Automated MRI Volumetric Analysis in Patients with Rasmussen Syndrome.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Rasmussen syndrome, also known as Rasmussen encephalitis, is typically associated with volume loss of the affected hemisphere of the brain. Our aim was to apply automated quantitative volumetric MR imaging analyses to patients diagnosed with Rasmussen encephalitis, to determine the predictive value of lobar volumetric measures and to assess regional atrophy differences as...
متن کاملLongitudinal study of MRS metabolites in Rasmussen encephalitis.
This study analyses the evolution of metabolite changes in an 8-year-old boy with focal Rasmussen encephalitis. Five MRI examinations, including magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) were performed over 9 months. Following complex partial status, T2-weighted imaging showed transient dramatic signal increase in the left superior temporal gyrus and mesial temporal structures. Subsequent scans sho...
متن کاملA population-based longitudinal volumetric MRI study in Epilepsy
R. S. Liu, L. Lemieux, G. S. Bell, S. M. Sisodiya, S. D. Shorvon, J. W. Sander, J. S. Duncan Institute of Neurology, London, London, United Kingdom Synopsis Whether cerebral damage results from epileptic seizures remains a contentious issue. We report on the first longitudinal community-based quantitative MRI study to investigate the effect of seizures on the hippocampus, cerebellum and neocort...
متن کاملNeuropathological spectrum of Rasmussen encephalitis.
BACKGROUND Rasmussen encephalitis (RE) is a chronic epileptic disorder of unknown etiology, and is clinically characterized by progressive neurological deterioration, focal seizures often progressing to intractable epilepsy, cognitive decline and hemispheric atrophy. AIMS We report the spectrum of neuropathological changes seen in RE, and discuss the evolutionary mechanisms of this disease. ...
متن کاملUpregulation of Adenosine Kinase in Rasmussen Encephalitis
Rasmussen encephalitis (RE) is a rare neurologic disorder of childhood characterized by unihemispheric inflammation, progressive neurologic deficits, and intractable focal epilepsy. The pathogenesis of RE is still enigmatic. Adenosine is a key endogenous signaling molecule with anticonvulsive and anti-inflammatory effects, and our previous work demonstrated that dysfunction of the adenosine kin...
