Are Periventricular Lesions Specific for Multiple Sclerosis?
BACKGROUND The presence of periventricular lesions (PVL) on MRI scans is part of the revised McDonald multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnostic criteria. However, PVL can be found in other neurological diseases including stroke and migraine. Migraine is highly prevalent in patients with MS. OBJECTIVE To determine if PVL are specific for patients with MS compared to stroke and migraine. METHODS We ...
متن کاملPeriventricular lesions correlate with cortical thinning in multiple sclerosis.
OBJECTIVE It has been suggested recently that cortical pathology in multiple sclerosis (MS) may, at least partly, be caused by factors in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We thus hypothesized that MS-related tissue changes in compartments close to the CSF, such as periventricular lesions, might correlate with cortical pathology. METHODS We investigated a cohort of 160 patients, comprising 91 with a...
متن کاملPeriventricular lesions in multiple sclerosis: their perivenous origin and relationship to granular ependymitis.
The periventricular region was studied in the brains of 129 cases of multiple sclerosis, with the purpose of establishing the mechanism and order of events in the development of the periventricular plaque, and deciding whether there is any relationship between granular ependymitis and such plaques. Periventricular plaques were found in 82.2% of cases. Observation and computerized morphology sho...
متن کاملPeriventricular Lesions Help Differentiate Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders from Multiple Sclerosis
Objective. To compare periventricular lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOsd). Materials and Methods. Sagittal and axial fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences of 20 NMOsd and 40 group frequency-matched MS patients were evaluated by two neuroradiologists. On axial FLAIR, periventricular area was characterized as free of lesions/smoot...
متن کاملHigh-signal periventricular lesions in patients with sarcoidosis: neurosarcoidosis or multiple sclerosis?
The vast majority of periventricular abnormalities visualized with MR imaging in patients less than 50 years old represents multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions. There are many other causes of periventricular lesions, most of which can be differentiated from MS on the basis of history and physical or MR findings. Five cases of biopsy- or Kveim test-proved sarcoidosis with MR findings consistent with...
