Acute demyelinating lesions with restricted diffusion in multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES It is widely accepted that typical acute demyelinating lesions in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) exhibit vasogenic edema with increased diffusion, as demonstrated by an increased apparent diffusion coefficient on MRI. In contrast, acute ischemic lesions demonstrate cytotoxic edema with restricted diffusion. Recent reports have documented selected cases o...
متن کاملDominant perivenular enhancement of tumefactive demyelinating lesions in multiple sclerosis.
A 51-year-old woman presented with aphasia and bifrontal MRI lesions with punctuate and vague linear enhancement (figure). She improved spontaneously but 4 months later deteriorated due to the large mass and required cranial decompression. Innumerable, perivenular enhancements perpendicular to the lateral ventricles were seen within extensive bihemispheric white matter lesions. Multiple scleros...
متن کاملBrain microbiota disruption within inflammatory demyelinating lesions in multiple sclerosis
Microbial communities reside in healthy tissues but are often disrupted during disease. Bacterial genomes and proteins are detected in brains from humans, nonhuman primates, rodents and other species in the absence of neurological disease. We investigated the composition and abundance of microbiota in frozen and fixed autopsied brain samples from patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and age- a...
متن کاملInvestigation of apparent diffusion coefficient and diffusion tensor anisotrophy in acute and chronic multiple sclerosis lesions.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The various stages of multiple sclerosis (MS) are characterized by de- and remyelination as well as by inflammation. Diffusion MR imaging is sensitive to tissue water motion, which might correspond to these pathologic processes. Our purpose was to demonstrate differences in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and diffusion tensor anisotropy in acute and chronic MS plaque...
متن کاملMitochondrial defects in acute multiple sclerosis lesions
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease, which leads to focal plaques of demyelination and tissue injury in the CNS. The structural and immunopathological patterns of demyelination suggest that different immune mechanisms may be involved in tissue damage. In a subtype of lesions, which are mainly found in patients with acute fulminant multiple sclerosis with Balo's type concentric ...
