چکیده
A 31-year-old pregnant woman presented with headache, fever and left-sided focal motor seizures, which progressed to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures. Her medical history included Crohn's disease treated azathioprine adalimumab, were discontinued when she became pregnant. cerebro-spinal fluid was entirely normal viral PCR negative. Extensive testing for infectious, autoimmune or malignant causes of encephalitis non-revealing. MRI head showed unilateral cortical FLAIR-hyperintensity on interval scans seen bilaterally. Anti-myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-IgG positive leading a diagnosis FLAIR-hyperintense lesions in Anti-MOG-associated Encephalitis seizures (FLAMES).

An automated tool for detection of FLAIR-hyperintense white-matter lesions in Multiple Sclerosis
In Multiple Sclerosis (MS), detection of T2-hyperintense white matter (WM) lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a crucial criterion for diagnosis and predicting prognosis in early disease. Automated lesion detection is not only desirable with regard to time and cost effectiveness but also constitutes a prerequisite to minimize user bias. Here, we developed and evaluated an alg...

متن کاملHyperintense Vessels on FLAIR: Hemodynamic Correlates and Response to Thrombolysis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hyperintense vessels on baseline FLAIR MR imaging of patients with ischemic stroke have been linked to leptomeningeal collateralization, yet the ability of these to maintain viable ischemic tissue remains unclear. We investigated whether hyperintense vessels on FLAIR are associated with the severity of hypoperfusion and response to thrombolysis in patients treated with in...
