| Popis: |
Perivascular spaces (PVSs) are small extensions of the subpial cerebrospinal space, pial-lined and interstitial fluid-filled. They surround small penetrating arteries, and veins, crossing the subarachnoid space to the brain tissue. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) shows a PVS as a round-shape or linear structure, isointense to the cerebrospinal fluid, and, if larger than 1.5 cm, they are known as giant/tumefactive PVSs (GTPVS) that may compress neighboring parenchymal/liquoral compartment. We report a rare asymptomatic case of GTPVS type 1 in a diabetic middle-aged patient, occasionally discovered. Our MRI study focuses on diffusion/tractography and fusion imaging: three-dimensional (3D) constructive interference in steady state (CISS) and time of fly (TOF) sequences. The advanced and fusion MR techniques help us to track brain fiber to assess brain tissue compression consequences and some PVS anatomic features as the perforating arteries inside them. |
