Two Cases of Crossed Cerebellar Diaschisis with or without Thalamic Lesion on Brain MRI in Status Epilepticus

چکیده
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 electroencephalography (EEG) of this patient did not show PLEDs. The authors suggest that the pulvinar lesion might be related to the generation of PLEDs in Status epilepticus.

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

We report a 61-year-old right-handed man developing disturbance of memory after a discrete thalamic infarction. Neuropsychological assessment revealed deficits in memory with retrograde and anterograde components, especially for verbal material. Brain MRI showed a left anterior thalamic infarction with normal angiographic findings. Despite the small lesion in the thalamus, he showed prolonged m...

To study crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD), cerebellar blood flow and oxygen metabolism were measured with positron emission tomography (PET) in 12 patients who showed a minimal degree of hemiparesis due to single unilateral supratentorial lesion. Six patients presenting with mild to moderate cerebellar type hemiataxia showed CCD, that is, decreased blood flow and oxygen metabolism in the cer...

PURPOSE Crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) is a state of neural depression caused by loss of connections to injured neural structures remote from the cerebellum usually evaluated by positron emission tomography. Recently it has been shown that dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion weighted MRI (PWI) may also be feasible to detect the phenomenon. In this study we aimed to assess the frequen...
