Crossed cerebellar diaschisis: insights into oxygen challenge MRI.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hyperoxia during T2*-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (oxygen challenge imaging (OCI)) causes T2*-weighted signal change that is dependent on cerebral blood volume (CBV) and oxygen extraction fraction (OEF). Crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD), where CBV is reduced but OEF is maintained, may be used to understand the relative contributions of OEF and CBV to OCI results. In subjects with large hemispheric strokes, OCI showed reduced signal change in the contralesional cerebellum (P=0.027, n=12). This was associated with reduced CBV in contralesional cerebellum (P=0.039, n=9). CCD may be a useful model to determine the relative contribution of CBV to signal change measured by OCI.

Magnetic resonance imaging of crossed cerebellar diaschisis and bright pulvinar in status epilepticus.
Crossed cerebellar diaschisis and bright pulvinar are rare in patients with status epilepticus. We present a case of a 53-year-old man who was found confused, incontinent, and nonverbal. The EEG findings were consistent with non-convulsive status epilepticus. The brain MR images showed findings consistent with crossed cerebellar diaschisis and bright pulvinar. We report and discuss this case to...
متن کاملCrossed cerebellar diaschisis secondary to refractory frontal seizures in childhood
We report a girl with refractory partial seizures since 7 years of age, secondary to right frontal cortical dysplasia, who developed MRI and SPECT abnormalities in the contralateral hemicerebellar cortex. These became more marked, leading to left hemicerebellar atrophy. Crossed cerebellar diaschisis has been described mostly in hemispheric stroke and supratentorial tumours, but less often in ep...
متن کاملCrossed cerebellar diaschisis: occurrence and resolution demonstrated with PET during carotid temporary balloon occlusion.
Diaschisis is the depression of regional neuronal metabolism and cerebral blood flow (CBF) caused by dysfunction in an anatomically separate but functionally related neuronal region. It is most commonly recognized in association with stroke. Over 50% of patients with well-defined cerebral hemispheric lesions demonstrate crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) as diminished CBF, oxygen consumption (...
متن کاملHemodynamic and metabolic changes in crossed cerebellar hypoperfusion.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The pathophysiology of crossed cerebellar diaschisis remains to be elucidated. The mechanism responsible appears to be deafferentation through the corticopontocerebellar tract, which terminates in the cerebellar gray matter. However, few studies have demonstrated the hemodynamic and metabolic changes in the cerebellar gray matter and pons in crossed cerebellar diaschisis....
متن کاملTwo Cases of Crossed Cerebellar Diaschisis with or without Thalamic Lesion on Brain MRI in Status Epilepticus
We report two cases of status epilepticus who showed crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) with or without pulvinar high signal intensity (HSI) on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The first patient had CCD with pulvinar HSI on MRI and periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (PLEDs) on electroencephalography. MRI of the second patient revealed CCD without pulvinar HSI. And electroencep...
