Heroin-induced spongiform leukoencephalopathy: value of diffusion MR imaging.
The diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings of a patient with subacute stage of heroin-induced vacuolating myelinopathy are reported. The diffuse decrease of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of the white matter on DW imaging is attributed to restricted water diffusion, which is known to be caused by fluid entrapment within the myelin lamellae without demyelination.
متن کاملMR imaging of leukoencephalopathy associated with Navajo neuropathy.
Navajo neuropathy is a hereditary sensorimotor disease that occurs in members of the Navajo Indian tribe. It appears to be recessively inherited and becomes clinically evident in early childhood. Although initially described as a peripheral neuropathy with predominant involvement of myelinated axens [1] , we have encountered two patients with CNS abnormalities on MR imaging, indicating that thi...
متن کاملLeukoencephalopathy in cerebral amyloid angiopathy: MR imaging in four cases.
We report four cases of biopsy proved cerebral amyloid angiopathy demonstrated by MR imaging. White matter signal hyperintensities on T2-weighted spin-echo pulse sequences were present in three patients. We believe the white matter lesions associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy are not specific to this disorder but rather reflect hypoperfusion of distal white matter resulting from vascular...
متن کاملMR imaging and proton MR spectroscopic studies in Sjögren-Larsson syndrome: characterization of the leukoencephalopathy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) is a neurocutaneous syndrome caused by a genetic enzyme deficiency in lipid metabolism. Our purpose was to characterize the nature of the cerebral involvement in SLS. METHODS MR imaging was performed in 18 patients (aged 5 months to 45 years) and repeated in 14. Single-voxel proton MR spectra were acquired from cerebral white matter and gr...
متن کاملMarchiafava-Bignami disease: longitudinal MR imaging and MR spectroscopy study.
A case of Marchiafava-Bignami disease was serially evaluated with MR imaging and MR spectroscopy at 1, 2, 4, and 11 months after the onset of symptoms. The first MR imaging study showed extensive abnormal signal intensity of the corpus callosum without macroscopic changes; a diagnosis of Marchiafava-Bignami disease was made, and vitamin therapy was initiated. Follow-up studies showed progressiv...
