Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation of Cerebral Cavernous Malformations With Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging

Abstract: SWI is more sensitive than T2*GRE in detecting CCM in multifocal/familial CCMs. Among cases classified as solitary/clustered with conventional imaging, including those associated with venous anomaly, the SWI did not impart additional sensitivity or reveal occult lesions not evident on T2*GRE sequence. No case was changed from the solitary/clustered to the multifocal clinical category because of SWI.

“…As per currently accepted disease categorization [2,18,19], cases were classified as sporadic if they harbored a solitary lesion on the most sensitive susceptibilityweighted imaging (SWI) MRI sequences, or a cluster of lesions associated with a developmental venous anomaly. They were classified as familial if they harbored multifocal CCM lesions, a family history of CCM in a first degree blood relative, or a mutation genotyped at a CCM gene locus.…”

“…CCM lesions consist of abnormal clusters of enlarged capillary vessels with aberrant angioarchitecture embedded in normal brain or spinal cord tissue found in 0.5-1% of the population [1]. Patients may harbor solitary lesions occurring sporadically and often associated with a developmental venous anomaly [2], or multifocal lesions, typically inherited as autosomal dominant traits at three known gene loci (CCM 1, 2 & 3). While the CCM3 genotype portends more aggressive disease, the clinical behavior of CCM cases, regardless of genotype, remains widely unpredictable [3].…”

“…Her ne kadar kavernomlar ilk tanımlandıklarında nadir lezyonlar olarak kabul edilmiş olsalar da özel-likle MRG'nin geliştirilmesinden sonra nöro-radyolojik incelemelerde gittikçe artan sıklıkta karşılaşılmaya başlanmıştır (1). Özellikle yüksek Tesla'lı cihazlar (3-9.4 T) ve vasküler yapılar ile kanama odaklarını saptamaya duyarlı gradiyent T2 ve Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI) sekanslarının kullanımının yaygınlaşmasıyla saptanabilirliğinin artacağı düşünülmektedir (2,6). Kavernomların literatürde kavernöz anjiom, kavernöz malformasyon, anjografik olarak okkült vasküler malformasyon şeklinde geniş bir aralık-ta isimlendirildiği görülmektedir (1).…”

“…Bizim çalışmamızda takip MRG'leri olan hastalarda GVA'dan gelişen yeni Şekil V: SVH ön tanılı 63 yaşında hasta A) Beyin BT ve B) SPGR MRG'de sağ paryetal lobda içinde kanama ürünlerine ait sıvı-sıvı seviyelenmesi gösteren düzgün konturlu kistik kitle (ok) görülmekte C) Gradient T2A MRG'de lezyon etrafında kesintisiz hemosiderin rim (ok) ve içinde kanama ürünlerine ait sıvı-sıvı seviyelenmesi görülmekte D) Kontrastlı SPGR MRG'de kavernom komşuluğuna uzanan GVA'nın kaputu (oklar) görülmektedir. (2). Aynı zamanda bu sekansın akıma duyarlı olması nedeniyle kavernoma eşlik eden GVA'ların paramanyetik kontrast madde gerektirmeksizin saptanabileceği belirtilmektedir (2).…”
