Acute necrotizing encephalopathy of childhood: correlation of MR findings and clinical outcome.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The clinical outcome of acute necrotizing encephalopathy of childhood (ANEC), an encephalopathy characterized by symmetrical involvement of the thalami, has historically been poor, but recent studies have reported better outcomes. By devising a MR imaging scoring system, we determined the relationship between characteristic MR findings and clinical outcome of patients wit...
متن کاملAcute Necrotizing Encephalopathy: Diffusion MR Imaging and Localized Proton MR Spectroscopic Findings in Two Infants
In this report, we describe the findings of diffusion MR imaging and proton MR spectroscopy in two infants with acute necrotizing encephalopathy in which there was characteristic symmetrical involvement of the thalami. Diffusion MR images of the lesions showed that the observed apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) decrease was more prominent in the first patient, who had more severe brain damag...

Acute encephalopathy is classified into multiple syndromes, such as acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion (AESD), clinically mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) and acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE), characterized radiologically by lesions in the cerebral subcortical white matter, splenium of the corpus callosum and bil...

Necrotizing enterocolitis is a disease of unknown origin. Epidemiological observations emphasize the potential roles of infection, enteric feeding and local vascular compromise of the Gastrointestinal tract in the pathogenesis of this disease. Clinical findings include signs of sepsis , plus abdominal distention , vomiting, bloody stool and occasionally , signs of intestinal perforation and pe...
متن کاملStructural Findings in the Brain MRI of Patients with Acute Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Background: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning may lead to hypoxic/anoxic injury and eventually ischemic encephalopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a well-recognized role in assessment of the severity of brain damage caused by CO poisoning. In this study, we aimed to present and analyze the structural abnormalities in the brain MRI and especially in diffusion weighted MRI (DWI) images in ...
