Diffusion-weighted imaging changes caused by acute hypoglycemia and prolonged febrile convulsion in childhood.
We read with interest the article by Jokhura et al on diffusion-weighted imaging in acute hypoglycemia in adults. Although there is now an increasing amount of literature on the MR imaging changes and outcome in adults with hypoglycemia, there is a paucity of literature that details imaging abnormality with acute hypoglycemia in childhood beyond the neonatal period. We describe the early progre...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted imaging of hyperacute cerebral hypoglycemia.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral hypoglycemia can result in reversible metabolic brain insults and can be associated with impaired diffusion disturbances. Our aim was to evaluate possible changes in DWI of the human brain during hyperacute short-term severe hypoglycemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten individuals scheduled for a clinical IST were examined with DWI while the test was performed. Veno...
متن کاملProlonged Febrile Syndrome Caused by Retroperitoneal Fibrosis
Because of its multiple causes, prolonged febrile syndrome often represents a real challenge. Clinical experience divides the causes of this syndrome into: infections (30-40%), neoplasia (10-30%), autoimmune diseases (9-15%), various other causes (15-20%), while 7-10% are of unknown origin. Th e case we report belongs to other causes group and stands out because it is a new entity among the cau...
متن کاملdiffusion weighted imaging in acute attacks of multiple sclerosis
conclusion these data indicate that while ce-mri will depict more positive results, there are cases in which dwi will show a positive result while ce-mri is negative. we suggest that the combination of these two imaging modalities might yield more positive results in diagnosing acute ms attack giving rise to a more accurate diagnosis. results ce-mri yielded positive results for 61 (87%) patient...
متن کاملHippocampal abnormalities after prolonged febrile convulsion: a longitudinal MRI study.
Mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) is the most common lesion in patients who require epilepsy surgery, and approximately 50% of patients with MTS have a history of prolonged febrile convulsion (PFC) in childhood. The latter led to the hypothesis that convulsive status epilepticus, including PFC, can cause MTS. Our recently published data on children investigated within 5 days of a PFC showed that ...
