  • Title: A pattern approach to focal white matter hyperintensities on magnetic resonance imaging.
    Author: Kanekar S, Devgun P.
    Journal: Radiol Clin North Am; 2014 Mar; 52(2):241-61. PubMed ID: 24582339.
    Abstract:
    Evaluation of focal white matter hyperintensities on magnetic resonance imaging in any age group is always challenging because the cause of these hyperintensities varies extensively. Understanding the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, and associated imaging findings can allow the radiologist to limit the differential diagnosis. A specific imaging approach including age, pattern of distribution, signal characteristics on various sequences, enhancement pattern, and other ancillary findings helps to identify a correct cause for these hyperintensities. This article provides a pattern approach to differentiate various common and a few uncommon diseases presenting as focal white matter hyperintensities.
