Restricted diffusion on MR imaging of an acute cerebral lesion.
A 35-year-old woman with no previous medical history presented with a 3-day history of progressive left hemisensory loss, ataxia and hemiparesis. On neurological examination she had Medical Research Council (MRC) grade 4 pyramidal weakness, hyper-reflexia and mild incoordination on the left side. Sensory examination revealed decreased light touch, pain, temperature, vibration sense and proprioc...
متن کاملPancreatic cystic lymphangioma: diagnostic approach with MDCT and MR imaging.
Lymphangiomas are rare congenital benign tumors arising from the lymphatic system mostly encountered in the neck and axillary regions of pediatric patients. Pancreatic cystic lymphangiomas very rarely occur in adults. Radiologically, the lesion may mimic pancreatic carcinoma and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any patient found to have an abdominal cystic mass. In this art...
متن کاملMR imaging of pelvic extraperitoneal masses: A diagnostic approach.
Pelvic extraperitoneal pelvic masses are relatively uncommon conditions and generally raise diagnostic imaging challenges. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging plays a central role in the diagnosis of these masses due to its unique tissue-specific multiplanar capabilities that allow optimal pelvic mass localization and internal characterization. This article reviews the MR imaging presentation of ex...
متن کاملComposite hindered and restricted model of diffusion (CHARMED) MR imaging of the human brain.
High b value diffusion-weighted images sampled at high angular resolution were analyzed using a composite hindered and restricted model of diffusion (CHARMED). Measurements and simulations of diffusion in white matter using CHARMED provide an unbiased estimate of fiber orientation with consistently smaller angular uncertainty than when calculated using a DTI model or with a dual tensor model fo...
متن کاملSubacute sclerosing panencephalitis findings at MR imaging, diffusion MR imaging, and proton MR spectroscopy.
A case of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis in a 2-year-old boy is reported. In addition to asymmetric lesions in the parietotemporal lobes, right thalamus, and globus pallidus, symmetric patterns were notable in the brain stem, middle cerebellar pedincles, and dentate nuclei. Proton MR spectroscopy revealed markedly decreased N-acetylaspartate peaks and normal choline and myo-inositol levels...
