Dominant perivenular enhancement of tumefactive demyelinating lesions in multiple sclerosis.
A 51-year-old woman presented with aphasia and bifrontal MRI lesions with punctuate and vague linear enhancement (figure). She improved spontaneously but 4 months later deteriorated due to the large mass and required cranial decompression. Innumerable, perivenular enhancements perpendicular to the lateral ventricles were seen within extensive bihemispheric white matter lesions. Multiple scleros...
متن کاملAcute demyelinating lesions with restricted diffusion in multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES It is widely accepted that typical acute demyelinating lesions in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) exhibit vasogenic edema with increased diffusion, as demonstrated by an increased apparent diffusion coefficient on MRI. In contrast, acute ischemic lesions demonstrate cytotoxic edema with restricted diffusion. Recent reports have documented selected cases o...
متن کاملBrain microbiota disruption within inflammatory demyelinating lesions in multiple sclerosis
Microbial communities reside in healthy tissues but are often disrupted during disease. Bacterial genomes and proteins are detected in brains from humans, nonhuman primates, rodents and other species in the absence of neurological disease. We investigated the composition and abundance of microbiota in frozen and fixed autopsied brain samples from patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and age- a...
متن کاملPost-mortem MRI-guided sampling of multiple sclerosis brain lesions: increased yield of active demyelinating and (p)reactive lesions.
Macroscopic sampling of multiple sclerosis lesions in the brain tends to find chronic lesions. For a better understanding of the dynamics of the multiple sclerosis disease process, research into new and developing lesions is of great interest. As MRI in vivo effectively demonstrates lesions in multiple sclerosis patients, we have applied it to unfixed post-mortem brain slices to identify abnorm...
متن کاملOccurrence of oligodendrocytes within astrocytes in demyelinating lesions.
We investigated the fine structural details of the presence of apparently newly formed oligodendrocytes within reactive astrocytes in white matter lesions obtained by biopsy from seven cases (3 multiple sclerosis (MS); 3 progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML); 1 with nonspecific reactive changes next to a sarcoid granuloma). Intact oligodendrocytes were found within astrocytic cytopla...
