Subretinal abscess causing restricted diffusion on magnetic resonance imaging.

摘要: BACKGROUND Restricted diffusion of water molecules on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging most commonly associated with acute stroke, has also been described in brain abscess. It reported only one case sub-retinal METHODS Review two cases. RESULTS Two cases visual loss from subretinal abscess had restricted the region In first case, DWI revealed a white mass visible posterior retina. second was present an anterior retinal invisible by ophthalmoscopy and ultrasound. combination cerebrum consistent septic emboli, these abnormalities allowed earlier treatment that either preserved vision or prevented enucleation.
