“…[6] MS plaques mostly occur in the body of the CC, as suggested by some studies. [21][22][23][24][25] Diffuse atrophy of the CC is believed to be a part of general cerebral atrophy in long standing cases or it can be caused by wallerian degeneration and loss of axons within the CC. [26] According to the study by Chen et al, [6] MRI findings can have a big role in discrimination between MS and other demyelinating disorders, in particular MS and Neuromyelitis optica.…”

“…Micro-infarctions in SS have two specific patterns on MRI: "snowball lesions", in central parts of CC, and "string of pearls", which is commonly seen in internal capsule. [22,66] Raets et al [67] showed that the combination of typical central callosal lesions with string of pearls is pathognomonic for SS. Encephalopathic SS always involves CC.…”

Corpus callosum (CC) is the largest white matter structure in the brain, consisting of 200-250 million contralateral axonal projections. It is the major commissural pathway connecting the hemispheres of human brain. The pathology of CC includes wide variety of entities that arise from different causes such as congenital, inflammatory, tumoral, degenerative, infectious, etc. This study reviews the most reliable neuroimaging data of human CC in central nervous system (CNS) demyelinating diseases to facilitate the understanding of different pathological entities of the CC and their role in anticipation of probable prognostic findings. After a brief description of normal anatomy and functions of CC, this review examines the most valuable findings obtained using conventional and functional magnetic resonance imaging. It also demonstrates the most well organized findings of how CC features influence prognostic factors of demyelinating disorders, which could have a great value for choosing proper therapy methods. The authors also provided a brief review of other demyelinating disorders which are primarily caused by other pathological factors other than autoimmunity. As a conclusion, the authors showed the importance of CC as an critical part of the brain, which should be explored by different methods of imaging, correspondent to clinical evaluation of CNS demyelinating disorder to widen our knowledge on pathology and clinical patterns of such disorders.

As vasculites sistêmicas compreendem um grupo de doenças inflamatórias que afetam os vasos sanguíneos com consequências graves, incluindo isquemia tecidual, anomalias estruturais, como aneurismas e dissecções e lesões orgânicas. As diferentes formas são normalmente classificadas de acordo com o tamanho do vaso. Nesta revisão são discutidas outras formas de vasculites sistêmicas, raras, como as vasculites associadas ao ANCA por droga, Cogan, Susac e primária do sistema nervoso central. Unitermos: vasculite associada ao ANCA por droga; Cogan; Susac; vasculite primária do SNC.
