Acute Necrotizing Encephalopathy in Korean Infants and Children: Imaging Findings and Diverse Clinical Outcome
OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study was to describe acute necrotizing encephalopathy in Korean infants and children, and we sought to evaluate the prognostic factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Acute necrotizing encephalopathy was diagnosed in 14 Korean infants and children. We retrospectively analyzed the neuroimaging findings including the follow-up changes. The clinical course of the disease was...
متن کاملAcute Necrotizing Encephalopathy: Diffusion MR Imaging and Localized Proton MR Spectroscopic Findings in Two Infants
In this report, we describe the findings of diffusion MR imaging and proton MR spectroscopy in two infants with acute necrotizing encephalopathy in which there was characteristic symmetrical involvement of the thalami. Diffusion MR images of the lesions showed that the observed apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) decrease was more prominent in the first patient, who had more severe brain damag...
متن کاملAcute necrotizing encephalopathy of childhood: correlation of MR findings and clinical outcome.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The clinical outcome of acute necrotizing encephalopathy of childhood (ANEC), an encephalopathy characterized by symmetrical involvement of the thalami, has historically been poor, but recent studies have reported better outcomes. By devising a MR imaging scoring system, we determined the relationship between characteristic MR findings and clinical outcome of patients wit...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted MR imaging findings of acute necrotizing encephalopathy.
Multiple, symmetrical brain lesions affecting the bilateral thalami and cerebral white matter, which often show a concentric structure on CT and MR images, characterize acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) of childhood. We describe the imaging findings of a 2-year-old child with ANE obtained with diffusion-weighted MR imaging. We discuss the significance of these findings, as well as the path...
متن کاملAcute encephalopathy with bilateral thalamotegmental involvement in infants and children: imaging and pathology findings.
PURPOSE To investigate the imaging and pathologic characteristics of acute encephalopathy with bilateral thalamotegmental involvement in infants and children. METHODS Five Japanese children ranging in age from 11 to 29 months were studied. We performed CT imaging in all patients, 10 MR examinations in four patients, and an autopsy in one patient. RESULTS The encephalopathy affected the thal...
