrounding structures and its dynamic behaviour during systole and diastole. MRI can rule out infl ammatory, traumatic and ischemic cardiac pathology, and cardiomyopathy, and thus differentiate the diverticulum from another entity – myocardial crypts, pathologically formed focal aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm of the LV. Therefore, MRI is the preferred non-invasive method for evaluating the cardiac wall in detail and helps to differentiate and defi nitively diagnose congenital cardiac diverticulum, which in most cases does not require therapeutic intervention.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Mri

Ten children aged 1 week to 13 years with 12 vascular abnormalities were examined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other imaging modalities. MRI was the only single non-invasive modality that demonstrated all lesions and their internal structures. The vascular nature of 3 hemangiomas could not be established with MRI alone. No marked differences in MRI appearance was seen in 5 cases with vascular tumors compared with 5 cases with other vascular abnormalities. The status of the blood in the vascular lesions as flowing fast, slow, or not at all was successfully assessed in 9 of the 12 lesions.

A Prospective Study

A prospective study of 32 patients was carried out to investigate the significance of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosis of triangular fibrocartilage (TFC) lesions. Tears of the TFC can be diagnosed well by means of static MRI and arthroscopy. Dynamic MRI examination has an advantage in evaluating the stability of the TFC and ulnocarpal impingement. By means of dynamic MRI it was possible to make a preoperative diagnosis of an ulnocarpal impingement in five patients, a diagnosis which was confirmed through arthroscopy in all cases. In three further patients, dynamic MRI showed ulnocarpal impingement caused by instability of the ulnar attachment of the TFC. This kind of impingement could not be ascertained arthroscopically. Dynamic MRI extends the possibilities of evaluating obscure ulnar wrist pain. Its significance lies in the non-invasive examination of ulnocarpal impingement as well as the evaluation of TFC stability.
