Cranial computed tomography in Whipple's disease.

R I Grossman, K R Davis, J Halperin

    Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography
    |April 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Whipple's disease can affect the brain, presenting as enhancing lesions on cranial computed tomography (CT) scans. Early CT imaging with contrast is recommended for patients with suspected Whipple's disease symptoms.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Whipple's disease is a rare systemic bacterial infection caused by Tropheryma whipplei.
    • Neurological involvement in Whipple's disease is uncommon but can lead to significant morbidity.

    Observation:

    • A 58-year-old male presented with enhancing lesions in the medial right temporal lobe and right pons on cranial CT.
    • Sural nerve biopsy confirmed Whipple's disease.
    • Histological examination of a temporal lobe lesion revealed unique, previously undocumented findings.

    Findings:

    • This case uniquely demonstrates cranial CT findings in Whipple's disease.
    • The observed temporal lobe lesions showed unprecedented histological characteristics.
    • The findings highlight the potential for diverse neurological manifestations of Whipple's disease.

    Implications:

    • Cranial CT with intravenous contrast should be considered in the diagnostic workup of patients with suspected Whipple's disease.
    • The unique histological findings may offer new insights into the pathogenesis of neuro-Whipple's disease.
    • Increased awareness of CT findings can aid in earlier diagnosis and management of neurological Whipple's disease.
