The role of magnetic resonance imaging in the early diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic inflammation (CLIPPERS syndrome)

Background: Chronic lymphocytic inflammation with perivascular contrast enhancement in the pons responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) is a rare and relatively new pathology magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) highly important its diagnosis.
 Clinical case description: The analysis of MRI results revealed typical changes characteristic CLIPPERS, such as contrast-positive small-point curvilinear lesions pons, medulla oblongata midbrain, well cerebral peduncles cerebellum. In addition we described, according literature, white matter large hemispheres thalami may also be observed syndrome chronic inflammation.
 Conclusion: not only enables one achieve high-quality neuroimaging but allows avoiding invasive, traumatic diagnostic methods.
