ABSTRACT
This chapter provides that the themed presentation encourages quick, focused study and detailed answers aid comprehension and encourages familiarity with miscellaneous with essential diagrams, colour images and sample MRIs. Cervical spondylosis is a degenerative osteoarthritis of the cervical spine, frequently presenting with occipital headaches that are exacerbated by movement of the neck. These often radiate to the temporal region. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a prion disease that causes a rapidly progressive (weeks to months) dementia and early death. It can be acquired through ingestion of beef from cattle affected by mad cow disease. The beta-pleated form resists degradation by proteases and its accumulation results in a spongiform encephalopathy. Multiple cysts with an absence of inflammatory cells on biopsy are characteristic.
