We present the appearance of brain capillary telangiectasia on 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) perfusion.A 42-year-old female presented with intermittent left arm weakness and paresthesia.
Initial 1.5T MRI obtained 2 months after presentation demonstrated a 6 mm right caudate head lesion with ring-like click here enhancement, and no significant surrounding edema or mass effect.On gradient echo there was mild associated susceptibility artifact.
Follow-up 3.0T MRI demonstrated increased blooming on 3.0T imaging relative to prior 1.
5T imaging.The lesion also demonstrated increased blood volume on dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion.Given these imaging findings and interval stability, a definitive imaging diagnosis of here capillary telangiectasia was made.
Recognition of the MRI findings of capillary telangiectasia is imperative to avoid misdiagnosis and prevent unnecessary intervention.
