MRIs are useful in diagnosing organic causes of failure to thrive. Listing down each organic cause is beyond the scope of this microchapter.
MRI
- MRIs are useful in diagnosing organic causes of failure to thrive.
- Listing down each organic cause is beyond the scope of this microchapter.
- Some examples are:
- Subdural hematoma secondary to non accidental trauma
- A MRI in a patient who suffered non accidental trauma showing a subdural hematoma wrapping along the occipital over the tentorium cerebelli.
- Vein of Galen
- A 13 month old child with failure to thrive undergoes a MRI showing a large aneurysm of vein of Galen.
- The vein of Galen is fed by choroidal branches of right posterior cerebral artery and drains into the deep midline venous system. It causes an increase in intracranial pressure.
