HIDEInteractive Transcript
0:01
Hi, my name is Asim Choudhri
0:03
and I'm a pediatric neuroradiologist.
0:05
In this module,
0:06
we're going to review cases
0:07
of neurocutaneous syndromes or phakomatoses.
0:10
In particular, we're going to review cases of
0:13
neurofibromatosis type 2,
0:14
Sturge-Weber Syndrome,
0:16
Von Hippel Lindau,
0:18
as well as several cases of
0:20
more rare neurocutaneous syndromes.
0:22
Now, some of these entities
0:26
are rare in the general population
0:28
but these patients have very frequent contact
0:32
with the health care system.
0:34
They get often frequent imaging follow up.
0:37
And therefore, even though the entity itself may be rare,
0:40
the likelihood of encountering follow up studies
0:43
on some of these patients in your practice
0:45
is larger than their the disease incidents would suggest.
