[Neuroimaging Characteristics of Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) in Korean Based on Jeju Cohort: A Pictorial Essay]. / ì œì£¼ 코호트를 바탕으로 한 한국인 CADASIL 환자의 ì‹ ê²½ì˜ìƒ 특징: 임상화보.

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a hereditary small artery vasculopathy caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene on chromosome 19. Jeju Island has the highest reported prevalence of CADASIL patients in the world. Even though most studies on the neuroimaging characteristics of CADASIL have focused on Western populations, there are notable differences in Korean CADASIL patients compared to those in Western countries, which may impact their clinical manifestations and prognosis. Herein, this pictorial essay presents the neuroimaging patterns of CADASIL in patients in Korea, with an emphasis on the differences observed from previous reports based on a Western patient population.

Reversible Ortner's Syndrome as a Presenting Feature of Thyrotoxicosis in an Adolescent: A Rare Case Report.

Ortner's or cardiovocal syndrome is hoarseness attributable to left recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy associated with mechanical compression of the nerve by pathologically enlarged cardiovascular structures. Ortner's syndrome is a rare condition, and to our knowledge, only a few cases have been reported in Korea. Furthermore, this condition is extremely uncommon in pediatric patients with thyrotoxicosis-related RLN paralysis. We report a case of reversible Ortner's syndrome in an adolescent who presented with secondary pulmonary hypertension related to thyrotoxicosis.
