Commentary: Tumefactive Demyelinating Lesions as a First Clinical Event: Clinical, Imaging, and Follow-up Observations
BACKGROUND Tumefactive demyelinating lesions (TDLs) are associated with a variety of demyelinating diseases in the central nervous system (CNS). However, there are no current guidelines describing how to classify and treat patients with this rare phenotype. Thus, the present study aimed to determine the long-term evolution and disease course of patients initially presenting with TDLs and to des...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Imaging Characteristics of Tumefactive Demyelinating Lesions
Tumefactive demyelinating lesions (TDLs) are often misdiagnosed as brain tumors. To identify imaging characteristics of TDLs for their proper diagnosis, their differences from malignant gliomas, etc., were investigated based on 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MR spectroscopy data that was obtained from 5 patients diagnosed with TDLs in our hospital. MRI displayed a paraventricular ...
متن کاملProton MR spectroscopy of tumefactive demyelinating lesions.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Tumefactive demyelinating lesions (TDLs) can simulate intracranial neoplasms in clinical presentation and MR imaging appearance, and surgical biopsy is often performed in suspected tumors. Proton MR spectroscopy has been applied in assessing various intracranial diseases and is increasingly used in diagnosis and clinical management. Our purpose was to determine if multivo...
متن کاملCase Series: tumefactive demyelinating lesions: a diagnostic challenge.
T umefactive demyelinating lesion (TDL) is defined as a solitary de myelin ating lesion greater than 2 cm. Mass effect and contrast enhancement on neuroimaging make it difficult to distinguish this type of lesion from high-grade gliomas. Multiple sclerosis (MS) accounts for most cases of TDL. Even in patients with established MS, an atypical manifestation of a large lesion can suggest concurren...
متن کاملTumefactive demyelinating lesions: spectrum of disease, diagnosis and treatment
Whenever MRI imaging depicts typical small, ovoid, well-circumscribed T2 hyperintense lesions scattered across periventricular, iuxtacortical and infratentorial white matter along with a clinical scenario highly suggestive of inflammatory-demyelinating disease of CNS (CNS IID), multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis is straightforward. Nevertheless, the expanding role of MRI in MS evaluation is para...
