MRI of the brain in cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (van Bogaert-Scherer-Epstein disease).

The clinical, biochemical and magnetic resonance imaging findings of two patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis are reported. This is a rare hereditary disease. Early recognition of this entity is important in view of the existing treatment possibilities. Magnetic resonance imaging findings typically include a bilateral and almost symmetrical increase of the signal intensity on the T2-weighted images in the cerebellar and periventricular cerebral white matter, the basal ganglia, the dentate nuclei and the brainstem as well as cerebellar and cerebral atrophy.

[Osteoid osteoma of the spine].

High resolution CT has become crucial to the definite diagnosis, accurate localisation and extension of benign spinal tumors. An osteoid osteoma mostly suspected by X-ray or scintigraphy, located in the axial skeleton--mainly of spongious content and with a complex anatomical structure--will be definitely more distinctly visualized on CT. Post-operative evaluation also requires CT.
