Article Synopsis
- The study examines the specificity of periventricular lesions (PVL) on MRI scans in identifying multiple sclerosis (MS) amidst similar neurological conditions, particularly migraine and stroke.
- Results show a significant increase in PVL location and volume in patients with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) compared to those with migraine, especially by certain ventricles.
- However, PVL near the anterior and temporal horns of the ventricles do not distinctly indicate RRMS compared to migraine and are also similar in patients with ischemic stroke, suggesting limitations in using PVL for MS diagnosis.
Background: Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease with neurologic involvement in approximately 5% of cases. Ischemic events related to neurosarcoid vasculitis are rare. We report the successful treatment of symptomatic neurosarcoid vasculitis with angioplasty.
