Basal Ganglia T1 Hyperintensity in Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia

Basal Ganglia T1 Hyperintensity in Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia ORIGINAL RESEARCH ADULT BRAIN Basal Ganglia T1 Hyperintensity in Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia X A. Parvinian, X V.N. Iyer, X B.S. Pannu, X D.R. Apala, X C.P. Wood, and X W.

This study was performed to assess the prevalence of this imaging finding in a large cohort of patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia and to identify any association between this phenomenon and other disease manifestations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective study, we identified all patients at our institution diagnosed with definite hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia from 2001 to 2017. Patients who did not undergo brain MR imaging were excluded. Patient demographics, laboratory results, and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia disease characteristics were noted.
