- W2014025142 abstract "<b>Objective: </b> Standard MRI confirms the diagnosis of posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (PLES), recently associated with an increasing number of medical conditions. In PLES, T2-weighted MRI demonstrates hyperintensity spreading out from posterior brain regions; the pathophysiology remains mysterious. In the acute setting, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), but not standard MR imaging, can distinguish ischemic injury from those conditions known to cause vasogenic brain edema. DWI is potentially valuable in understanding the pathophysiology of PLES and in diagnosing patients who do not have previously known risk factors. <b>Methods: </b> Serial CT and MRI studies (including DWI, apparent diffusion coefficient [ADC] maps, and, in one instance, perfusion-weighted imaging) were performed in three female patients with a neurologic syndrome consistent with PLES while hospitalized for treatment of other conditions. <b>Results: </b> None of the patients had previously described risk factors for PLES; all had only mild elevations in blood pressure. MRI showed large, abnormal, T2 hyperintense regions in the posterior cerebrum with corresponding hyperintensity on ADC maps-signal characteristics predominantly consistent with vasogenic edema. There were also smaller patchy posterior cortical regions with decreased ADC and bright DWI consistent with infarction in one, and dramatic conversion of a large region to an ischemic pattern in another. <b>Conclusions: </b> ADC maps and DWI can successfully differentiate PLES from early cerebral ischemia, thus playing a pivotal role in treatment decisions. PLES is associated with a wider variety of conditions than has been previously reported and is not always reversible. Hyperintense DWI signal in patients with the syndrome likely marks a tissue stage of permanent brain injury." @default.
