Most of the central nervous system (CNS) endothelium regulates the passage of solutes and functions as a blood-brain barrier (BBB). During experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the CNS, loss of BBB function occurs. The authors have previously shown
BACKGROUND
MR imaging criteria for diagnosing acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) have not been clearly established. Due to the wide spectrum of differential considerations, new imaging features allowing early and accurate diagnosis for ADEM are needed. We hypothesized that ADEM lesions
Epidemics of enterovirus 71 infections caused the rapid death of many children in Malaysia in 1997 and in Taiwan in 1998. Pulmonary edema occurred in most of the fatal cases and was considered to be neurogenic. The role of the heart was rarely investigated before. Between January 1998-January 2001,
Computed tomographic (CT) scans were obtained for eleven patients with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADE). Four patients had normal CT scans despite repeated examination. Abnormalities were found in seven patients and included cortical-enhancing lesions, low-density lesions in the deep white
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis ADEM is an uncommon inflammatory disease of the central nervous system and can be defined strictly as scattered focal or multifocal disseminated inflammation of brain or spinal cord, or both. An ADEM usually reveals patchy demyelinated lesions with a high signal
OBJECTIVE
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) varies widely in symptoms and severity. Some cases are associated with massive life-threatening cerebral edema refractory to conventional medical management.
METHODS
A 51-year-old woman with ADEM who developed severe brain swelling and herniation
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), also known as postinfectious encephalomyelitis, is an immunologically mediated demyelinating disorder affecting the central nervous system that typically occurs after infection or vaccination. The prognosis of ADEM is generally favorable. In a small
Regional changes in percent water content, a measure of regional levels of edema, were determined in female Lewis rats during key stages of recurrent experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (rEAE). The changes in percent water content of the spinal cord and brainstem closely paralleled the
OBJECTIVE
To report the clinical and radiological features of 2 patients with neuromyelitis optica (NMO) associated with severe acute disseminating encephalomyelitis. The first patient had anti-aquaporin 4 antibodies (NMO-IgG) but no lesion enhancement, in contrast to the second patient who was
The cases of two adults who developed viral encephalomyelitis are presented. The diagnosis of herpes virus hominis infection was made as a result of the rising titers of herpes virus on indirect fluorescence tests in the serum and the cerebrospinal fluid. Both patients developed retinal vasculitis
We analyzed the effects of myelin basic protein (MBP)-specific encephalitogenic T line cells in neonatal syngeneic recipients before and after formation of central nervous system myelin. Lewis rat pups (postnatal days 0, 1, 2, 4, 8) were injected intraperitoneally with MBP-specific T cell line in
Many papers on the MR features of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) have been published, but only a few described contrast-enhanced MRI for this disease. In this study, we analyzed serial changes in MR features and the contrast-enhancing effect on lesions in five patients (5 men, 4-19
BACKGROUND
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) may be a rapidly progressive disease with different clinical outcomes.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the radiological findings of fulminant ADEM on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images, and to
