We report the initial and follow-up brain findings in a 42-year-old male patient with CNS involvement with African trypansomiasis. Initial MR imaging demonstrated diffuse hyperintensity in the basal ganglia bilaterally as well as involvement of the internal capsule, external capsule, and extreme capsule. Follow-up examination at 1 year revealed decreased signal intensity in the previously affected areas; however, ventricular enlargement indicative of atrophy was readily apparent.
我们报告了一名42岁男性中枢神经系统受累的非洲锥虫病患者的初始及随访脑部检查结果。初始磁共振成像显示双侧基底节区弥漫性高信号,以及内囊、外囊和最外囊受累。1年后的随访检查显示先前受累区域信号强度降低;然而,脑室扩大提示萎缩很明显。
