A 29-year-old man with advanced carcinoma of the esophagus. On day 4 of 5-FU infusion the patient developed confusion and aphasia without motor weakness.29岁男性,进展性食道癌患者。5-FU治疗第4天出现意识不清、失语,肌力正常。
Initial study, axial T2WI (A) demonstrates diffuse abnormal increased T2-weighted signal involving the deep and subcortical white matter, sparing the U-fibers, associated with abnormal restricted diffusion on DWI. In the follow-up study, following discontinuation of 5-FU, there is complete resolution of the previously noted signal abnormalities (B).
起病初期,横断位T2WI示深部白质及皮层下白质弥漫性高信号,U形纤维不受累,DWI示病变弥散受限。停止使用5-FU后复查,原病灶完全消失。
Acute Toxic Leukoencephalopathy急性毒性白质脑病
Clinical PresentationAcute toxic leukoencephalopathy is a rare complication of chemotherapy, and has been described for various agents such as methotrexate, 5-FU, fludarabine, tacrolimus, and cyclosporine. The more common neuropathologic findings include gliosis, macrophage infiltrate, and demyelinization of white matter.急性毒性白质脑病是一种罕见的化疗并发症,既往报道很多药物可引起该病,如甲氨蝶呤、5-FU、氟达拉滨、他克莫司、环孢霉素。最常见的神经病理改变包括神经胶质增生、巨噬细胞浸润、脑白质脱髓鞘。
Change in mental status, seizures, nistagmus, and less frequently, focal neurological deficits。常见精神异常、癫痫、眼球震颤(?)局灶性神经功能缺陷较为少见。
注:原文中为nistagmus,眼球震颤是nystagmus。通用?原文错别字?
Diffuse bilateral symmetrical areas of diffusion restriction in subcortical and deep white matter and corpus callosum. There is sparing of cortex and the U-fibers white matter as well as basal ganglia. Following discontinuation of therapy, reversal of findings may occur.双侧深部白质、皮层下白质及胼胝体弥漫性、对称性弥散受限(DWI高信号),大脑皮层、U形纤维及基底节区不受累。停药后,病灶可恢复。
PRES: Signal abnormalities are more commonly posterior, in watershed areas and involve also the cortex and U fibers. ADC values are positive in DWI ("vasogenic" edema)PRES(可逆性后部脑病综合征):一般病变位置靠后,多位于分水岭区,皮层及U形纤维可受累。DWI示弥散受限,ADC图呈高信号
Encephalitis: More commonly asymmetric with cortical involvement脑炎:病变为非对称性,多累及皮层。 Radiation-induced leukoencephalopathy: Clinical history is the key as they have the same pathological findings and can be indistinguishable on imaging alone辐射诱导白质脑病:两者病理表现相同。单纯依靠影像无法鉴别,临床病史是诊断的关键。 Drug abuse (toluene, ethanol, cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin) and toxic agents (carbon monoxide, arsenic, and CCl)药物依赖(如甲苯、乙醇、可卡因、甲基苯丙胺、海洛因)和毒性物质(一氧化碳、砷、CCl)
Discontinuation of treatment停药
