Unusual Brain MRI Pattern in 2 Patients with COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol

From the Department of Radiology (S.T.-M., N.B., A.L., S.G., M.Z., J.H.).

Published: December 2020

We report the cases of 2 patients hospitalized in our intensive care unit with confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 infection in whom brain MR imaging showed an unusual DWI pattern with nodular and ring-shaped lesions involving the periventricular and deep white matter. We discuss the possible reasons for these findings and their relationship to the infection.

Limb disorders and slurred speech are common clinical symptoms associated with acute ischemic stroke. Although urinary incontinence is a known symptom in many cases of acute ischemic stroke, the simultaneous impairment of both bowel and bladder function is relatively rare. The occurrence of fecal and urinary incontinence as the primary clinical manifestation in minor acute ischemic stroke is especially uncommon.

Cerebrovascular thrombosis is among the most critical medical conditions, making early diagnosis and management crucial. Although some symptoms of cerebrovascular thrombosis are typical and lead to early diagnosis, they can sometimes present with rare and unusual symptoms, complicating the diagnostic process. Given the morbidity and mortality associated with these events, it is important to be aware of unexpected symptoms to diagnose and manage these patients more accurately and rapidly.

Bank voles are susceptible to prion strains from many different species, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying the ability of bank vole prion protein (BVPrP) to function as a universal prion acceptor remain unclear. Potential differences in molecular environments and protein interaction networks on the cell surface of brain cells may contribute to BVPrP's unusual behavior. To test this hypothesis, we generated knock-in mice that express physiological levels of BVPrP (M109 isoform) and employed mass spectrometry to compare the interactomes of mouse (Mo) PrP and BVPrP following mild in vivo crosslinking of brain tissue.

Wilson's disease is a metabolic disorder affecting the liver, brain, skin and osteo-muscular organs. Refractory rickets is an unusual phenomenon in Wilson's disease. This 27-year-old man was primarily treated for rickets for 20 years without success and later developed features of tremulousness of limbs and dysphonia when he was evaluated for Wilson's disease.
