Reversible corpus callosum lesion in legionnaires' disease.
Legionnaires' disease is often associated with neurological findings. Despite such findings, computed tomography and neuropathological investigations are typically normal. This report describes a reversible lesion of the corpus callosum identified on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a patient with legionnaires' disease. MRI may show previously undocumented neuropathology in acute legionnaire...

متن کاملBilateral Corpus Callosum Stroke
On the second day of rehabilitation, the patient became aphasic and lethargic; he was also found to have abulia (loss or deficiency of willful initiative or drive) and left-sided apraxia (loss of the ability to carry out learned purposeful movements). A second CT brain scan showed a bilateral corpus callosum lesion (Figure). Administration of tPA was deferred because of the recent stroke. Initi...
متن کاملDiffusion anisotropy in the corpus callosum.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The corpus callosum is a heterogeneous white-matter tract that connects the cerebral hemispheres. The purpose of this investigation was to study its microstructural architecture in normal human adult brains by using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). METHODS Two hundred consecutive patients referred for brain MR imaging underwent additional DTI with a high gradient field s...
