MRI Appearances in Multi-Faceted Spectrum of Encephalopathy
Dr. Shubham Gaba, Dr. Sarfaraz Shaikh
Abstract: Encephalopathy represents a complex array of neurological disorders with diverse etiologies and clinical presentations. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays a pivotal role in characterizing the spectrum of structural and functional abnormalities associated with encephalopathy. This review aims to provide a concise overview of the diverse MRI appearances encountered in encephalopathy, spanning from subtle to profound changes in brain morphology, signal intensity, and perfusion patterns. We outline the key imaging findings observed across various etiologies, including metabolic, infectious, toxic, and inflammatory causes. Understanding the multi-faceted MRI spectrum in encephalopathy is essential for accurate diagnosis, prognostication, and guiding appropriate management strategies.
