Ipilimumab-induced hypophysitis involving the optic tracts and tuber cinereum evaluated using 3D fluid-attenuated inversion recovery

چکیده
Ipilimumab, a human monoclonal antibody against cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4, was approved by the U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in 2011 for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic malignant melanoma. Occurrence of hypophysitis, an immune-related adverse event due to ipilimumab use, has been frequently reported. We report a case of ipilimumab-induced hypophysitis involving the optic tracts and tuber cinereum, identified using 3D fluid-attenuated inversion recovery.

The purpose of this study was to elucidate which white matter (WM)-tracts are visualized on heavily T2-weighted three-dimensional fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (hT2w-3D-FLAIR) images. Records of seven patients who underwent hT2w-3D-FLAIR and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of the head at 3 Tesla were analyzed. Two neuroradiologists determined WM-tracts visualized on hT2w-3D-FLAIR and ident...
متن کاملIpilimumab-induced hypophysitis and uveitis in a patient with metastatic melanoma and a history of ipilimumab-induced skin rash.
Ipilimumab, a monoclonal antibody that blocks cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4, leading to enhanced T-cell activation and proliferation, is associated with improved overall survival in melanoma. Its use can result in immune-related adverse events, the most common of which are skin rash, diarrhea, and colitis. Ipilimumab-induced hypophysitis is uncommon, mostly involves anterior pitui...

Ipilimumab is a monoclonal antibody directed against CTLA4 T-lymphocyte antigen used as cancer therapy. Immune-related adverse events are common side effects and may include hypophysitis-related hypopituitarism. The clinical features of six patients with ipilimumab-induced hypophysitis (IH) are described. The clinical features of IH reported in clinical trials, including the incidence of IH by ...

White matter hyperintensities (WMH) seen on T2WI are a hallmark of multiple sclerosis (MS) as it indicates inflammation associated with the disease. Automatic detection of the WMH can be valuable in diagnosing and monitoring of treatment effectiveness. T2 fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MR images provided good contrast between the lesions and other tissue; however the signal intensi...
