Are Periventricular Lesions Specific for Multiple Sclerosis?
BACKGROUND The presence of periventricular lesions (PVL) on MRI scans is part of the revised McDonald multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnostic criteria. However, PVL can be found in other neurological diseases including stroke and migraine. Migraine is highly prevalent in patients with MS. OBJECTIVE To determine if PVL are specific for patients with MS compared to stroke and migraine. METHODS We ...
متن کاملPeriventricular lesions correlate with cortical thinning in multiple sclerosis.
OBJECTIVE It has been suggested recently that cortical pathology in multiple sclerosis (MS) may, at least partly, be caused by factors in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We thus hypothesized that MS-related tissue changes in compartments close to the CSF, such as periventricular lesions, might correlate with cortical pathology. METHODS We investigated a cohort of 160 patients, comprising 91 with a...
متن کاملAdult-type metachromatic leukodystrophy mimicking multiple sclerosis.
recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficiency of arylsulphatase A (ASA). It is characterized by accumulation of sulphatide in the white matter in the central nervous system and peripheral nerves1. The disease is divided in four subtypes, according to onset, severity and progression of the disease: late infantile (before age 4), early juvenile (age 4 to 6), late juvenile (age 6 to 1...
متن کاملShould we distinguish between periventricular and deep white matter hyperintensities?
Periventricular and Deep White Matter Hyperintensities? To the Editor: The recent article by DeCarli et al1 addresses a somewhat neglected aspect of white matter hyperintensities (WMH), the significance of their anatomical location. The authors argue that the commonly accepted categorization into deep (DWMH) and periventricular (PVWMH) WMH is arbitrary, because the 2 are very highly correlated,...
متن کاملMorphologic, distributional, volumetric, and intensity characterization of periventricular hyperintensities.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE White matter hyperintensities are characteristic of old age and identifiable on FLAIR and T2-weighted MR imaging. They are typically separated into periventricular or deep categories. It is unclear whether the innermost segment of periventricular white matter hyperintensities is truly abnormal or is imaging artifacts. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used FLAIR MR imaging from ...
