Hypothalamic lesions in multiple sclerosis.
Demyelinating lesions of fiber bundles in and adjacent to the hypothalamus (i.e. the fornix. anterior commissure, internal capsule, and optic system) may be the basis for autonomic and endocrine alterations in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Therefore we investigated the presence and immunological activity of lesions in hypothalamic fiber bundles of 17 MS patients and 14 controls. In the MS g...
متن کاملCortical lesions in multiple sclerosis.
Although previous studies have shown that the lesions of multiple sclerosis may involve the cerebral cortex, there is little published research on the prevalence and distribution of such lesions. Using neuropathological techniques and MRI, a series of studies has been undertaken in order to assess this, in particular to identify their relationship to cortical veins. A serial MRI study showed th...
متن کاملPathognomonic MR imaging findings in Balo concentric sclerosis.
Irregular, concentric zones of increased signal on T2-weighted cranial MR imaging studies may strongly suggest Balo concentric sclerosis (BCS), a rare but recognized variant of multiple sclerosis. Differentiating BCS from multiple sclerosis or neoplasm can be difficult clinically, but MR imaging findings noted in this case may be pathognomonic.
متن کاملTumor-like multiple sclerosis.
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Tumor-like manifestation of multiple sclerosis is one of the rare clinical variants and it is frequently misdiagnosed. This is a report on a 45-year-old man who presented with right-sided hemiparesis. Initial computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging studies of the brain revealed a large hyperintense s...
متن کاملMitochondrial defects in acute multiple sclerosis lesions
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease, which leads to focal plaques of demyelination and tissue injury in the CNS. The structural and immunopathological patterns of demyelination suggest that different immune mechanisms may be involved in tissue damage. In a subtype of lesions, which are mainly found in patients with acute fulminant multiple sclerosis with Balo's type concentric ...
