Abstract
CT and MR angiograms (CTA and MRA) often show a double lumen (circulating or non-circulating), double lumen mimics, flaps and flap-like lesions. Interpreting these radiological abnormalities is important since their causes range from benign variants to high-risk disorders. This review illustrates the radiological characteristics of a double lumen or a flap on standard CTA and MRA/MRI and discusses their causes.
期刊介绍:
The essential point of Practical Neurology is that it is practical in the sense of being useful for everyone who sees neurological patients and who wants to keep up to date, and safe, in managing them. In other words this is a journal for jobbing neurologists - which most of us are for at least part of our time - who plough through the tension headaches and funny turns week in and week out. Primary research literature potentially relevant to routine clinical practice is far too much for any neurologist to read, let alone understand, critically appraise and assimilate. Therefore, if research is to influence clinical practice appropriately and quickly it has to be digested and provided to neurologists in an informative and convenient way.
