This is one of our published cases that illustrates the necessity of a neuroradiology expert when dealing with neuroimaging and neurological symptoms.

Comparison to prior studies and knowledge of a relatively uncommon entity led the neurology team to the correct diagnosis. Click on the image to see the case.
