Clinical diagnostic utility of contrast-enhanced three-dimensional fluid-attenuated inversion recovery for selection of brain biopsy sites in neurosarcoidosis: A case report
چکیده انگلیسی
Neurosarcoidosis is difficult to diagnose, because definite diagnosis requires detailed histology of the central nervous system. Three-dimensional contrast-enhanced fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (CE-FLAIR) is more useful for detecting leptomeningeal lesions compared with 3D CE-T1 weighted imaging. However, the clinical diagnostic utility of 3D CE-FLAIR for neurosarcoidosis is unclear. We describe a case of a 46-year-old Japanese woman who was admitted to our department due to chronic headache with fever and diplopia. Using 3D CE-FLAIR, we performed brain biopsy from right cerebellar lesion. The histological examination revealed typical non-caseating granulomas, indicating neurosarcoidosis. Our findings suggest that 3D CE-FLAIR may detect leptomeningeal lesions that are candidates for biopsy in chronic meningitis undetermined etiology.
