Interval computed tomography in multiple sclerosis.

Computed tomography demonstrated areas of abnormal attenuation in the white matter in 14 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Nine were studied two or more times. Acute MS lesions exhibit decreased or normal attenuation without contrast enhancement and increased attenuation with it. On later scans these lesions show decreased attenuation with or without contrast material. Some lesions remain decreased in attenuation and some become normal both with and without contrast material.

Ocular manifestations of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.

We report a case of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) with severe peripheral chorioretinal pigment changes in addition to the more typical pigment clumping in the macula. The differential diagnosis of peripheral inactive chorioretinitis, the typical ocular findings, and clinical course of SSPE are discussed.

Agenesis of the corpus callosum revealed by computerized tomography.

Computerized tomography is a new, safe, non-invasive method of diagnosing intracranial disorders. It has been used in the detection of intracranial tumors, hydrocephalus, hemorrhages, atrophy, abscesses and subdural hematomata. Two cases of agenesis of the corpus callosum are presented, in which the diagnosis was made or confirmed by computerized tomography. The embryology, clinical course and radiological aspects of the disorder are reviewed.

Computerized tomography in the detection of intracranial metastases in children.

Computerized tomography brain scans produce sectional tomograms of the brain substance which demonstrate intracranial lesions. The procedure is safe and painless, and can be done on an outpatient basis. Three children with malignant disease had intracranial metastases demonstrated using this technique during a recent six-month period at the Cleveland Clinic.
