Targeting the culprit: vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging for evaluating stroke: Seung Min Kim, Sang Hee Ha, Hanim Kwon, Yeon Jung Kim, Sung Ho Ahn, Bum Joon Kim; Ann Clin Neurophysiol 2021;23(1):17-28. Published online April 29, 2021; DOI: https://doi.org/10.14253/acn.2021.23.1.17

The pathogenesis of many strokes originates in the vessel wall. Despite this, most traditional imaging focuses on the vascular lumen. Vessel-wall magnetic resonance imaging (VWMRI) is useful for establishing the etiology of intracranial stenosis. It also provides information regarding atherosclerotic plaque composition and thus plaque vulnerability, which is an indication of its potential to cause a stroke. In this review we focus on the characteristics of VWMRI findings in various arteriopathies related to intracranial artery stenosis, and discuss the clinical implications of these findings.

Painless Aortic Dissection Simulating Guillain-Barré Syndrome: Eun-Jin Oh, Sang-Wuk Jeong, Jong-Kwan Park, Keun-Sik Hong; J Korean Soc Clin Neurophysiol 2005;7(1):49-51.

Abstract

A 61-year-old man with an antecedent febrile illness presented with progressive flaccid paraparesis, but no sensory or sphincter involvement. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine was negative and nerve conduction study (NCS) showed the absence of F-waves in his legs, suggesting Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). However, abdominal pain after admission led to the consideration of the spinal cord ischemia secondary to aortic dissection confirmed by computed tomography. We report the rare condition of painless aortic dissection simulating GBS.
