Background: A demyelinating lesion can present as a space occupying in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain. Lesions that have diameter greater than 2 cm is referred tumefactive lesion. These lesions mimic brain tumor, namely glioma or primary central nervous system lymphoma. Case presentation: We two female patients over 30 years old who presented with limb weakness. Their MRI demonstrated t...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To use MR spectroscopy to aid in the diagnosis of demyelinating disease and to help differentiate tumefactive demyelinating lesions from neoplastic processes. MATERIALS AND METHODS MR imaging of the brain was obtained in 4 patients who presented clinically with focal neurologic deficits. MR imaging initially revealed parenchymal mass lesions. Single-voxel MR spectroscop...

Case presentation: A one-month-old male presented with fever, flu-like symptoms, decreased level of consciousness and seizures. He tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis revealed pleocitosis elevated protein, the viral panel herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 2, human herpesvirus (HHV) type 6, cytomegalovirus (CMV), Influenza A, B, Parechovirus e Enterovirus COVID ne...
