Magnetic resonance imaging of crossed cerebellar diaschisis and bright pulvinar in status epilepticus.

چکیده
Crossed cerebellar diaschisis and bright pulvinar are rare in patients with status epilepticus. We present a case of a 53-year-old man who was found confused, incontinent, and nonverbal. The EEG findings were consistent with non-convulsive status epilepticus. The brain MR images showed findings consistent with crossed cerebellar diaschisis and bright pulvinar. We report and discuss this case to increase the awareness of these MRI signs in confused and obtunded patients.

Two Cases of Crossed Cerebellar Diaschisis with or without Thalamic Lesion on Brain MRI in Status Epilepticus
We report two cases of status epilepticus who showed crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) with or without pulvinar high signal intensity (HSI) on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The first patient had CCD with pulvinar HSI on MRI and periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (PLEDs) on electroencephalography. MRI of the second patient revealed CCD without pulvinar HSI. And electroencep...
متن کاملCrossed Cerebellar Diaschisis
Crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) describes a depression of oxidative metabolism glucose and blood flow in the cerebellum secondary to a supratentorial lesion in the contralateral cerebral hemisphere. PET/MR has the potential to become a powerful tool for demonstrating and imaging intracranial lesions .We herein report 3 cases of CCD imaging using a tri-modality PET/CT–MR setup for investigat...

متن کاملCorrelation of Asymmetry Indices Measured by Arterial Spin-Labeling MR Imaging and SPECT in Patients with Crossed Cerebellar Diaschisis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Crossed cerebellar diaschisis, not only a secondary result of supratentorial infarction but also an indicator of clinical outcomes, has frequently been reported on PET and SPECT but has been rarely described with arterial spin-labeling MR imaging. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of arterial spin-labeling MR imaging to evaluate crossed cerebellar dia...
متن کاملCrossed cerebellar diaschisis: insights into oxygen challenge MRI.
Hyperoxia during T2*-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (oxygen challenge imaging (OCI)) causes T2*-weighted signal change that is dependent on cerebral blood volume (CBV) and oxygen extraction fraction (OEF). Crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD), where CBV is reduced but OEF is maintained, may be used to understand the relative contributions of OEF and CBV to OCI results. In subjects with larg...
