A brainstem plus sign in neuro-Behçet disease.
Picture 1. (A-F) Axial FLAIR brain MRI revealed multiple hyperintense lesions involving bilateral pontomedular junctions, right-sided midbrain, thalamus and gangliocapsular area. This finding of confluent brainstem lesions extending into unilateral thalamus and basal ganglia is so-caled “brainstem plus”sign. (G) Lesions were isointense on T1-weighted image. (H) T1-weighted axial MRI with gadoli...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging and Neuro-Behcet Disease.
Behcet disease is a rare multi-system immune related vasculitis which may involve the central nervous system, usually during the course of the illness. Magnetic resonance imaging is currently the modality of choice for the detection of the parenchymal lesions in their different phases, as well as the dural sinus venous thrombosis.
متن کاملRole of diffusion-weighted MRI in Neuro-Behcet`s disease.
We report the findings on serial diffusion-weighted MRI in a 29-year-old male with neuro-Behcet`s disease. Initial T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images showed a hyperintense lesion in the brain stem. The lesion showed slight hyperintensity on diffusion-weighted images with no evidence of diffusion restriction on apparent diffusion coefficient maps. A follow up study after ...
متن کامل[Behcet disease].
Central nervous system involvement in Behçet disease (BD) may be either parenchymal or nonparenchymal. Abnormal cerebrospinal fluid findings and parenchymal involvement are associated with a poorer prognosis. A self-antigenic role for HLA B51 has been postulated in the pathogenesis of BD. The sibling occurrence rate is 3.6%. Familial aggregation may be more pronounced among pediatric cases comp...
متن کاملNeurological Manifestations in Behcet Disease
Behçet disease is a multisystem disease of unknown cause in which an inflammatory perivasculitis can arise in almost any tissue (Sakane et al., 1999). Neurologic involvement in Behçet disease was first reported by Knapp in 1941. It represented between 4-49% of manifestations of BD (Haghighi et al., 2005). There is one of the most serious causes of long term morbidity and mortality in Behçet’s D...
