Hyperintense Optic Nerve due to Diffusion Restriction: Diffusion-Weighted Imaging in Traumatic Optic Neuropathy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Abnormal signal intensity of the optic nerve due to diffusion restriction may be seen in traumatic optic neuropathy. In addition to evaluating optic nerve hyperintensity on diffusion-weighted imaging, we compared the group differences of ADC values between the injured and uninjured contralateral nerve and identified the relation between measured ADC values and admission v...
متن کاملHyperintense optic nerve heads on diffusion-weighted imaging: a potential imaging sign of papilledema.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Changes at the optic nerve head on DWI in the presence of papilledema have not been systematically studied. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if hyperintensity of ON heads on DWI is associated with papilledema. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, 19 patients (4 men, 15 women; median age, 32 years) with papilledema and 20 control participants (7 me...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted imaging in posterior ischemic optic neuropathy.
Optic Neuropathy We read with interest the case report by Mathur et al in which they have described an acute ischemic event in the posterior part of the intraorbital optic nerve consequent to rhinocerebral mucormycosis and its early detection by diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DW-MR imaging). In this regard, we would like to report another similar case that we came across in our tertiary care in...
متن کاملOptic nerve diffusion measurement from diffusion-weighted imaging in optic neuritis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Increases in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) from diffusion-weighted (DW) imaging are thought to be due to axonal disruption, and changes have been well documented in multiple sclerosis lesions. DW imaging of the optic nerves, however, presents many challenges. The goal of this study was to measure ADC in patients with optic neuritis by using zonal oblique multisecti...
متن کاملDiffusion tensor imaging of the optic nerve in subacute anterior ischemic optic neuropathy at 3T.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE DTI can provide in vivo information about the pathology of optic nerve disease, but there is no study of DTI in the setting of ION, the most frequent acute optic neuropathies in patients over 50 years of age. Our aim was to investigate the potential of DTI in the diagnosis of subacute AION at 3T. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-six patients with unilateral AION and 15 heal...
