Article Figures & Data
Figures
- Fig 1.
Axial fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MR (A) and diffusion-weighted b0 (B) images show an abnormal area in the right mesencephalon (arrows). Apparent diffusion coefficient (C) and fractional anisotropy (D) color-scale parametric maps show an increased apparent diffusion coefficient and decreased fractional anisotropy values (green) in the same abnormal area (B) (arrowheads).
- Fig 2.
Spinal cord sagittal T2-weighted MR (A) and diffusion-weighted b0 (B) images show wide intraspinal abnormal areas (arrows). Apparent diffusion coefficient (C) and fractional anisotropy (D) color-scale parametric maps show increased apparent diffusion coefficient and decreased fractional anisotropy values (green) in the same abnormal area (arrowheads).
- Fig 3.
Spinal cord sagittal T2-weighted MR (A) and diffusion-weighted b0 (B) images show wide intraspinal abnormal areas (arrows). Fiber tracking (C), coregistered and projected on a T2-weighted image, shows an unexpected unaltered shape of the white matter tracts, with visualization (D) of corticospinal tracts and nerve roots (arrowhead).
- Fig 4.
Sagittal T2-weighted MR image (A) shows extensive abnormal areas involving the brain stem and the cervical spinal cord (arrow). A long TE MR spectroscopy voxel was located on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery abnormal areas in the medulla oblongata (B, arrow) and showed a spectrum with increased Cho peak, decreased NAA peak, and an inverted 1.3-ppm lactate peak (Lac, arrow box). Cr indicates creatine.
