Cerebral cortical and white matter lesions in chronic hepatic encephalopathy: MR-pathologic correlations.
We correlated MR images with histologic findings in two autopsy-proven cases of chronic hepatic encephalopathy. Cortical hyperintensities on T2-weighted images histologically revealed pseudolaminar spongy degeneration in the deep layers of the cerebral cortices and hyperintensities in the cerebral white matters showed tissue rarefaction associated with loss of myelin and axons but without react...
متن کاملWhite matter lesions in panencephalopathic type of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease: MR imaging and pathologic correlations.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A panencephalopathic type of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (pCJD) is characterized by the extensive involvement of the cerebral white matter as well as the cerebral gray matter. It has been a point of controversy, however, whether the white matter changes represent primary or secondary degeneration. The aim of this study was to elucidate, by using MR images and histologic exa...
متن کاملBrain MR: pathologic correlation with gross and histopathology. 2. Hyperintense white-matter foci in the elderly.
MR was performed on 23 formalin-fixed brain specimens of patients 60 years old or older at the time of death. In two of these subjects MR had also been performed in vivo prior to death. Fifteen hyperintense white-matter foci were found on long TR MR images in seven brains. These lesions were correlated with gross and microscopic pathology. Six lesions were infarctions, two were small foci of gl...
متن کاملWhite matter volume changes in people who develop psychosis.
BACKGROUND Grey matter changes have been described in individuals who are pre- and peri-psychotic, but it is unclear if these changes are accompanied by changes in white matter structures. AIMS To determine whether changes in white matter occur prior to and with the transition to psychosis in individuals who are pre-psychotic who had previously demonstrated grey matter reductions in frontotem...
متن کاملHeavily T2-weighted MR imaging of white matter tracts in the hypothalamus: normal and pathologic demonstrations.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The MR appearance of white matter tracts in the hypothalamus and the role of the hypothalamus as a memory mechanism have not been sufficiently described in clinical settings. Heavily T2-weighted black-and-white reversed (T2R) images were assessed to reveal their visualization and clinical significance. METHODS One hundred healthy subjects and three patients with hypotha...
