Secondary signal change and an apparent diffusion coefficient decrease of the substantia nigra after striatal infarction.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffusion-weighted imaging can depict secondary signal change of the substantia nigra of patients with ipsilateral striatal infarction via a decrease in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). Clinical predictors of this phenomenon remain unclear. METHODS We assessed 98 stroke patients with acute ischemic lesions in the hemilateral basal ganglia, external capsule, or ...
متن کاملDegeneration of the Substantia Nigra Following Ipsilateral Striatal Infarction
A 74-year-old woman was admitted due to a 4-day history of disorientation. Although her symptoms showed improvement, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (Day 3) revealed a high-intensity lesion in the right basal ganglia in diffusion-weighted images and T2WI without any changes on magnetic resonance angiography (Picture 1), which supported a diagnosis of striatal infarction, presumably due t...
متن کاملStriatal Infarction Elicits Secondary Extrafocal MRI Changes in Ipsilateral Substantia Nigra
Focal ischemia may induce pathological alterations in brain areas distant from the primary lesion. In animal models, exofocal neuron death in the ipsilateral midbrain has been described after occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). Using sequential magnetic resonance imaging (T2- and diffusion-weighted) at 3 Tesla, we investigated acute ischemic stroke patients on days 1, 2, 6, 8, and 10...
متن کاملNeurite beading is sufficient to decrease the apparent diffusion coefficient after ischemic stroke.
Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) is a sensitive and reliable marker of cerebral ischemia. Within minutes of an ischemic event in the brain, the microscopic motion of water molecules measured with DWI, termed the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), decreases within the infarcted region. However, although the change is related to cell swelling, the precise pathological mechanism remains elusive. We...
متن کاملExploring the Possibility of Estimating Degree of Glioma Tumors by Measuring Apparent Diffusion Coefficient
Introduction: Most common glioma tumors are tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) which are the cause of about 40 to 50 percent of brain tumors. This type of cancer includes 2 to 3 percent of cancers in the world. Conventional MRI is powerless in the detection and differentiation of benign and malignant tumors. In this case, diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) can create cont...
