  More info

  The manuscript describes an unusual vascular anomaly. Persistence of carotid-vertebrobasilar anastomosis is a rare occurrence with presence of bilateral hypoglossal arteries (HAs) rarer still. We present a case of bilateral persistent HAs with hypoplastic vertebral arteries which end into posterior inferior cerebellar arteries. The computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging appearance, course, and other associations are discussed. A review of 6 cases of bilateral HA published in the world literature is also discussed.

  More info

  Segmental, depressed fractures of the posterolateral maxillary sinus may occur as a result of trauma to the masticator space, previously described in association with mandibular fractures. The authors hypothesize that the fracture is due to a transient increase in pressure in the masticator space (blow out) and therefore should be seen in association with other regional fractures.

  More info

  Neuroimaging plays a critical role in the management of patients with acute stroke syndrome, with diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic implications. A multiparametric magnetic resonance (MR) imaging protocol in the emergency setting can address both primary goals of neuroimaging (ie, detection of infarction and exclusion of hemorrhage) and secondary goals of neuroimaging (ie, identifying the site of arterial occlusion, tissue characterization for defining infarct core and penumbra, and determining stroke cause/mechanism). MR imaging provides accurate diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and can differentiate AIS from other potential differential diagnoses.
