Study of hypothalamic metabolism in cluster headache by proton MR spectroscopy.

چکیده
The authors used 1H-MRS to investigate hypothalamic metabolism in 26 patients with cluster headache (CH) and 12 healthy subjects. Hypothalamic N-acetylaspartate/creatine was reduced in patients with CH vs controls (p < 0.01). Dividing the patients into episodic CH outside- and in-cluster periods and chronic CH, the hypothalamic N-acetylaspartate/creatine in all three subgroups of patients was reduced. The reduction of the neuronal marker N-acetylaspartate is consistent with hypothalamic neuronal dysfunction in patients with CH.

Serial changes in metabolism and histology in the cold-injury trauma rat brain model--proton magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy study.
The serial changes in metabolism and histology during the first 24 hours in the cold-injury trauma rat brain model were investigated by proton magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and high-resolution proton MR spectroscopy. Edema developed extensively via the corpus callosum in the ipsi- and contralateral hemispheres during observation as shown by gradually increased signal intensity on proton MR im...

PURPOSE To determine the neurometabolism of patients with active neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) by using proton MR spectroscopy. METHODS Thirty-six patients with SLE and eight control subjects were studied with proton MR spectroscopy to measure brain metabolites. Peaks from N-acetylaspartate (NAA), creatine (Cr), choline (Cho), and at 1.3 parts per million (ppm) lipid, ...
متن کاملMR imaging and spectroscopic study of epileptogenic hypothalamic hamartomas: analysis of 72 cases.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Reports of MR imaging in hypothalamic hamartomas associated with epilepsy are few, and the number of patients studied is small. We aimed to detail the relationship of hypothalamic hamartomas to surrounding structures, to determine the frequency and nature of associated abnormalities, and to gain insight into mechanisms of epileptogenesis. METHODS We systematically exami...

PURPOSE We compared the metabolic information obtained from single-voxel proton MR spectroscopy and positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. METHODS Twenty-nine patients with temporal lobe epilepsy were screened for metabolic abnormalities with both proton MR spectroscopy and PET. Lateralization with MR spectroscopy was possible by using NAA/(Cho+Cr) and an ...
متن کاملLocalized proton MR spectroscopy in infants with urea cycle defect.
SUMMARY Urea cycle defect is an inborn error of ammonium metabolism caused by a deficient activity of the enzymes involved in urea synthesis. Localized short-TE proton MR spectroscopy, performed in two infants who had citrullinemia and ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, respectively, showed a prominent increase of glutamine/glutamate and lipid/lactate complex in both cases. N-acetylaspartat...
