AI Article Synopsis
- The text aims to highlight MRI findings for common inflammatory and immune-related diseases affecting the brainstem.
- It notes that brainstem inflammatory lesions can stem from a variety of causes, including autoimmune diseases, infections, and paraneoplastic syndromes, complicating diagnosis.
- Understanding these diseases, their symptoms, and how they appear on MRI (like lesion count and shape) is crucial for accurate radiological assessment.
Article Abstract
Objective: To describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings for the most common inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases that involve the brainstem.
Conclusion: Inflammatory lesions involving the brainstem are associated with a wide range of autoimmune, infectious, and paraneoplastic syndromes, making the differential diagnosis complex. Being familiar with these entities, their clinical characteristics, and their manifestations on MRI, especially the number of lesions, their shape and extension, and their appearance in different sequences, is useful for orienting the radiological diagnosis.
