Review Case Reports
Elephantiasis neuromatosa in neurofibromatis type I. MRI findings with review of the literature.
We report the case of a patient with NF-1 who presented with gross elephantiasis neuromatosa of her right leg. Prior to plastic surgery, Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Angiography (MRI and MRA) were performed to provide a detailed assessment of the extension as well as the vascular and muscular involvement of the neurofibroma.

Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Can multislice helical computed tomography replace conventional angiography in the diagnosis of non traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage?].
To evaluate the reliability of CT angiography in the diagnosis of non traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. ⋯ CT angiography can be considered as a first line imaging technique for diagnosis of non traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, conventional angiography including three dimensional acquisitions must be performed for all cases where the cause of hemorrhage remains undiagnosed at CT angiography.

To use perfusion-CT technique in order to characterize cerebral vascular autoregulation in a population of severe head trauma patients with features of cerebral edema either on the admission or on the follow-up conventional noncontrast cerebral CT. ⋯ Perfusion-CT in severe head trauma patients was able to provide direct and quantitative assessment of cerebral vascular autoregulation with a single measurement. It could hence be used as a guide for brain edema therapy, as well as to monitor the treatment efficiency.
