Multifocal white matter lesions

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 1996
There is a long differential diagnosis for multifocal white matter lesions on MR. The most common causes are prominent Virchow-Robin spaces, white matter ischemic change, and multiple sclerosis, but many other causes have been reported. Most of these are related to vascular or other demyelinating etiologies, but infectious/inflammatory disease, trauma,

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.

CT and MRI Rating of White Matter Lesions

Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2002
Rating scales play an important role in the evaluation of computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance-detected white matter lesions (WML). Unfortunately, this type of visual semiquantitative assessment is not yet an optimal tool because commonly agreed concepts regarding its use are lacking.

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.

Microglial activation in white matter lesions and nonlesional white matter of ageing brains

Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, 2007
White matter lesions (WML), a common feature in brain ageing, are classified as periventricular (PVL) or deep subcortical (DSCL), depending on their anatomical location. Microglial activation is implicated in a number of neurodegenerative diseases, but the microglial response in WML is poorly characterized and its role in pathogenesis unknown.

Wilson's disease with myoclonus and white matter lesions

Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2007
White matter lesions (WML) and epilepsy have been occasionally seen in Wilson's disease. No cases of generalized myoclonus have been reported so far. We present a patient with psychiatric symptoms starting at age 16, followed by tremor, generalized dystonia and severe generalized myoclonus.

MRI white matter lesions in pediatric migraine

Cephalalgia, 2013
Objectives: Studies have reported an association between migraine and white matter hyperintensities on T2-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in adults. The aim of the present study was to evaluate white matter MRI brain findings in pediatric patients with migraine.

Disappearance of a white matter lesion in incontinentia pigmenti

Pediatric Neurology, 2000
We report a 12-month-old Japanese female with incontinentia pigmenti, in whom magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) disclosed a small transient lesion in the white matter. After birth, she developed some vesicular skin eruptions that mainly involved the lower extremities.
