THE CLINICAL ACTIVITY SCORE IN MANAGEMENT OF GRAVES’ OPHTHALMOPATHY: CORRELATION WITH ORBITAL MR IMAGING.
Our aime was to investigate the correlation between GO ocular parameters obtained by MRI with contrast administration and the well-know clinical indicators of GO and to examine the relationship between the clinical course of hyperthyroidism and GO severity
Presacral Myelolipoma
Many reports have described adrenal myelolipomas but there have been only a few reports of extra-adrenal myelolipomas. We describe a 74-year-old woman who came to our observa- tion for MRI of the lumbar spine for typical lumbar back pain. In addition to signs of mild scoliosis and spondylo disc arthrosis, MR imaging revealed a presacral mass showing a heterogeneously high signal in all pulse sequences and almost completely suppressed on inversion recovery sequences for fat tissue. CT imaging confirmed the fatty nature of the lesion and no signs of bone involvement. These findings were most consistent with a diagnosis of a rare presacral myelolipoma as confirmed at histopathologic analysis. …
