MR imaging in progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.

M H Guilleux, R E Steiner, I R Young

    AJNR. American Journal of Neuroradiology
    |November 1, 1986

    Summary

    This study details the MR imaging features of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Key findings include characteristic white matter lesions that are initially round and later become confluent, aiding in PML diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Neuroimaging

    Background:

    • Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare, often fatal, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system.
    • Accurate and timely diagnosis of PML is crucial for patient management and prognosis.

    Observation:

    • This study describes the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings in four histopathologically confirmed cases of PML.
    • Characteristic MR imaging features were identified and analyzed.

    Findings:

    • Lesions in PML are typically found in the white matter, exhibiting prolonged T1 and T2 relaxation times.
    • Lesions initially appear as round or oval, eventually becoming confluent and enlarged without significant mass effect.
    • The distribution is often asymmetric and located away from the periventricular areas.

    Implications:

    • Understanding these MR imaging characteristics is vital for differentiating PML from other white matter diseases.
    • This imaging signature aids radiologists and neurologists in diagnosing PML, guiding further clinical decisions.
    • The findings contribute to the broader knowledge base of neuroimaging in demyelinating disorders.
