Article Abstract

We present a patient with Todd's paresis who had undergone lung biopsy and who manifested increased signal intensity in the subarachnoid space of the right cerebral hemisphere on 10-h delayed enhanced fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images. We think that this was attributable to gadolinium leakage into the CSF due to increased leptomeningeal microvascular permeability in this patient with Todd's paresis.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in the elderly, clinically characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral disturbances. Its pathogenesis is not fully comprehended but involves intracellular depositions of amyloid beta peptide (Aβ) and neurofibrillary tangles of hyperphosphorylated tau. Currently, pharmacological interventions solely slow the progression of symptoms.
