Intracranial lesions with high signal intensity on T1-weighted MR images – review of pathologies
In the article we present pathological intracranial substances and lesions, which produce high signal intensity on T1-weighted MR images. Six groups of substances are discussed: 1. Gadolinium - based contrast agents, 2.hemoglobin degradation products (intra- and extra-cellular methemoglobin), 3. lipid-containing lesions (lipoma, dermoid cyst, implanted fatty materials, laminar cortical necrosis...
متن کاملIntracranial lesions with high signal intensity on T1-weighted MR images: differential diagnosis.
Various substances, including methemoglobin, melanin, lipid, protein, calcium, iron, copper, and manganese, are responsible for the intrinsically high signal intensity observed in intracranial lesions at T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Many of these substances have physical properties that lead to other specific imaging features as well. For example, lipid-containing lesions freque...
متن کاملHigh-signal intraventricular cysticercosis on T1-weighted MR imaging.
A previously healthy 24-year-old woman was found disoriented but responsive to pain , without decorticate or rigid posturing. Evidence for Parinaud syndrome (gaze paresis, hydrocephalus, and poorly reactive and dilated pupils) was present. A CT scan performed at the time (Fig. 1 A) showed marked hydrocephalus, with the fourth ventricle appearing normal. A small focus of calcium was present in t...
متن کاملHigh-intensity basal ganglia lesions on T1-weighted MR images in neurofibromatosis.
Basal ganglia lesions, characterized on MR by increased signal intensity on T1-weighted images, were observed in seven patients with documented neurofibromatosis. These lesions most often involved the globus pallidus and internal capsules in a bilateral and symmetric fashion, and extended across the anterior commissure resulting in a "dumbbell" configuration. Smaller and less prominent foci of ...
متن کاملIncreased signal intensity in the pulvinar on T1-weighted images: a pathognomonic MR imaging sign of Fabry disease.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Fabry disease is a multisystem X-linked disorder characterized clinically by angiokeratoma, corneal and lenticular abnormalities, acroparesthesia, and renal and cardiac dysfunction and stroke. We sought to describe novel neuroimaging characteristics of Fabry disease. METHODS Neuroradiologic records of 104 hemizygous patients with Fabry disease evaluated between 1994 and...
