A 30-year-old male with diffuse white matter lesions.
A 30-year-old male presented with fever and cough with expectoration of 3-month duration. He was diagnosed to have pulmonary tuberculosis and antituberculous therapy was initiated. He developed progressive lower limb weakness over 1 month. He was detected to be HIV seropositive. At the time of admission to the hospital, he was dull, withdrawn, and had spastic paraparesis (Grade 4/5 power). Cere...
متن کاملPeriventricular cerebral white matter lesions predict rate of cognitive decline.
The prospect of declining cognitive functions is a major fear for many elderly persons. Cerebral white matter lesions, as commonly found with magnetic resonance imaging, have been associated with cognitive dysfunction in cross-sectional studies. Only a few longitudinal studies using small cohorts confirmed these findings. We examined the relation between severity of white matter lesions and cog...
متن کاملproton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and cognitive impairment in patients with ischemic white matter lesions
background: the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the cognitive impairment and naa/cr and cho/cr ratios in the proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1hmrs), and to assess the importance of 1hmrs in the early diagnosis of cognitive impairment in patients with ischemic white matter lesions (wmls). materials and methods: a total of 45 patients (23males and 22 femal...
متن کاملImaging of white matter lesions.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is very sensitive for the detection of white matter lesions (WML), which occur even in normal ageing. Intrinsic WML should be separated from physiological changes in the ageing brain, such as periventricular caps and bands, and from dilated Virchow-Robin spaces. Genuine WML are best seen with T2-weighted sequences such as long TR dual-echo spin-echo or FLAIR (fl...
متن کاملAn 11-year-old boy showing rapid psychomotor regression and diffuse cerebral white matter lesions.
A male patient was born at term to healthy parents with normal delivery after an uneventful pregnancy. There was no family history of neuromuscular disorders. His development was normal in early infancy: he showed social smiling at 5 months of age,recognition of his mother at 6 months and head control at 7 months. However, he could neither roll over nor utter meaningful words. He developed mild...
