AI Article Synopsis
- The brain scans of eight infants with exanthema subitum showed mixed results, with three scans appearing normal.
- Two infants had potential vascular issues, while three exhibited symmetric thalamic lesions and possible brain swelling.
- Additionally, 13 previously documented cases from Japan also displayed brain swelling or localized brain damage, indicating that the brain lesions associated with exanthema subitum may develop through different mechanisms.
Article Abstract
The neuroradiologic findings of the brain lesions in eight infants with exanthema subitum were normal in three, suspected vascular lesions in two, and symmetric thalamic lesions with or without diffuse brain edema in the other three. In addition, diffuse brain edema or focal cerebral lesions were observed in 13 previously reported Japanese infants. These findings suggest that the pathogeneses of the brain lesions related to exanthema subitum are variable.
