Role of diffusion-weighted MRI in Neuro-Behcet`s disease.
We report the findings on serial diffusion-weighted MRI in a 29-year-old male with neuro-Behcet`s disease. Initial T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images showed a hyperintense lesion in the brain stem. The lesion showed slight hyperintensity on diffusion-weighted images with no evidence of diffusion restriction on apparent diffusion coefficient maps. A follow up study after ...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted MRI findings in patients with capsular warning syndrome.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The 'capsular warning syndrome' (CWS) of recurrent stereotyped episodes of motor or sensory dysfunction is clinically well recognized, and is associated with a high risk of imminent lacunar infarction with permanent deficits resembling those of CWS. However, the pathophysiology of CWS has not been well characterized. We report a clinicoanatomic correlation with MR imaging...
متن کاملThoracic Splenosis after a Gunshot: Diffusion-Weighted MRI Findings
BACKGROUND Intrathoracic splenosis is a rare condition resulting from concomitant rupture of the spleen and left hemidiaphragm after a traumatic event involving the spleen and the diaphragma and is defined as autotransplantation of splenic tissue in thorax. CASE REPORT The aim of this study was to present a case report of a combined intrathoracic and subcutaneous splenosis in a patient 19 yea...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted MRI findings of treated and untreated retroperitoneal fibrosis.
PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) findings in patients with treated and untreated retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF). METHODS We analyzed magnetic resonance imaging examinations of 44 RPF patients (36 male, 8 female), of which 15 were untreated and 29 were under therapy. Qualitative DWI and T1 postcontrast signal intensities and the largest perivascular extent of RPF w...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted MRI in Crohn's disease: Current status and recommendations.
Over the past years, technological improvements and refinements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) hardware have made high-quality diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) routinely possible for the bowel. DWI is promising for the detection and characterization of lesions in Crohn's disease (CD) and has been advocated as an alternative to intravenous gadolinium-based contrast agents. Furthermore, quan...
