Imaging of White Matter Lesions

Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2002
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is very sensitive for the detection of white matter lesions (WML), which occur even in normal ageing. Intrinsic WML should be separated from physiological changes in the ageing brain, such as periventricular caps and bands, and from dilated Virchow-Robin spaces.

A mysterious white matter lesion

Acta Neurologica Belgica, 2019
White matter diseases come with a huge number of differential diagnosis. Diagnostic work up in patients with white matter disease is primarily based on neuroradiological findings. Sometimes those findings could mislead a clinician to the wrong diagnosis and hence to unnecessarily diagnostic procedures.

Evolution of White Matter Lesions

Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2002
A 3-year follow-up of 273 participants (mean age 60 years) of the Austrian Stroke Prevention Study provides first information on the rate, clinical predictors and cognitive consequences of MRI white matter lesions (WML) in elderly individuals without neuropsychiatric disease.

Stuporous catatonia and white matter lesions

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2009
A 42-year-old woman was taken to hospital with a 3-day history of progressive confusion and agitation. On observation, she was mute and displayed significant immobility. At times, the immobility was accompanied by catalepsy or ‘‘waxy flexibility”. There was no obvious evidence of focal neurological deficits.

Viral Infections and White Matter Lesions

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2014
This article discusses imaging findings in virus-related infectious and noninfectious encephalitis/encephalopathy with white matter involvement, as well as the differential diagnosis based on the characteristic distribution. Acute viral encephalitis/encephalopathy is a medical emergency.

White matter lesion in the elderly

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1992
The advent of neuroimaging has brought medical attention to the frequency of unsuspected white matter lesions in the brains of elderly people. In 1987 Hachinski suggested the term "leuko-araiosis" to identify such white matter abnormalities detected by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging to emphasize that their etiology and clinical ...

Cognition and White Matter Lesions

Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2002
Although it is recognized that ischemic stroke is a potent risk factor for vascular dementia, the influence of white matter lesions (WML) on cognitive function is less clear. In community-based MRI studies that have administered mental status tests to subjects who were free of clinically evident neurologic disease, a weak relationship between WML and ...

White matter lesions and cognition

Neurology, 2006
Neurologists and neuroradiologists often see small T2-hyperintense lesions in the hemispheric white matter of patients who undergo MR imaging. Such findings often lead to neurologic consultation, particularly when the reason for MR imaging was not to study the white matter.

Cerebral white matter lesions after pre-eclampsia

Pregnancy Hypertension: An International Journal of Women's Cardiovascular Health, 2017
Women who have had pre-eclampsia in their previous pregnancies demonstrate a greater prevalence of cerebral white matter lesions several years after the pregnancy than women who have been normotensive during their pregnancy. Both the pathophysiology and the timing of development of these lesions are uncertain.

Postinfectious Encephalitis with Multifocal White Matter Lesions

Neuropediatrics, 1989
Two cases of multifocal white matter lesions occurring after viral illness are reported. Evoked potentials study and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (T2-weighted image) showed early abnormalities while CT scan was initially normal. Patients improved dramatically with steroid therapy.
