Can I read MRI of the optic nerve in benign intracranial hypertension on EtoBox?
MRI of the optic nerve in benign intracranial hypertension by A. Gass; G. J. Barker; P. Riordan-Eva; D. MacManus; M. Sanders; P. S. Tofts; W. I. McDonald; I. F. Moseley; D. H. Miller is a Medicine article available to read on EtoBox.
What is MRI of the optic nerve in benign intracranial hypertension about?
We investigated the MRI appearance of the optic nerve and its cerebrospinal-fluid-containing sheath in 17 patients with benign intracranial hypertension (BIH) and 15 normal controls. Using phased-array local coils, 3-mm coronal T2-weighted fat-suppressed fast spin-echo images were obtained with an in-plane resolution of < 0.39 mm. The optic nerve and its sheath were clearly differentiated. An enlarged, elongated subarachnoid space around the optic nerve was demonstrated in patients with BIH. High-resolution MRI of the optic nerve offers additional information which may be of value for diagnosis and in planning and monitoring treatment.
Who reads MRI of the optic nerve in benign intracranial hypertension?
