This study of 10 patients with DPG showed characteristic thickening of the ventral hypothalamic midline and duplication of the infundibulum, as well as associated craniofacial dysraphism, oropharyngeal mass (ie, teratoma), and vascular and vertebral anomalies. The repetitive spectrum of ventral abnormalities involving the skull base, pituitary region, corpus callosum, tuber cinereum, brainstem, cerebral arteries, and cervical spine suggests axial mesoderm duplication.

This study investigated DTI parameter alterations in pre- and postshunt implantation in patients with iNPH and the relationship between DTI parameters and clinical improvement. Cognitive domain improvement after surgery correlated with preoperative DTI values of cingulate gyrus, uncinate fasciculus, superior longitudinal fasciculus, or corpus callosum, which are regions involved in memory and psychomotor speed processes.

Many patients with pure neuritic leprosy may have involvement of dorsal root ganglion, brachial plexus (thickening of trunks and cords), lumbar plexus, and spinal cord (intramedullary T2 hyperintensity). Patients may present with ganglionitis, plexitis, or myelitis.
