Diffusion weighted image (DWI) findings in methanol intoxication.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methanol is a toxic substance with extremely devastating effects upon exposure. The case described suffered from such kind of poisoning. MRI brain demonstrated necrosis bilaterally in the Putamen areas which is a classic hallmark finding. Additional Diffusion weighted imaging showed abnormal signal bilaterally in the putamen areas along with Diffusion positive bilateral lesions (possibly infarctions) in both the frontal and occipital lobes that were not evident on MRI with or without contrast.

Reversible Focal Splenial Lesion on Diffusion–Weighted MRI in Sulfonylurea Intoxication
Neurological findings of hypoglycemia vary from reversible focal deficits to permanent dysfunction or death [1–3]. According to MRI findings, the cerebral cortex, basal ganglion, hippocampus, internal capsule, splenium of corpus callosum (SCC), and cerebral white matter are the most commonly affected sites in hypoglycemic brain injury [2–4]. Hypoglycemic brain injury is usually reversible, and ...
متن کاملConventional and diffusion-weighted MRI in the evaluation of methanol poisoning.
Cerebral lesions were studied in 2 methanol-poisoned patients using conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In 1 patient, diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) was also performed. In this patient, conventional MRI showed symmetrical, bilateral increased signal in the lentiform nuclei, involving predominantly putamina, but also extending into the corona radiata, centrum semiovale and subcortical w...

Background: Salivary gland tumors form nearly 3% of head and neck tumors. Due to their large histological variety and vicinity to facial nerves, pre-operative diagnosis and differentiation of benign and malignant parotid tumors are a major challenge for radiologists. Objective: The majority of these tumors are benign; however, sometimes they tend to transform into a malignant form. Functional M...
