Brain MR in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome AJNR 18:1265-1269, Greco,A.,et al, 1997 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract MR findings were abnormal in 13(32%)of the patients in the study group (ages 34 to 78 years)and in 12(28%)of the control subjects ages 26 to 73 years).One patient with CFS had multiple areas of demyelination the supratentorial periventricular white matter.Another patient with CFS and associated depression had a single focus of probable demyelination in the supratentorial periventricular white matter.In four patients with CFS(ages 34 to 48 years)MR abnormalities consisted of one or several punctuate hyperintense foci in the corona radiata,centrum ovale,and frontal white matter.The remaining seven patients(ages 50 to 78 years)had frontoparietal subcortical white matter foci of high T2 signal.The prevalence of white matter hyperintensities was not different between the patients and the control subjects.Our findings suggest that n MR pattern of white matter abnormalities is specific to CFS.
