To describe non-metabolic, non-infectious etiologies of acute toxic leukoencephalopathy (ATL) on DWI MRI, and provide a useful acronym to remember them.
Our PACS archive was reviewed, yielding 185 patients with suspected ATL per MRI reports and clinical follow up; infectious or metabolic causes were excluded.
RESULT/DISCUSSION: The 87 included non-infectious, non-metabolic ATL patients' etiologies are represented by the acronym 'CHOICES': chemotherapy ('C',n = 34); heroin-induced ('H',n = 6), opioid analogues ('O',n = 14); immunosuppressant ('I',n = 11) or imidazole (n = 2); cocaine ('C',n = 1); environmental or ethanol abuse ('E',n = 5), splenial lesions ('S',n = 9), and 'other' (n = 5).
The "CHOICES" acronym delineates various toxic etiologies of ATL.
描述急性中毒性白质脑病(ATL)在扩散加权成像(DWI)磁共振成像(MRI)上的非代谢性、非感染性病因,并提供一个便于记忆的首字母缩写词。
回顾我们的图像存档与通信系统(PACS)档案,根据MRI报告和临床随访结果筛选出185例疑似ATL患者;排除感染性或代谢性病因。
结果/讨论:纳入研究的87例非感染性、非代谢性ATL患者的病因可用首字母缩写词“CHOICES”表示:化疗(“C”,n = 34);海洛因所致(“H”,n = 6),阿片类类似物(“O”,n = 14);免疫抑制剂(“I”,n = 11)或咪唑(n = 2);可卡因(“C”,n = 1);环境因素或乙醇滥用(“E”,n = 5),胼胝体病变(“S”,n = 9),以及“其他”(n = 5)。
“CHOICES”这一首字母缩写词概括了ATL的各种中毒性病因。
