Significance of Perianular Enhancement Associated With Anular Tears on Magnetic Resonance Imagings in Diagnosis of Radiculopathy
Spine. 33(22):2440-2443, October 15, 2008.
Abstract
Study Design. Retrospective analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical findings about chemical radiculitis-associated anular tear in patients with radiculopathy.Objective. To investigate MRI findings of the chemical radiculitis caused by anular tears and to determine whether chemical radiculitis detected by MRI is the cause of radiculopathy.Summary of Background Data. Many studies document that irritation of adjacent nerve roots by a chemical mediator of inflammation from the nucleus pulposus may result in radiculopathy. Computed tomography (CT) discography may be the best examination for diagnosing discogenic chemical radiculitis but is too invasive. A reliable imaging method for replacing invasive provocative CT discography and diagnosing chemical radiculitis is required.Methods. The study population consisted of 12 patients with pain referred to leg(s) with or without low back pain who underwent lumbar spine MRI. All cases of our study demonstrated perianular enhancement caused by chemical radiculitis associated with anular tears. Patterns and locations of perianular enhancement adjacent to anular tears on MRI were assessed. MRI findings were compared with clinical symptoms and/or provocative transforaminal epidural injection (n = 6). For documentation of the relationship between perianular enhancement and radiculopathy, provocative CT discography was performed in 2 cases.Results. Perianular enhancement associated with anular tears revealed thick linear patterns (2.5-7 mm thickness) along margins of anular tears on contrast enhanced axial T1-weighted images with fat suppression. Locations of perianular enhancement adjacent to anular tears were at foraminal (n = 6) and extraforaminal portions (n = 6). CT discography showed a leak of contrast from anular tear to the perianular regions. Pain reproduction at contrast leak level during discography showed concordant pain. There was an apparent correlation between perianular enhancement on MRI and clinical symptoms or provocative epidural nerve root injection in all cases.Conclusion. The perianular enhancement adjacent to anular tears on MRI may be relevant in the diagnosis of symptomatic chemical radiculitis.(C) 2008 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.

Practice Parameter: The diagnostic evaluation and treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (an evidence-based review) : Report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology and the European Federation of Neurological Societies.Neurology. 71(15):1183-1190, October 7, 2008. Abstract Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a common cause of facial pain.Purpose: To answer the following questions: 1) In patients with TN, how often does routine neuroimaging (CT, MRI) identify a cause? 2) Which features identify patients at increased risk for symptomatic TN (STN; i.e., a structural cause such as a tumor)? 3) Does high-resolution MRI accurately identify patients with neurovascular compression? 4) Which drugs effectively treat classic and symptomatic trigeminal neuralgia? 5) When should surgery be offered? 6) Which surgical technique gives the longest pain-free period with the fewest complications and good quality of life?Methods: Systematic review of the literature by a panel of experts.Conclusions: In patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN), routine head imaging identifies structural causes in up to 15% of patients and may be considered useful (Level C). Trigeminal sensory deficits, bilateral involvement of the trigeminal nerve, and abnormal trigeminal reflexes are associated with an increased risk of symptomatic TN (STN) and should be considered useful in distinguishing STN from classic trigeminal neuralgia (Level B). There is insufficient evidence to support or refute the usefulness of MRI to identify neurovascular compression of the trigeminal nerve (Level U). Carbamazepine (Level A) or oxcarbazepine (Level B) should be offered for pain control while baclofen and lamotrigine (Level C) may be considered useful. For patients with TN refractory to medical therapy, Gasserian ganglion percutaneous techniques, gamma knife, and microvascular decompression may be considered (Level C). The role of surgery vs pharmacotherapy in the management of TN in patients with MS remains uncertain.

Distinct muscle imaging patterns in myofibrillar myopathies
Neurology. 71(10):758-765, September 2, 2008.
Abstract Objective: To compare muscle imaging findings in different subtypes of myofibrillar myopathies (MFM) in order to identify characteristic patterns of muscle alterations that may be helpful to separate these genetic heterogeneous muscular disorders.Methods: Muscle imaging and clinical findings of 46 patients with MFM were evaluated (19 desminopathy, 12 myotilinopathy, 11 filaminopathy, 1 [alpha]B-crystallinopathy, and 3 ZASPopathy). The data were collected retrospectively in 43 patients and prospectively in 3 patients.Results: In patients with desminopathy, the semitendinosus was at least equally affected as the biceps femoris, and the peroneal muscles were never less involved than the tibialis anterior (sensitivity of these imaging criteria to detect desminopathy in our cohort 100%, specificity 95%). In most of the patients with myotilinopathy, the adductor magnus showed more alterations than the gracilis muscle, and the sartorius was at least equally affected as the semitendinosus (sensitivity 90%, specificity 93%). In filaminopathy, the biceps femoris and semitendinosus were at least equally affected as the sartorius muscle, and the medial gastrocnemius was more affected than the lateral gastrocnemius. The semimembranosus mostly showed more alterations than the adductor magnus (sensitivity 88%, specificity 96%). Early adult onset and cardiac involvement was most often associated with desminopathy. In patients with filaminopathy, muscle weakness typically beginning in the 5th decade of life was mostly pronounced proximally, while late adult onset (>50 years) with distal weakness was more often present in myotilinopathy.Conclusions: Muscle imaging in combination with clinical data may be helpful for separation of distinct myofibrillar myopathy subtypes and in scheduling of genetic analysis.

MRI correlates of neurofibrillary tangle pathology at autopsy: A voxel-based morphometry study
Neurology. 71(10):743-749, September 2, 2008. Abstract Background: Neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), composed of hyperphosphorylated tau proteins, are one of the pathologic hallmarks of Alzheimer disease (AD). We aimed to determine whether patterns of gray matter atrophy from antemortem MRI correlate with Braak staging of NFT pathology.Methods: Eighty-three subjects with Braak stage III through VI, a pathologic diagnosis of low- to high-probability AD, and MRI within 4 years of death were identified. Voxel-based morphometry assessed gray matter atrophy in each Braak stage compared with 20 pathologic control subjects (Braak stages 0 through II).Results: In pairwise comparisons with Braak stages 0 through II, a graded response was observed across Braak stages V and VI, with more severe and widespread loss identified at Braak stage VI. No regions of loss were identified in Braak stage III or IV compared with Braak stages 0 through II. The lack of findings in Braak stages III and IV could be because Braak stage is based on the presence of any NFT pathology regardless of severity. Actual NFT burden may vary by Braak stage. Therefore, tau burden was assessed in subjects with Braak stages 0 through IV. Those with high tau burden showed greater gray matter loss in medial and lateral temporal lobes than those with low tau burden.Conclusions: Patterns of gray matter loss are associated with neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) pathology, specifically with NFT burden at Braak stages III and IV and with Braak stage itself at higher stages. This validates three-dimensional patterns of atrophy on MRI as an approximate in vivo surrogate indicator of the full brain topographic representation of the neurodegenerative aspect of Alzheimer disease pathology.

The MRA-DWI Mismatch Identifies Patients With Stroke Who Are Likely to Benefit From Reperfusion
Stroke. 39(9):2491-2496, September 2008.
Abstract
Background and Purpose-: The aim of this exploratory analysis was to evaluate if a combination of MR angiography (MRA) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) selection criteria can be used to identify patients with acute stroke who are likely to benefit from early reperfusion.Methods-: Data from DEFUSE, a study of 74 patients with stroke who received intravenous tissue plasminogen activator in the 3- to 6-hour time window and underwent MRIs before and approximately 4 hours after treatment were analyzed. The MRA-DWI mismatch model was defined as (1) a DWI lesion volume less than 25 mL in patients with a proximal vessel occlusion; or (2) a DWI lesion volume less than 15 mL in patients with proximal vessel stenosis or an abnormal finding of a distal vessel. Favorable clinical response was defined as an improvement on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score of at least 8 points between baseline and 30 days or a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score <=1 at 30 days.Results-: Twenty-seven of 62 patients (44%) had an MRA-DWI mismatch. There was a differential response to early reperfusion based on MRA-DWI mismatch status. Reperfusion was associated with an increased rate of a favorable clinical response in patients with an MRA-DWI mismatch (OR, 12.5; 95% CI, 1.8 to 83.9) and a lower rate in patients without mismatch (OR, 0.2; 95% CI, 0.0 to 0.8).Conclusions-: The MRA-DWI mismatch model appears to identify patients with stroke who are likely to benefit from reperfusion therapy administered in the 3- to 6-hour time window after symptom onset. The criteria established for the MRA-DWI mismatch model in this study require validation in an independent cohort.

Extent of Hypoattenuation on CT Angiography Source Images Predicts Functional Outcome in Patients With Basilar Artery Occlusion
Stroke. 39(9):2485-2490, September 2008.
Abstract
Background and Purpose-: Quantification of early ischemic changes (EIC) may predict functional outcome in patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO). We tested the validity of a novel CT score, the posterior circulation Acute Stroke Prognosis Early CT score (pc-ASPECTS).Methods-: Pc-ASPECTS allots the posterior circulation 10 points. Two points each are subtracted for EIC in midbrain or pons and 1 point each for EIC in left or right thalamus, cerebellum or PCA-territory, respectively. We studied 2 different populations: (1) patients with suspected vertebrobasilar ischemia and (2) patients with BAO. We applied pc-ASPECTS to noncontrast CT (NCCT), CT angiography source images (CTASI), and follow-up image by 3-reader consensus. We calculated sensitivity for ischemic changes and analyzed the predictivity of pc-ASPECTS for independent (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score <=2) and favorable (mRS score <=3) outcome.Results-: Of 130 patients with suspected vertebrobasilar ischemia, 72% (94) had posterior circulation stroke, 8% (10) transient ischemic attack, and 20% (26) nonischemic etiology. Sensitivity for ischemic changes was improved with CTASI compared to NCCT (65% [95% CI, 57% to 73%] versus 46% [95% CI, 37% to 55%], respectively). Pc-ASPECTS score on CTASI but not NCCT predicted functional independence (OR 1.58; P=0.005 versus 1.22; P=0.42, respectively). Of 46 patients with BAO, 52% (12/23) with CTASI pc-ASPECTS score >=8 but only 4% (1/23) with a score <8>
