Leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and high brain lactate: report of three Brazilian patients.
A novel leukoencephalopathy was recently identified based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS) findings. Leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and high lactate (LBSL) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by early onset of symptoms and slowly progressive cerebellar, pyramidal and spinal cord dorsal column d...
متن کاملLeucoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and high lactate: quantitative magnetic resonance imaging.
Leucoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and elevated lactate is a white matter disorder caused by DARS2 mutations. The pathology is unknown. We observed striking discrepancies between improvement on longitudinal conventional magnetic resonance images and clinical deterioration and between large areas of high signal on diffusion-weighted imaging and small areas with low ap...
متن کاملA new leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and high lactate.
We identified eight patients with a distinct magnetic resonance imaging pattern of inhomogeneous cerebral white matter abnormalities and selective involvement of brainstem and spinal tracts. Proton magnetic resonance imaging showed increased lactate in the abnormal white matter. Clinically, the patients had slowly progressive pyramidal, cerebellar, and dorsal column dysfunction. The uniform, hi...
متن کاملSevere tick borne encephalitis with simultaneous brain stem, bithalamic, and spinal cord involvement documented by MRI.
A case of tick borne encephalitis (TBE) is reported, with simultaneous brain stem, spinal cord, and bilateral thalamic involvement confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). After exposure to a TBE endemic region, the patient developed a biphasic clinical course with initial flu-like symptoms followed by a severe brain stem syndrome. The diagnosis of TBE was confirmed serologically. Repeate...
متن کاملLymphomatosis cerebri with intramedullary spinal cord involvement.
Lymphomatosis cerebri (LC) is a rare form of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). Little is known about cases of LC with spinal cord involvement. Among the 11 PCNSL patients treated in our hospital during a four-year period, we identified two cases of LC with spinal cord lesions. One showed a spinal cord lesion followed by leukoencephalopathy. The other showed a spinal cord lesion a...
