Three-dimensional flow characteristics in aortic coarctation and poststenotic dilatation.

30 Aug 2009 The authors present findings from a scientific study in a 36-year-old male patient who was transferred for the evaluation of a restenosis in aortic coarctation that was initially treated by surgical repair. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance ... Read more...

Grade 4 spondylolisthesis of the L5 vertebra associated with dural ectasia in neurofibromatosis.

30 Jul 2009 Spondylolisthesis associated with neurofibromatosis is rare, and only 12 cases have been reported so far. However, only one report of grade 4 spondylolisthesis with neurofibromatosis has been reported in the literature. A 15-year-old boy with ... Read more...
