AI Article Synopsis
- The case discusses hemimegalencephaly diagnosed through prenatal MRI, highlighting its characteristics on diffusion-weighted images.
- It notes that the enlarged hemisphere in hemimegalencephaly may exhibit restricted diffusion, suggesting possible underlying factors like increased cellularity and advanced myelination.
- The authors conclude that restricted diffusion can serve as a valuable indicator for assessing the fetal brain during prenatal MRI evaluations.
Article Abstract
We report a case of hemimegalencephaly diagnosed by prenatal MRI with an emphasis on its appearance on diffusion-weighted images. This case shows that in this condition the enlarged hemisphere may show restricted diffusion on prenatal MRI. In our opinion, this finding may result from a combination of increased cellularity and advanced myelination in the affected hemisphere. Restricted diffusion is an additional valuable indicator in the analysis of the fetal brain.
