Have MULTIPLE questions about MULTIPLE sclerosis?
Having trouble seeing neuromyelitis optica?
In a fog about MOG?
Here’s the cheat sheet you NEED to distinguish the demyelinating diseases!
Demyelinating diseases predominantly involve the optic nerves, brain, & spine.
The three main chronic demyelinating diseases are Multiple sclerosis (most common), neuromyelitis optica (NMO), & myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody associated disease or MOGAD
Each has its own features in the optic nerve, brain, & spine. Here’s how to remember them!
MS
Optic nerve:
MS only has 2 letters, so MS involvement of the optic nerve tends to be short segment
Brain:
Letter M makes the shape of the perivascular distribution of lesions along the ventricles (Dawson’s fingers)
Letter S makes the shape of the subcortical U fiber involvement
Spine:
MS is only 2 letters, so lesions are usually less than 2 vertebral bodies in length
NMO
Optic nerve:
NMO is a longer abbreviation, three letters, so longer involvement
NMO can stand for Near My Occiput. Occiput is posterior, so more posterior nerve involvement
Brain:
NMO can stand for Near My Ocean. What is your brain’s ocean? The ventricles. NMO lesions are all periventricular
Spine:
NMO is 3 letters, so lesions usually more than 3 vertebral bodies in length
MOGAD
Optic Nerve:
Remember MO’ GAD-olinium. So things that cause more regions of enhancement. MOGAD lesions are commonly bilateral & long segment & enhancement can extend perineural
Brain:
Remember LO’ GAD. MOGAD typically involves the lower areas of the brain
Spine:
Remember MO’ PLAID. MOGAD can give a plaid-like H shape in the cord from predominantly gray matter involvement
Hopefully, this cheat sheet will help you remember how to distinguish the demyelinating diseases! It ain’t lyin’ about diseases of myelin!

dry needling: MRI findings
Patient with pain in the long head of the biceps femoris muscle and a suspected fibrillar tear, for whom an MRI of the thigh was requested.
The MRI shows a patchy increase in signal in the distal third of the long head of the biceps associated with hyperintense linear paths, which correlate with the history of dry needling performed three days before the radiological study.
Dry needling is an invasive technique used in physiotherapy to eliminate muscle pain points (or trigger points), which can be generated due to overload.
It is imperative not to do this treatment during the five days before performing an MRI because it can make the diagnosis of muscle injury difficult or impossible, mainly grade I.
How many routes do you see in the video?

“Double beak sign” of closed loop obstruction.
Commonest cause of closed-loop obstruction is adhesions (this case also).
Volvulus and Internal hernia can also result in closed-loop obstruction and similar morphology.
When performing contrast-enhanced ultrasound using perfluorobutane to diagnose HCC, Kupffer phase images may be optional when recognizing features of non-HCC malignancy and incorporating transitional phase washout.https://t.co/bPxmbzbl36
