Susceptibility-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 کاملSusceptibility-weighted imaging for the evaluation of patients with familial cerebral cavernous malformations: a comparison with t2-weighted fast spin-echo and gradient-echo sequences.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The T2-weighted gradient-echo (GRE) imaging is currently the gold standard MR imaging sequence for the evaluation of patients with cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) lesions. We aimed to compare the sensitivity of susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) with T2-weighted fast spin-echo (FSE) and GRE imaging in assigning the number of CCM lesions in patients with the famil...
متن کاملVarying clinical presentations of familial cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) and spinal cord cavernous malformations (SCCMs)
We present a family afflicted by both extensive cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) and spinal cord cavernous malformations (SCCMs). These may be inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern or occur sporadically. The presentation varies and may include a multitude of clinical symptoms separated in time and space. Cavernous malformations should be considered in the differential diagnosis of s...
متن کاملQuantitative 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...
