MR findings of a patient with hemolytic uremic syndrome involving the CNS are described. Abnormal high signal intensity on T2-weighted images combined with swelling in the lentiform nucleus, posterior limb of internal capsule, external capsule bilaterally, and left extreme capsule was shown on initial MR; a small low signal intensity in the left putamen on T1- and T2-weighted images and generalized atrophy in the area of high signal intensity on previous T2-weighted images was shown on follow-up MR. These findings indicate infarct with focal hemorrhage, which is one of the histopathological features of CNS complication in hemolytic uremic syndrome.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D002544 Cerebral Infarction The formation of an area of NECROSIS in the CEREBRUM caused by an insufficiency of arterial or venous blood flow. Infarcts of the cerebrum are generally classified by hemisphere (i.e., left vs. right), lobe (e.g., frontal lobe infarction), arterial distribution (e.g., INFARCTION, ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY), and etiology (e.g., embolic infarction).
