Abstract

We present MR diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) findings of status epilepticus in two patients. DWI showed a focal or diffuse hyperintensity with decreased apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value, indicating cytotoxic edema in th e cerebral hemispheric cortices. The hyperintensities were located in the bilateral temporoparietooccipital areas and insular cortex in one patient, and unilaterally in the temporal lobe in the other patient.

저자들은 2명의 경련 중첩증 환자들의 확산강조 자기공명영상을 보고하고자 한다. 확산강조 영상은 대뇌 반구에서 세포독성 부종을 시사하는 현성확산계수의 감소가 동반된 국소적 또는 미만성 고신호강도를 보였다. 이러한 고신호강도는 한 환자에서는 양측 측두두정후두엽과 도피질, 다른환자에서는 편측성 측두엽에서 나타났다.
