Magnetization transfer imaging provides no evidence of demyelination in methotrexate-induced encephalopathy.
Subacute MTX-induced encephalopathy is characterized by an abrupt onset of focal neurologic deficits within days after intrathecal or systemic therapy. Demyelination is one proposed mechanism. We describe the neuroimaging features of 2 patients with clinical symptoms of subacute encephalopathy after intrathecal and systemic MTX therapy. DWI showed restricted diffusion, indicating cytotoxic edem...
متن کاملDiffusion‐weighted imaging characteristics of methotrexate‐induced acute encephalopathy
Methotrexate (MTX)-induced encephalopathy is a grave complication in patients with malignancies. The early diagnosis of acute encephalopathy was difficult by conventional computed tomography (CT), and T1- or T2-weighted magnet resonance (MR) imaging. We report that the diffusion-weighted (DW) imaging is useful for early detection of acute leukoencephalopathy.
متن کاملPathological Assessment of Brain White Matter in Relapsing-Remitting MS Patients using Quantitative Magnetization Transfer Imaging
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by lesions in the white matter (WM) of the central nervous system. Magnetic resonance imaging is the most specific and sensitive method for diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. However, the ability of conventional MRI to show histopathologic heterogeneity of MS lesions is insufficient. Quantitative magnetization transfer imaging (qMTI) is a rel...
متن کاملLysolecithin-induced demyelination in primates: preliminary in vivo study with MR and magnetization transfer.
PURPOSE To study bystander demyelination in multiple sclerosis with an experimental in vivo model of toxic demyelination. METHODS Toxic demyelinating lesions were created in two monkeys by injection of lysophosphatidylcholine in the centrum semiovale. Follow-up was done clinically and with serial MR studies, including T2-weighted and gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted images and measurement of m...
