Section IV Neurodegenerative/ White Matter Diseases/ Metabolic Tsiouris_CH85.indd 409 11/9/12 6:27 AM Tsiouris_CH85.indd 410 11/9/12 6:27 AM Case 85 Clinical Presentation A 28-year-old woman presents with leg weakness Radiologic Findings A,B C D,E F Fig 85.1 Multiple axial T2-W FLAIR images demonstrate scattered periventricular foci of T2 prolongation radiating from ventricles (A), within the left brachium pontis (B), and within the splenium of the corpus callosum (C) in a pattern typical of demyelination as seen with multiple sclerosis The lesion within the corpus callosum demonstrates enhancement on the postcontrast T1W image (D) and restricted diffusion on the DWI (E) with matching ADC (F) signal consistent with an active region of demyelination Diagnosis Multiple sclerosis (MS) Differential Diagnosis • • • • Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (more common in children, deep gray nuclear involvement common and colossal involvement uncommon, indistinguishable from first episode of MS) Microvascular ischemic disease (older patient, typically sparing of corpus callosum and subcortical U fibers, lack of enhancement) Vasculitis (small chronic infarctions and leptomeningeal enhancement may be seen) Neoplasm (typically more mass effect, rarely involves the corpus callosum unless glioblastoma or lymphoma) 411 Tsiouris_CH85.indd 411 11/9/12 6:27 AM 412 • • CASE-BASED BRAIN IMAGING Neurosarcoidosis (may see leptomeningeal enhancement, and the corpus callosum is not typically involved) Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (corpus callosum is not typically involved—only 2% of white matter diseases other than MS involve the corpus callosum, typically also involves the subcortical U fibers) Discussion Background MS is the most common neurologic disorder in young adults, generally having onset between 20 and 45 years of age, although 13% of cases present before age 20 and 15% after age 50 MS is more common in women than men with a ratio of 3:2 The clinical definition of MS requires that the patient demonstrate evidence of lesions separated in time and space Separation in time requires two attacks each lasting at least 24 hours involving different parts of the CNS and separated by at least 1 month Separation in space requires clinical evidence of distinct neurologic deficits and/or MRI evidence of separate CNS lesions Pathologically, MS is characterized acutely by inflammatory change followed by multifocal areas of demyelination with varying degrees of axonal degeneration Etiology The cause is unknown, but it is likely an autoimmune reaction to an environmental stimulus in a genetically susceptible individual Clinical Findings The presentation varies with the location of lesions Focal motor and sensory deficits are typical, with headache or seizures being less common presenting symptoms Optic nerve involvement is common, and patients may present with acute visual changes due to optic neuritis Spinal cord involvement may cause myelopathic symptoms Most patients have a chronic relapsing and remitting course, although some patients may demonstrate steady progression of deficits The McDonald Criteria are diagnostic criteria for MS First defined in 2001, the criteria were revised in 2010 to include objective criteria to demonstrate dissemination of lesions in time and space Criteria include clinical and MR imaging findings Complications Blindness, paralysis, dementia, and loss of sphincter control may develop as the disease progresses Clinical Subtypes • • • • Relapsing-remitting (RR) is the most common initial presentation of patients (85%) Secondary-progressive (SP) is considered the usual progression of disease from RR By 10 years 50% of RR and by 25 years 90% of RR patients enter SP phase Primary-progressive (PP): 5–10% of MS patients are progressive from initial presentation Progressive-relapsing (PR): rare progressive disease with clear acute relapses, with or without full recovery Periods between relapses are characterized by continuing disease progression MS Variants • • • Tsiouris_CH85.indd 412 Marburg: younger patients typically presenting with febrile prodrome and a clinically fulminant course with death in months Devic type: “neuromyelitis optica” characterized by demyelination of the optic nerves and spinal cord Schindler type: “diffuse sclerosis” characterized by extensive, confluent, asymmetric demyelination within the bilateral supratentorial and/or infratentorial parenchyma 11/9/12 6:27 AM IV NEURODEGENERATIVE/WHITE MATTER DISEASES/METABOLIC • 413 Balo's concentric sclerosis type: characterized by large lesions with alternating zones of demyelinated and myelinated white matter, monophasic, and often fatal Pathology Gross • • Acute plaques are edematous and have a pink-gray color Chronic plaques show atrophy and cystic change Microscopic • • • There is a variable degree of perivenular inflammation, macrophage infiltration, myelin loss, edema, and gliosis, with varying axonal loss Necrosis, hemorrhage, and calcification are rare Cystic change may occur in large lesions Imaging Findings Computed Tomography • • Lesions are typically isodense or hypodense on noncontrast scan Acute lesions may show enhancement postcontrast Magnetic Resonance • • • • • • • • Lesions are typically homogeneously hyperintense on T2W imaging Large acute lesions may have a “target” appearance: a hyperintense center representing demyelination with a slightly less hyperintense periphery representing vasogenic edema A rim of hypointensity separates these two regions When lesions are large and masslike with or without edema they may mimic neoplasm, tumefactive MS (see Case 86) Lesions may be iso- or hypointense on T1W imaging, and may demonstrate a rim of T1 shortening attributed to free radicals in infiltrating macrophages T1 black holes are MS plaques with decreased signal on T1 If acute and enhancing the decreased signal is likely due to edema Chronic decreased signal within a plaque on a T1W image is thought to be secondary to associated axonal loss Acute lesions often enhance following gadolinium administration, and the pattern may be nodular, arclike, or ringlike New disease inflammation disrupts the blood–brain barrier resulting in enhancement Enhancement may precede T2 abnormalities Enhancement generally lasts 4 weeks and then resolves (range 1–16 weeks) Acute lesions may demonstrate diffusion restriction, or enlargement of preexisting T2 lesions secondary to acute inflammation Lesions typically affect the corpus callosum, periventricular white matter, and arcuate fibers; they may also occur in the posterior fossa and in gray matter structures such as the basal ganglia The periventricular WM lesion are often ovoid and perpendicular to the ventricular surface “Dawson’s fingers.” Cerebral volume loss greater than expected for age is often seen and diffuse or focal loss of volume of the corpus callosum may be seen due to intrinsic corpus callosum plaques or due to axonal loss secondary to more peripheral MS plaques MR spectroscopy may demonstrate reduced NAA peaks with a reduced NAA:creatine ratio and an elevated choline within plaques Treatment • • Tsiouris_CH85.indd 413 Corticosteroids, particularly acutely Beta-interferon and other immunomodulators are also used 11/9/12 6:27 AM 414 CASE-BASED BRAIN IMAGING Prognosis Highly variable depending on the form of the disease and its responsiveness to therapy PEARLS • • • • • MR is much more sensitive and specific than CT for the diagnosis of MS, as MR’s multiplanar capability better demonstrates callosal involvement and “Dawson’s fingers” (ovoid lesions with their long axis perpendicular to the ventricular surface) (Fig 85.2A, B) Gadolinium administration is not necessary for the diagnosis of MS However, it does allow differentiation between acute and chronic lesions (only acute demyelination enhances) (Fig 85.2C, D) Lesions of MS generally lack mass effect or surrounding edema even when large T2W imaging is more sensitive in evaluation of the posterior fossa for lesions than T2W FLAIR (Fig 85.2E, F) Abnormal hypointensity may be seen in the basal ganglia in patients with severe longstanding MS This is thought to be a degenerative phenomenon related to iron deposition PITFALLS • • • Tumefactive MS may mimic a brain tumor or infarction, but there is generally less mass effect than would be expected for a similarly sized tumor (Fig 85.2G–I) On CT, lesions are typically hypodense compared with isodense or hyperdense in the case of cellular tumors Additionally, the giant plaque may show an asymmetric “front” of enhancement rather than an intact ring of enhancement (Fig 85.2I) When the differential includes brain tumor and tumefactive MS, a follow-up scan may be necessary to assess for evolution and avoid an unnecessary biopsy (Fig 85.2J, K) MR spectroscopy may also aid in the diagnosis MR is highly sensitive for the detection of MS lesions, but it is nonspecific Therefore, findings must be correlated with other clinical parameters and laboratory findings such as CSF analysis Companion Cases A,B D Tsiouris_CH85.indd 414 C Fig 85.2 (A–K) Examinations from multiple patients The typical MRI appearance of “Dawson’s fingers” is shown with ovoid T2 hyperintense lesions radiating from the corpus callosum on (A) axial and (B) sagittal T2W FLAIR (C, D) The second patient illustrates the use of contrast to identify acute areas of inflammatory demyelination (D) in a patient with severe underlying chronic disease on axial T2W FLAIR (C) 11/9/12 6:27 AM IV NEURODEGENERATIVE/WHITE MATTER DISEASES/METABOLIC 415 E,F G H,I J Fig 85.2 (continued) The third patient illustrates the increased conspicuity of posterior fossa MS lesions on (F) T2W compared to T2W FLAIR images (E) (G) The fourth patient presented with a hypodense lesion in the left parietal lobe on CT This tumefactive MS case can be distinguished from tumor by its hypodensity on CT (compared to isodense or hyperdense in tumor), relative lack of mass effect on surrounding brain that would be expected for tumor on (H) axial T2W FLAIR and (I) irregular rim of enhancement on postcontrast T1W imaging (J, K) Same patient as in Fig 85.2H, I In patients where it is unclear if the lesion in tumefactive MS or tumor, follow-up imaging may be obtained Four months after treatment with steroids (and also after biopsy) (J) axial T2W FLAIR demonstrates decreased size of the lesion and nearly complete resolution of enhancement on

(E) T2-FLAIR sequences demonstrate two dominant rounded T2 hyperintense white matter lesions within the left parietal lobe; these lesions demonstrate surrounding more pronounced T2 prolongation suggesting vasogenic edema Lesions have minimal local mass effect and mildly efface the regional sulci The sagittal T2-FLAIR sequence (E) also demonstrates a lamellated, or onion-skin, appearance of the more anterior lesion (D) Axial and (F) sagittal postcontrast T1W images demonstrate ringlike enhancement of these lesions A tiny contralateral periatrial white matter lesion does not enhance (C)

more mass effect, more surrounding vasogenic edema, rare to have lamellated appearance, rare to be hypodense on CT) Abscess (typically restricted diffusion centrally within the rim enhancing lesion, T2 hypointense rim with “shaggy” enhancement) Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (more common in children, deep gray nuclear involvement common and colossal involvement uncommon, but may be indistinguishable from the first episode of MS) Vasculitis (areas of infarction and leptomeningeal enhancement are common) Encephalitis (patients are typically acutely ill with fever and alteration in consciousness) Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (corpus callosum is not typically involved—only 2% of white matter diseases other than MS involve the corpus callosum, typically also involves the subcortical U fibers) Discussion Background MS is the most common neurologic disorder in young adults, generally having onset between 20 and 45 years of age, although 13% of cases present before

lesion from neoplasm Enhancement generally lasts 1 to 2 months and then resolves Additional smaller lesions more typical of MS may lead to diagnosis Susceptibility-weighted images show normal undisrupted venules within the brain crossing the plaques (Fig 86.2D), which is less likely to be seen with neoplasms 11/9/12 6:28 AM 674 CASE-BASED BRAIN IMAGING Fig 152.2 Axial NCCT shows permeative-destructive changes of the bone adjacent to the tumor centered in the left jugular foramen (index case) • • Meningioma (poorly circumscribed jugular foramen mass with permeative-sclerotic bony changes, avid enhancement, and a broad dural base; large flow voids are usually not seen) Metastasis (may be hypervascular, typically more infiltrative and destructive) Discussion Glomus tumors, also called paragangliomas or chemodectomas, are slow-growing neoplasms arising from glomus bodies (paraganglioma tissue) Glomus bodies consist of nonchromaffin cells derived from the neural crest and are normal components of the diffuse neuroendocrine system Their function is often obscure, but they likely function as chemoreceptors In the head and neck, favored locations for glomus tumors include the tympanic plexus in the middle ear cavity (glomus tympanicum), the dome of the jugular bulb (glomus jugulare), the nodose ganglion of the vagus nerve (glomus vagale), and the carotid body near the carotid bifurcation (carotid body tumor) Vagal paragangliomas are the least common, representing ~5% of head and neck paragangliomas Because of the proximity of the hypotympanum to the jugular fossa, many tumors will involve both of these locations In the temporal bone, glomus bodies (neural crest tissue) accompany the tympanic nerve (nerve of Jacobson, a branch of CN IX) and the auricular branch of the vagus nerve (nerve of Arnold) In the jugular foramen, glomus tumors arise from glomus bodies in the adventitia of the jugular bulb Depending on their location, lesions may present with symptoms of pulsatile tinnitus or hearing loss, or with symptoms due to mass effect on the lower cranial nerves These tumors may be multiple and/ or familial, and they rarely metastasize Malignant degeneration occurs in 4% of cases On CT, they typically result in permeative-destructive changes of adjacent bone (Fig 152.2) On MR, they are often irregularly marginated tumors that are intermediate-signal intensity on T1W imaging, iso- to mildly hyperintense on T2W imaging, and enhance intensely post contrast Tumors larger than 2 cm may show prominent intralesional flow voids, often referred to as a “salt and pepper” appearance In some cases, these tumoral flow voids may be visualized with MRA Conventional angiography or CTA, which is often useful for preoperative embolization, demonstrate a hypervascular mass, often supplied by ascending pharyngeal branches of the external carotid artery, with a persistent stain Suggested Readings Rao AB, Koeller KK, Adair CF; Armed Forces Institute of
