Neurosarcoidosis--demonstration of meningeal disease by gadolinium enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.

چکیده
Arriving at a firm diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis continues to pose serious problems, particularly when evidence of granulomatous disease outside the nervous system is lacking. The commonest mode of presentation of neurosarcoidosis is with cranial nerve palsies. Two cases of presumed neurosarcoidosis with cranial nerve palsies showed clear evidence of focal meningeal disease on gadolinium-DTPA enhanced MRI brain scans. Although not specific for sarcoidosis, this technique may be very useful in aiding the diagnosis in suspected cases.

We developed biofunctionalized nanoparticles with magnetic properties by immobalizing diethyle-neglycol (DEG) on Gd2O3, and PEGilation of small particulate gadolinium oxide (SPGO) with two me-thoxy-polyethyleneglycol-silane (mPEG-Silane 550 and 2000 Da) using a new supervised polyol route, described recently. In conjunction to the previous study to achieve a high quality synthesis and increase ...

متن کاملMeningeal Gd-DTPA enhancement in multiple sclerosis.
Although the cause of demyelination in multiple sclerosis (MS) remains obscure, inflammation invariably is present. Demyelination in MS is accompanied by lymphoplasmocytic infiltration of retinal veins (1), cerebral white matter, and meninges (2-4). In vivo demonstration of infiltration of the retina can be observed on ophthalmoscopy and by means of fluorescein angiography (1). In vivo demonstr...
