Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping in Cerebral Cavernous Malformations: Clinical Correlations.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Quantitative susceptibility mapping has been shown to assess iron content in cerebral cavernous malformations. In this study, our aim was to correlate lesional iron deposition assessed by quantitative susceptibility mapping with clinical and disease features in patients with cerebral cavernous malformations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients underwent routine clinical scan...
متن کاملClinical reasoning: cerebral cavernous malformations.
Lama M. Chahine, MD Michel J. Berg, MD SECTION 1 A 40-year-old man presented for management of seizures. His first seizure was 5 years earlier. Evaluation at that time revealed a hemorrhagic lesion near the occipital horn of the left lateral ventricle. Incomplete surgical excision was performed with indeterminate pathology suggestive of an astrocytoma. MRI demonstrated 7 separate lesions consis...
متن کاملSusceptibility-weighted imaging in familial cerebral cavernous malformations.
A 59-year-old man with a family history of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) presented with focal seizures. T2*-weighted gradient echo (GRE) images showed multiple lesions consistent with cavernous malformations (figure 1). Susceptibility-weighted images (SWI) detected nearly triple the number of lesions than were seen with the GRE sequence (figure 2). SWI is a relatively new MRI technique...
متن کاملPneumocephalus mimicking cerebral cavernous malformations in MR susceptibility-weighted imaging.
We read with interest the article by de Souza et al 1 about the use of susceptibilityweighted imaging (SWI) for the evaluation of patients with cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs). In this regard, we would like to report the following case: In November 2008, a 38-year-old woman presented with a history of left tinnitus and hypoacusis. The usual MR imaging sequences showed a left acoustic ne...
متن کاملDynamic permeability and quantitative susceptibility: related imaging biomarkers in cerebral cavernous malformations.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hyperpermeability and iron deposition are 2 central pathophysiological phenomena in human cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) disease. Here, we used 2 novel MRI techniques to establish a relationship between these phenomena. METHODS Subjects with CCM disease (4 sporadic and 17 familial) underwent MRI imaging using the dynamic contrast-enhanced quantitative perfusion a...
