Introduction: Magnetic resonance imaging is recognized as the most important diagnostic test in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, differential diagnosis and evaluation of progression/therapeutic response. However, to make optimal use of magnetic resonance imaging in multiple sclerosis, the use of a standard, reproducible and comparable imaging protocol is of uttermost importance. In this context, the Portugu...

The epidermal nevus syndrome is characterized by several developmental anomalies associated with an epidermal nevus. In addition to the skin, other organs commonly affected include the brain, eyes and musculoskeletal system. We report here on a 24-year-old woman with this syndrome who presented with hemifacial hypertrophy, hearing abnormalities, arrhythmia and an unusual infratentorial brain involvement.
This article reviews Malformations of Cortical Development (MCD) diagnosed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in a series of patients with epilepsy. This study spans a five year period. The frequency of these malformations was 7.1%. Most of these were focal or multifocal and the most common ones were polymicrogyria (35.3% of the patients), heterotopia (29.4%), and focal cortical dysplasia (29.4%). The frontal ...
