Neuromedicinsk afdeling N, Odense Universitetshospital.

A 19 year old righthanded woman, without previous neurological symptoms, was examined in April 1993, because of involuntary movements affecting especially the right hand, but also her right leg and the right side of her face. Magnetic Resonance Imagning (MRI), showed a process located in the area of the left subthalamic nucleus, which was recognized as a cavernous haemangioma. A left carotic arteriography in August was normal. The patient had a complete regression of her symptoms, wherefore there was no indication for neurosurgical intervention. The patient is still being followed without treatment.

D008279	Magnetic Resonance Imaging	Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.
