Hypoglycemic white matter lesion along the pyramidal tracts.
A 73-year-old diabetic man treated with oral hypoglycemic agents presented with dysarthia. He was alert and could obey simple verbal and written commands. His dysarthria was too severe to understand. Muscle tone of his legs was increased. Deep tendon reflexes were generally decreased without pathological reflex or clonus. The blood glucose level was 44 mg/dL. Diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI)...
متن کاملCranial MR in Wilson disease: abnormal white matter in extrapyramidal and pyramidal tracts.
PURPOSE To describe abnormal white matter in the brain on MR in Wilson disease and to compare with anatomic location of white matter tracts. METHODS Forty-six patients with Wilson disease were examined. Axial T1-weighted inversion-recovery, axial T2-weighted spin-echo, and coronal T2*-weighted gradient-echo MR images were performed. Imaging studies were compared with clinical data. RESULTS ...
متن کاملExtensive white matter injury in hypoglycemic coma.
A 77-year-old woman with a history of diabetes presented with progressive mental deterioration to coma over 2 days. On admission, vital signs were normal and blood tests were only significant for glucose level of 14 mg/dL. MRI examination revealed extensive white matter abnormalities shown as high signals on diffusionweighted imaging and low signals on apparent diffusion coefficient maps, spari...
متن کاملAutomated Detection of White Matter Fiber Tracts
White matter (WM) fiber bundles of the brain can be delineated by diffusion tractography utilizing anatomical regions-of-interest (ROI). These ROIs can specify seed regions in which tract generation algorithms are initiated. Interactive identification of such anatomical ROIs enables the detection of the major WM fiber tracts, but suffers from inter-rater and intra-rater variability, and is time...
متن کاملDecreased and Increased Anisotropy along Major Cerebral White Matter Tracts in Preterm Children and Adolescents
Premature birth is highly prevalent and associated with neurodevelopmental delays and disorders. Adverse outcomes, particularly in children born before 32 weeks of gestation, have been attributed in large part to white matter injuries, often found in periventricular regions using conventional imaging. To date, tractography studies of white matter pathways in children and adolescents born preter...
