These small regions of high intensity are observed on T2 weighted MRI images (typically created using 3D FLAIR) within cerebral white matter (white matter lesions, white matter hyperintensities or WMH) [1] [2] or subcortical gray matter (gray matter hyperintensities or GMH). The volume and frequency is strongly associated with increasing age. [2]
Head CT showing periventricular white matter lesions. Leukoaraiosis is a particular abnormal change in appearance of white matter near the lateral ventricles. It is often seen in aged individuals, but sometimes in young adults. [1] [2] On MRI, leukoaraiosis changes appear as white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in T2 FLAIR images.
Hypertensive leukoencephalopathy refers to a degeneration of the white matter of the brain following a sudden ... MRI shows hyperintensities on T2 weighted ...
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome; Other names: Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome visible on magnetic resonance imaging as multiple cortico-subcortical areas of T2-weighted hyperintense (white) signal involving the occipital and parietal lobes bilaterally and pons.
Brain MRI of a patient with late-onset LAMA2-MD showing white matter abnormalities (hyperintensities) in T2. Abnormal white matter signals in Brain MRI is a near-universal sign in patients with LAMA2-MD. These white matter abnormalities appear as hyperintense signals on T2-weighted and FLAIR brain MRI images especially in locations that are ...
Others classify them as hippocampal, cortical, and WM lesions, [23] and finally, others give seven areas: intracortical, mixed white matter-gray matter, juxtacortical, deep gray matter, periventricular white matter, deep white matter, and infratentorial lesions. [24] The distribution of the lesions could be linked to the clinical evolution [25]
The presence of incidental MRI findings in the CNS white matter: Ovoid and well-circumscribed homogeneous foci, with or without involvement of the corpus callosum; T2 hyperintensities larger than 3 mm in diameter, which fulfill at least 3 of the 4 Barkhof MRI criteria [7] for DIS; The CNS abnormalities are not consistent with a vascular condition
FLAIR hyperintensity confined to sulcus and/or cortex/subcortical white matter in one location < 5 cm FLAIR hyperintensity 5 to 10 cm, or more than 1 site of involvement, each measuring < 10 cm FLAIR hyperintensity measuring > 10 cm, often with significant subcortical white matter and/or sulcal involvement.
