Dear colleagues<\/p>\n
Greetings and best wishes from IMA Chennai Kauvery Branch.<\/p>\n
With almost 4 crores of people of Tamilnadu getting vaccinated and 66% of the population at risk being administered two doses of vaccine and with the infection numbers coming down every day I think we are slowly moving out of the pandemic hopefully. After nearly two years of virtual meeting it\u2019s nice to have our academic meetings held physically and I request all our members to attend without fail.<\/p>\n
On behalf of our branch I welcome all the newly joined consultants to the Kauvery Family.<\/p>\n
Long live IMA<\/p>\n

It is primarily due to auto-antibody mediated inflammation against intracellular and Cell surface neuronal antigens. AE can mimic other neuropsychiatric conditions presenting a diagnostic challenge. Certain clinical syndromes of AE present with characteristic Imaging (MR) findings (involving limbic structures), hence it is vital to recognize the same and follow a proper diagnostic workup, since early immunotherapy improves patient outcome and good recovery.<\/p>\n Read Full Article<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”blog-col” css=”.vc_custom_1617009566389{border-radius: 5px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”3342″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Battle Of Two Drugs – Who Won?” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%239a286d” google_fonts=”font_family:PT%20Sans%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n Read Full Article<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”blog-col” css=”.vc_custom_1617009566389{border-radius: 5px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”3279″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Bilateral Spontaneous Internal Carotid Artery Dissection Managed With Endovascular Stenting \u2013 A Case Report” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%239a286d” google_fonts=”font_family:PT%20Sans%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Carotid artery dissection (CAD) is a frequent cause of stroke, accounting for upto 25% of all ischemic strokes in young and middle-aged patients1,<\/sup> 2<\/sup>.

Common risk factors include ageing, smoking, diabetes and hypertension. PAD can be asymptomatic and presents later as CLI (critical limb ischemia) with gangrene and rest pain. PAD now commonly exhibits a multilevel nature, extending both supra-inguinal and infra-inguinal. If untreated it can lead to amputation of extremity mortality. In this article, we present the case of a patient with non-healing ulcer and rest pain who responded to timely endovascular revascularization overcoming the challenges of intervention in a multilevel complex arterial lesion of extremity.

It is important to diagnose fat necrosis because it can often mimic carcinoma of the breast. Breast imagers should become familiar with the different manifestations of fat necrosis to avoid unnecessary biopsies.
