Limbic system damage in MS: MRI assessment and correlations with clinical testing
Volume loss in some limbic region structures has been observed in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. However, in vivo evaluation of existing tissue cellular microstructure integrity has received less attention. The goal of studies reported here was to quantitatively assess loss of limbic system volumes and tissue integrity, and to evaluate associations of these measures with cognitive and physic...
متن کاملHypernatremia-induced limbic system damage.
A 58-yr-old woman developed an extreme acute hypernatremia (serum sodium level 200 mmol/l) with generalized seizures and coma after a laparoscopic intervention for a liver hydatid cyst excision complicated by cyst rupture and followed by a peritoneal sterilization of the cyst content with 30% hypertonic saline solution. Hemodialysis was started with correction of hypernatremia at a speed of 1 m...
متن کاملIn vivo assessment of cervical cord damage in MS patients: a longitudinal diffusion tensor MRI study.
Cervical cord damage is likely to contribute to the accumulation of disability in multiple sclerosis (MS) and can be quantified in vivo using MRI. We used conventional and diffusion tensor (DT) MRI to: (a) define the temporal evolution of intrinsic tissue injury and atrophy in the cervical cord from MS patients, (b) investigate how these two aspects of cord damage are interrelated and (c) asses...
متن کاملGray Matter Pathology in MS: Neuroimaging and Clinical Correlations
It is abundantly clear that there is extensive gray matter pathology occurring in multiple sclerosis. While attention to gray matter pathology was initially limited to studies of autopsy specimens and biopsies, the development of new MRI techniques has allowed assessment of gray matter pathology in vivo. Current MRI techniques allow the direct visualization of gray matter demyelinating lesions,...
متن کاملMRI lesion volume heterogeneity in primary progressive MS in relation with axonal damage and brain atrophy.
OBJECTIVES To investigate whether axonal damage in primary progressive (PP) multiple sclerosis (MS), as measured by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (HMRS) imaging and brain atrophy, is a function of T2 weighted brain lesion volume. METHODS 34 PP MS patients were divided into two categories: low (<3 cm(3), n = 18) or high (>or=3 cm(3), n = 16) T2 lesion load (LL). An Index of Brain Atro...
