Abstract
Subacute cortical infarct: the value of contrast-enhanced FLAIR images in inconclusive DWI.
Highlights
The definitive treatment for MD is surgery, which is always indicated in symptomatic patients
The patient was submitted to brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences, susceptibility weighted imaging, and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), as well as T1weighted imaging (T1WI), before and after intravenous gadolinium administration, in the axial, sagittal, and coronal planes
Infarcts show parenchymal enhancement, due to breakdown of the bloodbrain barrier(7). New imaging techniques, such as DWI and perfusionweighted imaging, have increased the accuracy of the diagnosis of acute cerebral ischemia, there are some cases in which it cannot be distinguished from other entities(8,9)
Summary
The definitive treatment for MD is surgery, which is always indicated in symptomatic patients. The data presented here underscore the importance of diagnostic suspicion for the identification of Meckel’s diverticulitis. Case 86: Meckel diverticulum with massive bleeding. Bleeding Meckel’s diverticulum in infancy: unusual scintigraphic and ultrasound appearances.
