A 62-year-old man, previously treated for oral cavity carcinoma, presented with new-onset cognitive-motor symptoms. Brain MRI revealed a periventricular, avidly enhancing lesion in the right anterior basal ganglia and hypothalamus suspicious for a brain tumor, particularly CNS lymphoma. 18F-FDG brain PET/CT showed corresponding uptake suggestive of primary brain tumor, lymphoma, or metastasis.

Article Synopsis
- Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a progressive condition in the elderly that leads to brain bleeding and cognitive issues, often mistaken for other diseases like Alzheimer's.
- Amyloid-β-related angiitis (ABRA) is a severe form of vasculitis linked to CAA that can be fatal without treatment, making early diagnosis critical, as common treatments for other conditions may worsen CAA.
- A case study showed that high-field 7T MR imaging can reveal subtle brain hemorrhages not seen in lower-field imaging, highlighting its potential to improve early diagnosis of CAA and ABRA.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of a specific nonenhancing hypointensity in the pituitary gland observed through high-resolution 7T MRI, alongside assessing other incidental pituitary lesions and imaging artifacts.
- - Out of 100 patients analyzed, 66% exhibited the cleftlike hypointensity, with follow-up MRIs confirming its presence in 100% of cases observed on 7T scans, while various types of pituitary masses were found in 22% of the patients.
- - The investigation revealed no significant differences in age or sex between patients with and without the cleftlike hypointensity, and noted that artifact-free scans were more common in the group with the cleftlike finding.
