Achados
- Symmetric T1 signal hyperintensity involving the bilateral basal ganglia, thalami (especially the pulvinar nuclei), and dentate nuclei with corresponding susceptibility artifact
- Patchy T2/FLAIR hyperintensities in the bilateral frontal periventricular white matter
- Additional linear areas of susceptibility artifact involving the bilateral cerebral subcortical and deep white matter, most pronounced in the frontal lobes
Diagnóstico
Fabry disease
Relatório de Amostra
No acute intracranial abnormality.
Symmetric T1 signal hyperintensity involving the bilateral basal ganglia, thalami (especially the pulvinar nuclei), and dentate nuclei with corresponding susceptibility artifact, likely relating to mineralization. Additional linear areas of susceptibility artifact involving the bilateral cerebral subcortical and deep white matter, most pronounced in the frontal lobes also likely represent mineralization. Given distribution and patient age, these findings are favored to represent Fabry disease. Disorders of calcium homeostasis including hyper- and hypoparathyroidism are additional diagnostic considerations.
Patchy T2/FLAIR hyperintensities in the bilateral frontal periventricular white matter, which are nonspecific but may relate to chronic small vessel ischemia.
