PURPOSE: To investigate the relationship between clinical stages and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) changes in the brain of patients with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 18 patients with stage II (N = 11) and III (N = 7) SSPE and 11 age-matched controls underwent routine MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). The ADC values were automatically calculated. Seven distinct neuroanatomic structures (frontal, parieto-occipital, and cerebellar white matter; deep white matter; thalamus; basal ganglia; and brainstem) were selected for analysis in the patient and control groups. RESULTS: Hyperintensities in the periventricular and subcortical white matters on T2-weighted images and ADC maps were detected in 63.6% of patients with stage II and in all patients with stage III. There were significant differences between stage II and III patients and also between patients and control group in ADC values that obtained from all locations. The highest mean ADC values were calculated in stage III patients. Although MRI and DWI findings were normal in four patients with stage II disease, ADC values were significantly increased when compared with controls. CONCLUSION: The stage of disorder may be independent of DWI appearance during the early stage (stages I and II), even though the brain is affected. Therefore, DWI and ADC values supplemental to routine MRI should also be utilized for lesion detection and definition to enhance diagnostic accuracy in patients with SSPE. 相似文献

Purpose
Our purpose is to characterize MRI, and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) findings in pregnant patients who were identified clinically to have PRES. We study the conversion of reversible vasogenic edema to irreversible cytotoxic edema and predict the progression to infarction.Patients and methods
Twenty two pregnant females, aged between 20 and 46 years with gestational age between 20 and 40 weeks of gestation and with neurological manifestations had undergone conventional MRI, diffusion weighted image study, and ADC map.Results
Lesions were mainly affecting the parieto-occipital regions, symmetrical or slightly asymmetrical distribution of the lesions in both cerebral hemispheres was found in most cases. The MRI findings in all the twenty two patients were: abnormal low SI in T1 WI, abnormal high SI on T2 and FLAIR WI. In DWI, hyperintensity with hyperintensity in ADC map was seen in 15 patients, hyperintensity with hypointensity in ADC map in 4 patients, normotensive in DWI with hyperintensity in ADC map in 3 patients.Conclusion
The diagnosis of PRES has important therapeutic and prognostic value. The use of diffusion-weighted imaging and ADC maps allows an earlier and clearer differentiation of cytotoxic and vasogenic edema, which can predict the development of infarction. 相似文献5.

Delayed encephalopathy of acute carbon monoxide intoxication: diffusivity of cerebral white matter lesions 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Kim JH Chang KH Song IC Kim KH Kwon BJ Kim HC Kim JH Han MH 《AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology》2003,24(8):1592-1597
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Carbon monoxide intoxication has delayed effects on the cerebral white matter characterized by bilateral, confluent lesions that reflect diffuse demyelination. To increase our understanding of this process, we assessed the diffusion characteristics of these lesions. METHODS: Five consecutive patients with delayed encephalopathy of CO intoxication were examined with diffusion MR imaging. Diffusion-weighted images (DWIs) were obtained 25-95 days after their exposure to CO and during a relapse of neuropsychiatric symptoms, which occurred after an initial recovery. Imaging was performed at 1.5 T by using a spin-echo echo-planar sequence with diffusion gradients of 0, 500, and 1000 s/mm(2). DWIs and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps were visually evaluated, and mean ADCs were calculated from the periventricular white matter and the centrum semiovale, where confluent hyperintensity was seen on T2-weighted images. Findings were compared with those of normal-looking white matter. RESULTS: In all five patients, both T2-weighted images and DWIs showed the white matter lesions as bilateral, diffuse, confluent areas of hyperintensity in the periventricular white matter and centrum semiovale. On ADC maps, these lesions were isointense, with focal areas of hypointensity (n = 4) or diffuse hypointensity (n = 1). Mean ADC values of the white matter lesions were significantly lower than those of normal-looking white matter, regardless of their isointensity or hypointensity on ADC maps (P <.05). CONCLUSION: Bilateral, confluent, white matter lesions in patients with delayed encephalopathy of CO intoxication show decreased diffusivity. 相似文献

Diffusion-weighted MR imaging in the early diagnosis of periventricular leukomalacia 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has been shown to be highly sensitive in detecting acute cerebral infarction, but its use
in detecting hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in neonates is still controversial. Moreover, few reports concern pre-term
infants with possible periventricular leukomalacia (PVL). We examined the ability of this technique to detect cerebral changes
in the acute phase of PVL. Fifteen MR examinations were performed in 11 pre-term infants (mean age 3.4 days, range 2–6 days).
Conventional DWI sequences, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps, and US obtained in the acute phase were compared. All
the neonates underwent US follow-up up to 4 months after delivery; those with suspected PVL also underwent MRI follow-up for
up to 2 months. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations were performed to assess the presence of DW changes compatible with
PVL. Diffusion-weighted MRI showed signal hyperintensity associated with decreased ADC values in 3 subjects (27%). In these
patients conventional MRI sequences were interpreted as normal and US (performed at the same time) as doubtful in 2 and compatible
with PVL in 1 subject. The MRI and US follow-up confirmed severe damage in all these patients. In 1 neonate hemorrhages involving
the germinative matrix were identified. In 8 neonates MRI was considered normal. In these subjects US follow-up (up to 4 months)
confirmed no signs of PVL. Diffusion-weighted imaging may have a higher correlation with later evidence of PVL than does conventional
MR imaging and US when performed in the acute phase of the disease. 相似文献

Diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) in spinal cord ischemia 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Introduction Spinal cord infarction is a rare clinical diagnosis characterized by a sudden onset of paralysis, bowel and bladder dysfunction, and loss of pain and temperature perception, with preservation of proprioception and vibration sense. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) usually demonstrates intramedullary hyperintensity on T2-weighted MR images with cord enlargement. However, in approximately 45% of patients, MR shows no abnormality. Diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) has been widely used for the evaluation of a variety of brain disorders, especially for acute stroke. Preliminary data suggest that DWI has the potential to be useful in the early detection of spinal infarction.Methods We performed DWI, using navigated, interleaved, multishot echo planar imaging (IEPI), in a series of six patients with a clinical suspicion of acute spinal cord ischemia.Results In all patients, high signal was observed on isotropic DWI images with low ADC values (0.23 and 0.86×10−3 cm2/s), indicative of restricted diffusion.Conclusion We analyzed the imaging findings from conventional MR sequences and diffusion-weighted MR sequences in six patients with spinal cord infarction, compared the findings with those in published series, and discuss the value of DWI in spinal cord ischemia based on current experience. Although the number of patients with described DWI findings totals only 23, the results of previously published studies and those of our study suggest that DWI has the potential to be a useful and feasible technique for the detection of spinal infarction. 相似文献

Cerebral perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) has been used to confirm the localization of the epileptic focus and the evaluation of seizure. Recently, diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) has been recognized for evaluation of seizure activity. We describe a case of transient seizure activity demonstrated by Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT and DWI. This patient was a 61-year-old woman with a 10-month history of right middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction who had a generalized seizure during MRI. DWI immediately after seizure showed transient hyperintensity in the right frontal gray matter and the white matter, and these apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) were transiently decreased. This transient hyperintensity on DWI corresponded to transient hyperperfusion identifying the epileptic focus on interictal Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT. Transient sustained seizure activity might cause these changes on DWI and SPECT. It was considered that interictal Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT showed the delayed hyperperfusion caused by excitatory neuronal overaction and DWI showed cytotoxic edema seizure-induced by energy failure of the membrane-bound Na/K-ATPase pump. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The dynamics of brain-water content associated with hemodialysis in patients with severe azotemia remains obscure. To investigate whether either interstitial or cytotoxic edema is responsible for dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS), we used diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) to measure the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), which is sensitive for detecting tissue water dynamics. METHODS: Eight consecutive patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) and blood urea nitrogen level of more than 100 mg/dL (160.9 +/- 53.1 mg/dL) were recruited. Conventional MR images, DWI, and clinical manifestations were obtained before and after the 1st hemodialysis. The ADC values were determined for regions of normal-appearing gray and white matter and for regions of hyperintensity of white matter on T2-weighted MR imaging. RESULTS: Foci of bright areas of white matter were found in all patients on T2-weighted images. The ADC values of the patients with ESRD, in white matter and gray matter before and after hemodialysis, were greater than those of the healthy controls (P < .005). Regarding the impact of hemodialysis, the ADC of frontal lobe white matter increased significantly after hemodialysis (1.09 +/- 0.11 versus 1.03 +/- 0.11, P = .036). We did not find the specific area of brain edema reported in posterior leukoencephalopathy and the osmotic demyelination syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that severe azotemia in end stage renal disease leads to interstitial brain edema reflected as increased ADC, and the further increased ADC reflects that edema associated with 1st hemodialysis is interstitial rather than cytotoxic in nature. 相似文献

Purpose
To assess the role of MRI DWI in detection and characterization of ICH.Patients and methods
61 patients with intracranial hemorrhage who underwent MRI (including DWI, ADC, and GRE) and CT were retrospectively included in this study. MRI DWIs were analyzed for age, type, (primary parenchymal hemorrhage or hemorrhagic lesion) and location of the hemorrhage. The results were compared with conventional MRI sequences, GRE, and CT to assess the diagnostic accuracy of DWI in assessment of patients with intracranial hematoma.Results
We had 61 patients with intracranial hemorrhage, six cases were missed by DWI. MRI DWI was accurate for the detection of hyperacute, medium, large sized acute, early and late sub acute, subdural, hemorrhagic components of arterial and venous infarction, intraventricular hemorrhage. DWI showed low sensitivity in detection of subarachnoid and small intraparenchymal hemorrhage The ADC measurements in hyperacute, acute, early and late subacute hematoma were statistically equivalent and were significantly less than the late subacute hematoma as well as the contralateral white matter.Conclusion
MRI DWI was accurate in detection, characterization and staging hyperacute, acute, subacute hemorrhage as well as hemorrhagic components of arterial and venous infarctions and of low diagnostic accuracy in subarachnoid and small parenchymal hemorrhage. 相似文献16.

Introduction Pyogenic intraventricular empyema (PIE) is a potentially fatal CNS infection. However, it is sometimes difficult to diagnose
PIE on the basis of clinical and conventional MRI findings. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has been accepted as a useful
MR sequence for the diagnosis of various intracranial infections. The purpose of this study was to determine the DWI characteristics
of PIE and the role of DWI in the diagnosis of PIE.
Methods Eight patients with PIE underwent MRI including DWI. We assessed the presence and signal characteristics of PIE. In seven
patients, the signal intensities of the PIE and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were measured and the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR)
percentage was calculated. ADC values of the PIE, CSF, and white matter were also determined.
Results PIE was detected in all patients by DWI, in five (63%) by FLAIR imaging, and in two (25%) by T1- and T2-weighted imaging.
The CNR percentages of the PIEs in relation to the CSF were highest for DWI, followed by FLAIR, T1-, and T2-weighted imaging.
There were statistically significant differences between the images of each sequence. In all patients, PIE showed hyperintensities
on DWI and hypointensities to the CSF and hypo- or isointensities to the white matter on ADC maps. The ADC values (mean±SD)
of the PIE, CSF, and white matter were 0.60±0.27, 2.81±0.04, and 0.79±0.08 (×10−3 mm2/s). There was a statistically significant difference between PIE and the CSF.
Conclusion PIE shows a bright intensity on DWI, and DWI is a sensitive MR sequence for the diagnosis of PIE. 相似文献

PURPOSE: We sought to determine whether an early CT ischemic lesion showing parenchymal hypoattenuation might be undetectable on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in acute cerebral ischemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated CT and MR images of 70 consecutive patients with acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction. All patients underwent CT and MR imaging within 6 hours of symptom onset. We determined the presence of reversed discrepancy (RD), defined as an early ischemic lesion showing parenchymal hypoattenuation on CT but no hyperintensity on DWI. CT Hounsfield units (HU), apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs), and perfusion parameters were calculated for RD lesions. RESULTS: RD was found in 9 (12.9%) patients and at basal ganglia (89%). The mean HU of RD lesion was lower than that of normal tissue (DeltaHU, 2.33 +/- 0.74, P < .001). RD lesions showed no significant decrease of ADC (ADC ratio, 0.97 +/- 0.07, P = .059) and cerebral blood flow (relative CBF, 0.87 +/- 0.20, P > 0.05). Delayed DWI hyperintensity occurred in 8 (88.8%) RD lesions, and all lesions progressed to infarction. In 6 (66%) of 9 patients with RD, Alberto Stroke Program Early CT scores of ischemic lesions were lower on CT than those on DWI. CONCLUSION: RD was uncommonly found mainly in basal ganglia, and all RD lesions progressed to infarction at follow-up. Early CT ischemic lesion showing parenchymal hypoattenuation may be undetectable on DWI, and DWI may underestimate extent of severe ischemic tissue in patients with acute MCA infarction. 相似文献

The authors present a case of anterior spinal artery stroke demonstrated by diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) using single-shot echo-planar imaging. DWI clearly demonstrated hyperintensity with a decreased apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) at 26 hours after onset. At 28 days, there was persistent hyperintensity with an increased ADC, corresponding to T2-weighted hyperintensity in the whole spinal gray matter at the C2-C7 vertebral level. DWI provided satisfactory images and was helpful for diagnosing and evaluating anterior spinal artery stroke. 相似文献
