Proton MR spectroscopy in Coats disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a case of acute left-sided visual loss in a 4-year-old boy. CT showed hyperdense retinal detachment with a tiny calcification, and MR imaging showed subretinal hyperintensity on both T1- and T2-weighted images. Proton MR spectroscopy showed a large peak between 1 and 1.6 ppm that we believe corresponds mainly to lipids, which are characteristic of the exudate present in Coats disease.

Proton MR spectroscopy in Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease.
Proton MR spectroscopic findings in two patients with genetically defined Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease revealed ratios of N-acetylaspartate/creatine and choline-containing compounds/creatine that were not significantly different from those found in a population of healthy subjects. These findings suggest that proton MR spectroscopy can aid in the diagnosis of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease.
متن کاملClinical applications of proton MR spectroscopy.
Magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy has received little attention from the clinical radiology community. Indeed, most MR spectroscopic studies are performed by a small and dedicated group of individuals, mostly basic scientists. This behavior is partly because MR spectroscopy does not produce “pictures” but results in “graphs,” and until lately, it could only be obtained with dedicated units a...
متن کاملClinical proton MR spectroscopy of neurodegenerative disease in childhood.
PURPOSE To determine the contribution of MR spectroscopy in the assessment of childhood neurodegenerative disease. METHODS Fifty-one subjects (7 weeks to 17 years of age), 22 with either hereditary (n = 16) or acquired (n = 6) neurodegenerative disorders and 29 age-matched control subjects, were studied with combined proton MR spectroscopy and MR imaging. Single-voxel (2.0-8.0 cc) MR spectra ...
متن کاملEvaluation of automated MR spectroscopy: application in Alzheimer disease.
In a trial involving 21 patients with dementia and 3 healthy control subjects, a comparison between the major cerebral metabolite ratios obtained with an established manually optimized proton MR spectroscopic examination and those obtained with an automated proton MR spectroscopic procedure shows that the two techniques provide very comparable results.
متن کاملProton MR spectroscopy and neuropsychological testing in adrenoleukodystrophy.
PURPOSE To determine early signs of disease in patients with childhood-onset cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (COCALD) with the use of proton MR spectroscopy. METHODS Eleven children with posterior COCALD involvement and three children with anterior COCALD involvement were studied with single-voxel proton MR spectroscopy and neuropsychological testing. Findings were compared with those in five h...
