چکیده

The authors present a case of probable amphetamine-induced cerebral arteritis in a 31-year-old man with AIDS, testicular carcinoma, and recurrent pneumocystis pneumonia. MR enhancement was demonstrated in areas of focal arterial ectasia, presumably due to slow flow. CT, MR, and angiographic findings were strikingly confirmed postmortem. Angiography remains essential in the diagnosis of cerebral arteritis.

Histologic abnormalities associated with gadolinium enhancement on MR in the initial hours of experimental cerebral infarction.

PURPOSE To determine the histologic changes associated with gadopentetate dimeglumine enhancement on MR images in acute focal cerebral ischemia. METHODS In each of two baboons, a microcatheter was used to occlude partially the middle cerebral artery and reduce cerebral blood flow for approximately 3.5 hours. The catheter was then removed allowing reperfusion for approximately 3.5 hours. In tw...

Evaluation of takayasu arteritis with delayed contrast-enhanced MR imaging by a free-breathing 3D IR turbo FLASH

The primary aim of our case-control study was to observe delayed contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in patients with Takayasu arteritis (TA) in comparison with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Twenty-seven patients including 15 with active TA and 12 with stable TA who underwent both aortic MRA and DCE-MRI were included. A total of 27 sex- and age-matched healthy volunte...

MR 'hot nose sign' and 'intravascular enhancement sign' in brain death.

Three cases of MR with gadopentetate dimeglumine in patients diagnosed with cerebral death are presented. Observation of an MR "hot nose sign" and an "intravascular enhancement sign" provided additional imaging support in the clinical diagnosis of brain death. The MR findings in brain death include: 1) transtentorial and foramen magnum herniation, 2) absent intracranial vascular flow void, 3) p...

Pericallosal artery ectasia with associated stenosis.

We report a rare case of bilateral pericallosal artery ectasia with stenosis in a 49-year-old man complaining of frontal headache. CT showed a serpiginous calcified interhemispheric fissure lesion with contrast enhancement. Imaging of this lesion was pursued with MR and MR angiography; however, conventional cerebral angiography was needed to make a definitive diagnosis.

Quantification of blood-brain-barrier permeability dysregulation and inflammatory activity in MS lesions by dynamic-contrast enhanced MR imaging

Objective: Measurement of blood-brain permeability dysfunction in active and chronic MS lesions with T1-weighted dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI to show variation in inflammatory activity Background: blood-brain-barrier perfusion characterization impaired in MS as some studies have shown recently buta comparison between perfusion parameters in contrast-enhanced and non-enhanced lesions not have ...
