Whipple Disease Confined to the Central Nervous System in Childhood AJNR 17:1589-1591, Duprez,T.P.J.,et al, 1996 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract In a case of pediatric Whipple disease confined to the central nervous system,white matter lesions initially appeared as areas of very low signal intensity on T1-weighted MR images and as areas of hyperintensity on proton density-weighted and T2-weighted images,and showed slight peripheral enhancement on delayed contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images.On MRi studies obtained 3 and 6 months after antibiotic therapy,the lesions had decreased in size and no longer enhanced.They became progressively less hypointense on T1-weighted images and less hyperintense on T2- weighted images.
