Zinc Therapy of Neurological Wilson's Disease in a Woman with Two Foetus with A...

Caso Clínico: Doente com doença de Wilson (DW) diagnosticada 22 anos antes, tratada inicialmente com sucesso com zinco, desenvolveu doença neuropsiquiátrica após anos de terapêutica irregular. A reintrodução do zinco foi eficaz. Após gravidez normal, teve duas interrupções terapêuticas por agenésias do corpo caloso fetal, e um caso de morte fetal. Fez-se revisão da genética, fisiopatologia, resposta clínica e i...

Angiographic evaluation and embolization of cervico-cranial tumors -- juvenile ...

INTRODUCTION: The goal of pre-operative embolization is tumoral desvascularization, with decrease of intraoperative hemorrhage and shortening of operation time and, consequently, decrease operative morbility. The authors review their experience in angiographic evaluation and preoperative embolization of paragangliomas and juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA). PATIENTS AND METHODS/RESULTS: There were revie...

A Ressonância Magnética no Diagnóstico Pré-Natal de Anomalias do SNC. A Propósi...

A ressonância magnética nuclear (RMN) é um meio complementar de diagnóstico que só recentemente começou a ser utilizado na investigação de patologia fetal. São enormes as suas potencialidades sobretudo no esclarecimento de dificuldades de diagnóstico suscitadas pela ecografia e perante situações de risco acrescido de anomalias congénitas do sistema nervoso central. Os autores efectuaram uma avaliação retrospect...

Contribution of angiography in the pre-operative evaluation of 24 jugulo-tympan...

The contribution of carotid and vertebral angiography for surgical planning, particularly for the infratemporal approach, in 24 jugulotympanic paragangliomas with otoneurological symptoms is discussed. These symptoms included peripheral facial palsy, sensorineural hypoacusis, labyrinthine and nervous syndrome of the jugular foramen. Angiography was essential for the diagnosis of these tumors and, above all, for...

Development of the embolization technique for cerebral and spinal marrow arteri...

The authors revised 4 cases of large AVM's--3 cerebral and 1 medullary--illustrating the evolution of their technique of endovascular occlusion. These embolizations always preceding the surgery have their interest discussed in terms of the clinical grounds, the easiest access to the nidus and the possibilities of preventing some of the surgical risks. ; The authors revised 4 cases of large AVM's--3 cerebral an...

The foramen rotundum artery--angiographic characterization and clinical signifi...

Défice visual pós-traumático com agravamento tardio associado a aneurisma da ar...

A posttraumatic visual deficit which worsened eleven weeks later, with sudden visual loss, is reported. The neuro-ophthalmologic examination was suggestive of central retina artery occlusion. The intra-arterial angiography revealed a traumatic pseudo-aneurysm of the ipsilateral high extracranial portion of the internal carotid artery. Based upon the clinical examination, the hypothesis of embolization has been ...

Angiographic diagnosis of intracranial aneurysms: study of the experience of th...

In this work, 139 intra-cranial aneurysms diagnosed at the Egas Moniz Hospital were studied, from 1980 to the first quarter of 1992. The nature of this type of lesions was discussed, and aneurysms were defined as an abnormal and segmental dilatation of an intracranial artery wall. A statistical study was performed, including 67 cases after selection, corresponding to 71 aneurysms. Of these, 39% originated from ...

A case of Wilson's disease studied using magnetic resonance: a new approach?.

Wilson's disease is a genetically determined disorder of copper metabolism with increased deposition in brain and liver. With current imaging techniques--CT scan and conventional Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)--it has been possible to demonstrate oedema, neuronal loss and reactive gliosis, but not copper deposition. In the present study we report the observations, done in one patient, using a new high magneti...

Semiologic considerations and clinical significance of magnetic resonance in 11...

The author's experience with high-field Magnetic Resonance (Signa, 1.5 T, G.E.) in 11 cases of intracranial aneurysms (6 presenting as space lesion and 5 with symptoms of rupture) is reported. Spin-echo, gradient-echo and GRASS (fast-scan or flip-angle) sequences have been used and results compared with those of CT-scan and angiography. Magnetic Resonance findings, relating to blood flow and oxidation of haemog...
