Bilateral wallerian degeneration of the middle cerebellar peduncles due to unilateral pontine infarction.
We report the case of a patient with bilateral and symmetrical T2 hyperintensities of the middle cerebellar peduncles. She had a history of left pontine infarction 8 months before. This was attributed to bilateral Wallerian degeneration. MR Spectroscopy showed decreased N-acetyl aspartate/Creatine (NAA/Cr) ratio in the cerebellar peduncles as well as in the whole cerebellum. We hypothesize that...
متن کاملRestricted diffusion in Wallerian degeneration of the middle cerebellar peduncles following pontine infarction
BACKGROUND Acute Wallerian degeneration following infarction has been show to result in areas of restricted diffusion within the brain. Very few reports describe this appearance in middle cerebellar peduncles. CASE REPORT A 37 year old woman was admitted to hospital following sudden collapse and was subsequently found to have a pontine infarct. The complex clinical course resulted in MR imagi...
متن کاملClinical and Radiological Features of Wallerian Degeneration of the Middle Cerebellar Peduncles Secondary to Pontine Infarction
Background Wallerian degeneration (WD) of bilateral middle cerebellar peduncles (MCPs) can occur following pontine infarction, but its characteristics have not yet been clarified because of the low incidence. Thus, the present study discussed the clinical and radiological features to improve the awareness of this disease. Methods Clinical and radiological information from consecutive individu...

palatal myoclonus, tongue fasciculation and ataxic gait. MRI of the brain showed increased T2 and Fluid Attenuation Inversion recovery (FLAIR) signal intensities in the bilateral inferior olivary complex without diffusion restriction (figure 1). Midbrain, pons, and cerebral and cerebellar parenchyma were normal (figure 2). Imaging features were consistent with bilateral hypertrophic olivary deg...
متن کاملBilateral Hypertrophic Olivary Degeneration in Wilson Disease
Hypertrophic olivary degeneration resulting from lesions of the dento-rubro-olivary pathway, also called Guillain-Mollaret-triangle, has been described previously in a number of cases. Reports about bilateral hypertrophic olivary degeneration of the inferior olivary nuclei are very limited, and the magnetic resonance imaging findings of hypertrophic olivary degeneration in Wilson disease have n...
