Brain calcifications and perilesional edema

Descripción del Articulo

Brain calcifications, most frequently due to residual cysticercosis, are very common in developing countries. Recent reports have shown that residual brain lesions may be enhanced after contrast and present edema after an episode of neurological symptoms. We report three cases showing this phenomenon...

Recientemente se ha reportado que aún las lesiones calcificadas residuales pueden presentar captación de contraste y edema, detectables al tiempo de una manifestación neurológica. Presentamos tres casos que demuestran como este fenómeno puede innecesariamente complicar el diagnósltico, incrementando el tiempo de hospitalización y en algunas veces hasta practicar procedimientos invasivos para confirmar el diagnóstico. Las calcificaciones con edema perilesional deben ser consideradas en el diagnóstico diferencial de las lesiones granulomas intracerebrales.Colegio Médico del Perú2007-03-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://amp.cmp.org.pe/index.php/AMP/article/view/1230ACTA MEDICA PERUANA; Vol. 24 No. 1 (2007); 31 - 33ACTA MEDICA PERUANA; Vol. 24 Núm. 1 (2007); 31 - 331728-59171018-8800reponame:Acta Médica Peruanainstname:Colegio Médico del Perúinstacron:CMPspahttps://amp.cmp.org.pe/index.php/AMP/article/view/1230/705Copyright (c) 2020 ACTA MEDICA PERUANAinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:amp.cmp.org.pe:article/12302023-07-06T06:03:16Z

description Brain calcifications, most frequently due to residual cysticercosis, are very common in developing countries. Recent reports have shown that residual brain lesions may be enhanced after contrast and present edema after an episode of neurological symptoms. We report three cases showing this phenomenon and how it can complicate the diagnosis, increasing hospital stay, and sometimes requiring invasive diagnostic procedures. Calcifications with surrounding edema must be considered in the differential diagnosis of enhancing brain lesions.
