Proton MR spectroscopy of gliomatosis cerebri: case report of elevated myoinositol with normal choline levels.
A 69-year-old woman presented with clinical and imaging findings suspicious for gliomatosis cerebri, later confirmed by biopsy (moderately cellular, infiltrating glioma). Single voxel proton MR spectroscopy (TE 20 and TE 135) and spectroscopic imaging (TE 135) performed at admission showed normal choline, decreased N-acetyl, and elevated myo-inositol levels relative to creatine. The primary con...
متن کاملMR and proton MR spectroscopy of the brain in hyperhomocysteinemia caused by methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency.
MR imaging showed severe atrophy and large areas without myelination in the brain of a girl with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency. Proton MR spectroscopy revealed mild signal reduction of N-acetylaspartate. After treatment with betaine, a second MR imaging study revealed a decrease in the size of the hypomyelinated zones that was paralleled by improved clinical status and laborato...
متن کاملProton MR Spectroscopy
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has been in use in biochemistry labs for more than 50 yr. In its earlier years, it was used primarily for in vitro chemical analysis of small samples. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful imaging technique that combines exquisite sensitivity to soft tissue contrast with the ability to demonstrate anatomy in many different planes and projec...
متن کاملProton MR spectroscopy with metabolite-nulling reveals elevated macromolecules in acute multiple sclerosis.
Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy has shown elevated signals in the spectral region of lipids in acute multiple sclerosis lesions. The metabolite-nulling technique allows the separation of macromolecules from other metabolites, such as lactate, N-acetyl-aspartate, creatine, choline and myo-inositol. Using this technique in studies on multiple sclerosis patients, we were able to differentia...
متن کاملProton MR spectroscopy in Lesch-Nyhan disease.
In vivo proton spectra for four patients with Lesch-Nyhan disease and four control subjects matched for age and sex were acquired from voxels (1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 cm3) placed in the prefrontal cortex and striatum. The patients with Lesch-Nyhan disease had decreased metabolites, especially N-acetylaspartate and glutamate/glutamine, only in the prefrontal cortex as compared with the control group. Th...
