3 Outline Indications for imaging CNS infections Extra axial Parenchymal Vascular complications
4 Indications for Imaging Suspected infection and: Altered mental status Seizures Focal neurologic deficits Immunocompromised patient with: New headache Any concerning sign
5 Imaging strategy Non contrast head CT first choice Rapid and widely available Well tolerated by critically ill patients Exclude life threatening conditions Contrast enhanced MR More sensitive for subtle findings - Leptomeningitis - Ventriculitis - Empyema - Infarction Consider strongly for immunocompromised patients Can be problematic in sick patients Contrast enhanced head CT if: MR not immediately available Contraindications to MR
6 Imaging before LP? Noncontrast CT can exclude contraindications CT more likely to show a contraindication in patient with (suspected meningitis) and: Age 60 Immunocompromise Recent seizure Focal neurological deficit Impaired consciousness Hasbun 2001 N Engl J Med 345:24,
7 Not safe to LP Cerebral edema: Poor gray-white differentiation Effaced sulci Effaced cisterns
8 Contraindications to LP No absolute consensus on imaging contraindications. General agreement on the following: Midline shift Effacement of the basal cisterns Posterior fossa mass effect. Clinical signs of herniation even with normal imaging.
9 Cautionary tale 4 PM, comatose 8 PM, after LP
10 Extraaxial
11 8 year old boy, sick one week
12 8 year old boy, sick one week Acute bacterial meningitis Post contrast
13 Imaging in meningitis CSF evaluation is diagnostic Goal of imaging: 1) Exclude unexpected finding 2) Evaluate for complications: - Infarction - Hydrocephalus - Ventriculitis - Subdural effusions (kids), empyema - Venous sinus thrombosis
14 Meningitis: Imaging Imaging Findings: NORMAL Especially early Leptomeningeal enhancement Hemispheric Basilar Subdural effusions (especially children) Ddx leptomeningeal enhancement: Leptomeningeal spread of tumor Neurosarcoidosis CNS lymphoma
15 MRI: index case DWI/ADC T1 FLAIR
16 Meningitis: MRI Imaging Findings: FLAIR: high signal in subarachnoid space due to elevated protein May see arterial narrowing due to infectious arteritis with or without infarction Ddx: Subarachnoid FLAIR hyperintensities: Subarachnoid hemorrhage High inspired O2 Motion artifact Altered perfusion/blood brain barrier disruption Leakage of gad (renal failure, eg)
