Isolated Brainstem Involvement in a Patient with Hypertensive Encephalopathy
Hypertensive encephalopathy typically presents with headache, confusion, and bilateral parietooccipital vasogenic edema. Brainstem edema in hypertensive encephalopathy usually occurs in association with typical supratentorial parieto-occipital changes and is usually asymptomatic. We report here a patient with hypertensive encephalopathy, with isolated brain stem involvement on magnetic resonanc...
متن کاملHypertensive Encephalopathy with Reversible Brainstem Edema
Presented here is a 36-year-old male with arterial hypertension who developed brainstem edema and intracranial hemorrhage. Magnetic resonance scan revealed diffuse brainstem hyperintensity in T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery images, with an increase in apparent diffusion coefficient values. After a reduction in blood pressure, rapid resolution of the brainstem edema was obser...
متن کاملProbable Isolated Hypertensive Brainstem Encephalopathy Combined with Intracerebral Hemorrhage: a Case Report
Hypertensive encephalopathy is an acute neurological syndrome caused by a sudden increase of systemic blood pressure (1, 2). The imaging abnormalities are predominant in the parieto-occipital subcortical white matter. The clinical and radiological abnormalities are reversible after antihypertensive treatment (3). Therefore, hypertensive encephalopathy has been called posterior reversible enceph...

متن کاملUremic encephalopathy with isolated brainstem involvement revealed by magnetic resonance image: a case report
BACKGROUND Uremic Encephalopathy (UE) is a neurological complication associated with acute or chronic renal failure. Imaging findings of UE may present involvement of the basal ganglia, cortical or subcortical regions, and white matter. We report a rare case of UE caused by neurogenic bladder with isolated brainstem involvement revealed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Immediate therapy res...
