We describe radiologic findings of germinoma involving bilateral basal ganglia and cerebral white matter. In the early stage, T1-weighted MR images showed hyperintense areas in the bilateral globi pallidi. Later, T2-weighted images showed hyperintense areas involving bilateral white matter. The MR imaging findings reported here could help facilitate the early diagnosis of germ cell tumors in young patients. 相似文献

PURPOSETo describe MR and CT features of germinoma originating in the basal ganglia and thalamus and to discuss the roles of each modality for its diagnosis.METHODSMR and CT studies of six cases of germinomas, five of which were histologically proved, were retrospectively reviewed. T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted conventional spin-echo images, and unenhanced and contrast-enhanced CT images were evaluated.RESULTSTypically, the tumor consisted of an irregular solid area with contrast enhancement and various-size cysts. Cystic components were found in five cases and calcification in four. Intratumoral hemorrhage was noted in one. Ipsilateral cerebral hemiatrophy and brain stem hemiatrophy were noted in three cases each. MR was superior to CT in evaluating precise tumor extension, cystic components, and intratumoral hemorrhage, although in one case, extension of the tumor was better defined on CT in its early stage. Calcification was difficult to identify by MR alone. The solid components of the tumors generally showed slightly high density on CT, which seemed to be characteristic compared with nonspecific intensity pattern on MR.CONCLUSIONThe combination of CT and MR findings allows early detection and appropriate diagnosis of the mass in the basal ganglia and/or thalamus. 相似文献

A case of germinoma originating in the basal ganglia is presented. Preoperative MRI showed an area of a reticulated core of mixed signal intensity with a surrounding rim of low signal intensity in the right basal ganglia on T2-weighted image. This finding was reported to be characteristic of cavernous angioma, but the tumor was histopathologically identified to be a germinoma with old hemorrhage. The pitfall of MRI in diagnosing brain tumors is discussed. 相似文献

Cranial MRI findings in four patients who had hepatic dysfunction, including one with sole hepatic form of Wilson's disease, were reported. The MR examinations revealed bilateral, symmetric hyperintensity in the globus pallidus, subthalamic nuclei and mesencephalon on T1-weighted images with no corresponding abnormality on T2-weighted sequences. The basal ganglia were normal on CT examinations in all patients. None of the patients had the clinical findings of hepatic encephalopathy. The MR findings in our patients did not correlate with the degree or duration of hepatic dysfunction.

Methods We studied four patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic renal failure who developed sudden choreic movement disorders.
The clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, MR imaging findings, and clinical outcome in each patient were evaluated.
Results All four patients had long-term diabetes mellitus and severe azotaemia. Brain MR findings consisted of bilateral symmetric
basal ganglia lesions, with decreased signal intensity on T1-weighted images and increased signal intensity on T2-weighted
images. All three patients who underwent diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) showed signal intensities similar to those of
the surroundings in regions corresponding to increased signal intensity on T2-weighted images, with slightly increased apparent
diffusion coefficient (ADC) values. Two of the patients showed small focal areas of restricted diffusion within the basal
ganglia lesions. After haemodialysis, follow-up MR imaging in all patients demonstrated that the basal ganglia lesions had
regressed markedly, with some residual changes. The movement disorders also improved in all patients.
Conclusion A syndrome associated with acute bilateral basal ganglia lesions in diabetic uraemic patients is rare, with reversible changes
demonstrated by clinical and imaging findings. DWI showed that the bilateral basal ganglia lesions in this syndrome were primarily
vasogenic in origin, although there were small foci of cytotoxic oedema within the lesions. 相似文献

Intramuscular ganglia arising from the superior tibiofibular joint: CT and MR evaluation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Stefano Bianchi M.D. Ibrahim Fikry Abdelwahab M.D. Samuel Kenan M.D. Alicia Zwass M.D. Giovanni Ricci M.D. Giovanni Palomba M.D. 《Skeletal radiology》1995,24(4):253-256
Objective To evaluate the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of intramuscular ganglia (IMG) that arise from the superior tibiofibular joint (STFJ).Material and Methods Our series consisted of three men and three women. Four patients were studied by MRI, one by CT only, and two by both modalities. Contrast was used in one of the two patients studied by CT. MRI was obtained in at least two orthogonal planes to demonstrate the relation of the ganglia to STFJ.Results The MR and CT appearance of these ganglia was basically that of a well-defined soft tissue mass with low attenuation on CT images consistent with the presence of fluid. On MR studies, they had an isointense signal on T1-weighted images and a homogenous high-intensity signal on T2-weighted images. MRI demonstrated the attachment of these ganglia to the STFJ.Conclusion CT and MRI were effective, noninvasive modalities in the evaluation of IMG. The imaging features on both modalities were consistent with the presence of fluid-containing lesions that had close proximity and were attached to the STFJ. The combination of location and the fluid consistency of these lesions facilitated the diagnosis. 相似文献

MRI of germinomas arising from the basal ganglia and thalamus 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21
We reviewed the MRI findings of germinomas originating from the basal ganglia, thalamus or deep white matter in 13 patients
with 14 germinomas, excluding those in the suprasellar or pineal regions. Ten cases were confirmed as germinomas by stereotaxic
biopsy, three by partial and one by total removal of the tumour. Analysis was focussed on the location and the signal characteristic
of the tumour, haemorrhage, cysts within the tumour and any other associated findings. Thirteen of the tumours were in the
basal ganglia and one in the thalamus. Haemorrhage was observed in seven patients, while twelve showed multiple cysts. Associated
ipsilateral cerebral hemiatrophy was seen in three patients. The signal intensity of the parenchymal germinomas was heterogeneous
on T1- and T2-weighted images due to haemorrhage, cysts and solid portions. We also report the MRI findings of germinomas
in an early stage in two patients.

PURPOSEOur goal was to describe the MR imaging appearance and clinical pathologic correlates of bilateral basal ganglia hyperintensity in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).METHODSMedical records and laboratory data were reviewed retrospectively in nine cases of bilateral basal ganglia hyperintensity on long-repetition-time MR images. Opportunistic infections of the central nervous system were excluded by clinical and laboratory data. Postmortem neuropathologic examination was obtained in two cases.RESULTSAll patients presented acutely with new seizures or changes in mental status. A history of drug abuse was elicited in seven of the nine remaining patients. Renal failure was present in six cases. Symmetric bilateral caudate and putamen hyperintensity on T2-weighted images was found in all cases with variable extension to the surrounding white matter, thalamus, and brain stem. Postmortem neuropathologic examination in two cases revealed numerous microinfarcts in a distribution similar to the MR signal abnormalities.CONCLUSIONThe MR appearance of basal ganglia hyperintensity in this series of AIDS patients represents ischemic tissue injury. We propose that this clinicopathologic entity is precipitated by the combined effects of human immunodeficiency virus infection and drug use, particularly cocaine and/or associated toxic contaminants. 相似文献

High uptake on 11C-methionine positron emission tomographic scan of basal ganglia germinoma with cerebral hemiatrophy 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We herein describe a 12-year-old male patient with a germinoma of the basal ganglia who presented with progressive hemiparesis. MR imaging showed ipsilateral cerebral hemiatrophy predominantly in the left basal ganglia, whereas no mass or enhancement was depicted. Single photon emission CT revealed no significant uptake of thallium, whereas (11)C-methionine positron emission tomography showed clearly discernible uptake in the left putamen. Stereotactic biopsy, referencing the results of (11)C-methionine positron emission tomography, was performed, allowing histologic verification of germinoma to be established. (11)C-methionine positron emission tomography was the only technique that indicated the precise localization of the tumor in our patient and enabled biopsy-based final diagnosis of the basal ganglia germinoma without any overt mass formation. 相似文献

We describe a patient with central nervous system lupus and choreatic movements in whom both basal ganglia showed high signal intensity on T1-weighted MR images, while the signal on T2-weighted images remained low. Within 8 months after onset, the choreatic movements had disappeared, with a corresponding decrease in the hyperintense T1 signal. The emergence of the choreatic movement disorder in this patient might have been related to the T1 hyperintensity of the basal ganglia, which, in turn, might have resulted from a vascular insult associated with central nervous system lupus. 相似文献

Hyperintense basal ganglia on T1-weighted MR images in patients receiving parenteral nutrition 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Patterns of intracranial signal intensity on magnetic resonance (MR) images were studied in nine patients undergoing long-term total parenteral nutrition therapy. The duration of therapy ranged from 5 months to 11 years (mean, 5.3 years). Symmetric increased signal intensity on T1-weighted MR images (hyperintense relative to white matter) was observed in the basal ganglia of all patients, without corresponding abnormality on T2-weighted images. Analysis of signal-intensity characteristics and distribution pattern suggests that the basis for these changes may be deposition of intravenously administered paramagnetic trace elements, especially manganese, and/or an astrogliotic reaction to such deposition. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Patients undergoing parenteral nutrition and those with portosystemic encephalopathy secondary to chronic liver disease and acquired and congenital portosystemic venous shunts frequently present manganese deposition in the basal ganglia, detected by MR imaging as hyperintense areas on T1-weighted sequences. We also observed similar abnormalities in the basal ganglia of patients with chronic renal failure undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Our aim was to evaluate the pallidal signal intensity on T1-weighted images in a series of patients undergoing hemodialysis, with further evaluation of serum manganese levels and neurologic correlation, comparing them with patients with chronic renal failure without dialytic treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed MR imaging examinations in 9 patients with chronic renal failure, 5 of whom were undergoing hemodialysis. An experienced neuroradiologist scrutinized the presence of symmetric hyperintensities in the basal ganglia on T1-weighted sequences. We also determined the serum manganese levels and performed the neurologic evaluations in all patients. RESULTS: All patients undergoing hemodialysis presented elevated serum manganese levels and symmetric hyperintensities within the globus pallidus. In this group, 4 patients presented with parkinsonian symptoms, myoclonus, and syndromes with vestibular and vestibular-auditory symptoms. The patients without dialytic treatment presented with neither bilaterally increased T1 MR imaging signal intensity within the globus pallidus nor symptoms of manganism. CONCLUSION: Our preliminary results demonstrated the occurrence of bilateral pallidal hyperintensity on T1-weighted images in all patients undergoing hemodialysis associated with high serum manganese levels, revealing a new association. 相似文献

Basal ganglia lesions, characterized on MR by increased signal intensity on T1-weighted images, were observed in seven patients with documented neurofibromatosis. These lesions most often involved the globus pallidus and internal capsules in a bilateral and symmetric fashion, and extended across the anterior commissure resulting in a "dumbbell" configuration. Smaller and less prominent foci of increased signal also were present on corresponding T2-weighted images. These lesions did not exhibit mass effect, edema, or enhancement with gadolinium-DTPA. They were not visible on CT (performed in two patients) and demonstrated no progression during a 2-year interval in three patients. Their signal characteristics and morphology suggest that they represent heterotopias containing Schwann cells and/or melanin deposits. Migrational abnormalities of these neural crest derivatives are known to occur in neurofibromatosis, and the presence of such heterotopias has been documented pathologically in patients with this disorder. While recent reports discuss foci of increased signal intensity on T2-weighted MR images in patients with neurofibromatosis, signal abnormalities on T1-weighted images have not yet been described. When lesions characterized by similar signal as well as morphologic characteristics are encountered on MR, the diagnosis of neurofibromatosis should be considered. 相似文献

Computed tomography of germinomas in basal ganglia and thalamus 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Summary CT findings of 6 cases with germinoma originating in the basal ganglia and thalamus are reported. The early finding of germinoma in this region on plain CT, was an irregularly defined, slightly high density area without mass effect. Repeated CT scanning showed enlarging iso-density lesion accompanied by mass effect to high. Intratumorous cysts and calcifications were frequently observed. The tumor showed mild to moderate and inhomogeneous enhancement by intravenous injection of contrast medium. A tendency to ipsilateral hemicerebral atrophy was found in one case. These findings were somewhat different from those of germinomas in the pineal and suprasellar regions. This phenomenon may be related to the anatomical difference of the brain where the tumor originated. 相似文献

Chronological changes in nonhaemorrhagic brain Infarcts with short T1 in the cerebellum and basal ganglia 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Our purpose was to investigate nonhaemorrhagic infarcts with a short T1 in the cerebellum and basal ganglia. We carried out
repeat MRI on 12 patients with infarcts in the cerebellum or basal ganglia with a short T1. Cerebellar cortical lesions showed
high signal on T1-weighted spin-echo images beginning at 2 weeks, which became prominent from 3 weeks to 2 months, and persisted
for as long as 14 months after the ictus. The basal ganglia lesions demonstrated slightly high signal from a week after the
ictus, which became more intense thereafter. Signal intensity began to fade gradually after 2 months. High signal could be
seen at the periphery until 5 months, and then disappeared, while low or isointense signal, seen in the central portion from
day 20, persisted thereafter.

PURPOSETo characterize the temporal evolution of the foci of T1 shortening in basal ganglia lesions in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1).METHODSA retrospective review of MR images of 37 patients with NF-1 revealed 8 patients in whom regions of T1 shortening were noted in the basal ganglia. We reviewed sequential images obtained in these selected patients with special attention to chronological changes in the foci of T1 shortening and their relationship to changes on T2-weighted images.RESULTSRegions of short T1 in the globus pallidus were observed in 8 patients. In 2 of 3 patients in whom foci of T1 shortening were not identified on the initial imaging study, T1 shortening developed and T2 prolongation diminished after an initial increase. In the third patient, T1 and T2 prolongation appeared simultaneously. Sequential scans in the other 5 patients, in whom areas of increased signal intensity in the globus pallidus were present on both T1-weighted and T2-weighted images on the initial MR examination, showed a diminution in the size of the region of T2 prolongation in 2 patients, an increase in the size of the region of T2 prolongation in 1 patient, a mixed pattern of change in the size of the region of T2 prolongation in 1 patient, and no change in the region of T2 prolongation in 1 patient. During the periods of these T2 changes, the areas of T1 shortening showed no significant interval change.CONCLUSIONThe foci of prolonged T2 relaxation in the basal ganglia appear to evolve in a manner similar to the foci of T2 prolongation in the white matter of the posterior fossa. However, the corresponding foci of short T1 in the basal ganglia may evolve with a different time course. In some patients, the foci of short T1 develop at a later time than the T2 prolongation and progress; these foci of short T1 do not appear to regress over periods as long as 90 months. Possible causes of the T1 shortening are remyelination and calcification. 相似文献

Portal-systemic encephalopathy: presence of basal ganglia lesions with high signal intensity on MR images 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Sixteen patients with cirrhosis of the liver underwent cranial magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and transarterial portography to evaluate the relationship between basal ganglia lesions and portal-systemic collateral vessels. No neuropsychiatric disturbance was observed in any of the patients at the time of the MR examination, but four patients with portal-systemic encephalopathy were included in the study. Basal ganglia lesions, characterized by increased signal intensity on T1-weighted MR images, were observed in nine of the 16 patients, including the four with portal-systemic encephalopathy. These nine patients had large portal-systemic collateral vessels that were more than 10 mm in diameter. These collateral vessels were receiving blood from the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) in all nine patients. The lesions involved the globus pallidus and portions of internal capsules in a bilateral and symmetric fashion and did not exhibit mass effect. The authors conclude that there may be a significant relationship between high-intensity basal ganglia lesions and large portal-systemic collateral vessels receiving blood from the SMV. 相似文献
