Transient hyperintensity in the subthalamic nucleus and globus pallidus of newborns on T1-weighted images.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In the brains of newborns, changes in signal intensity in most structures can be explained by the development of myelination. However, there are some structures for which signal intensity changes cannot be accounted for by myelination alone. We examined the STN and globus pallidus signal intensities and tried to determine whether a relationship exists between the signal i...
متن کاملLinear T2 hyperintensity along the medial margin of the globus pallidus in patients with Machado-Joseph disease and Parkinson disease, and in healthy subjects.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Linear hyperintensity along the medial margin of the internal segment of the globus pallidus (GPi) on T2-weighted images from patients with Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) was recently reported. In this study, we aimed to compare the prevalence of this linear hyperintensity between patients with MJD and patients with Parkinson disease, and in control subjects. MATERIALS AN...
متن کاملGM1 gangliosidosis, late infantile onset dystonia, and T2 Hypointensity in the globus pallidus and substantia Nigra.
BACKGROUND GM1 gangliosidosis is a rare disease due to mutations in the GLB1 gene and autosomal recessive deficiency of β-galactosidase. There is considerable overlap between classical phenotypes and clinical and imaging findings, which are often difficult to interpret. PATIENT The patient in this study had dysmorphism, dysostosis, progressive dystonia, and T2 hypointensity in the basal gangl...
متن کاملAnhedonia after a selective bilateral lesion of the globus pallidus.
Mr. A, a 34-year-old man, came to our outpatient clinic for treatment of a major depressive episode. His history was also notable for polysubstance abuse and dependence in sustained remission, with prior abuse of alcohol, LSD, and other hallucinogens and prior dependence on marijuana, cocaine, opiates, and Ecstasy (MDMA [3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine]). He began using alcohol at age 9, mari...
متن کاملAnaesthesia for thermocoagulation of the globus pallidus.
Stage I. Stereotaxic radiological localization of the globus pallidus. The position of the globus pallidus is calculated from radiographs taken after lumbar air encephalography. For this procedure the patient is placed in the sitting position. A graduated metal frame is secured to the head by three drills penetrating the outer plate of the skull. Air is injected into the ventricular system by l...
