Melnick-Needles syndrome. Four new cases.

Melnick-Needles syndrome is a rare connective tissue disorder producing somatic abnormalities with characteristic radiographic features. There are less than 35 documented cases reported to date. We present four new cases of Melnick-Needles Syndrome, one of which is the first reported Asian-ancestry patient. Two girls are daughters of one of Needle's original patients from family #2. Two others, from unrelated non-affected families, probably represent new mutations. All have characteristic radiographic features of the disorder.

The neuroradiology of visual disturbances.

The neuroradiology of visual deficits has advanced dramatically in recent years. Plain film evaluation of the orbit and face remains useful in the emergency room for the evaluation of trauma. High-resolution coronal CT remains the method of choice in the assessment of serious injury to the orbit and in cases of penetrating metallic foreign body. The contrast-enhanced orbital CT provides useful information in cases of tumor and infection and when the bones of the face or skull are involved. MRI has largely replaced CT in the search for brain infarct, brain tumor, and cerebral inflammatory and demyelinating processes. MRI is the study of choice in all cases of sellar and parasellar disease. It offers high-resolution images in any plane. GTPA enhancement has provided additional information from MRI without significant risk. The final selection of an imaging modality should be based upon the clinical presentation and any physical limitations of the patient.

Disablement and eye contact.

This study investigated the effect of height level and wheelchair presence on eye contact and interaction. Presence of a wheelchair increased eye contact to a standing colleague, possibly due to the wheelchair-confined individuals' perceived dependence on others.
