High-signal cortical lesions are observed on T1-weighted images in cases of brain infarct. Histological examination has demonstrated these to be ?cortical laminar necrosis?, without haemorrhage or calcification. We report serial MRI in this condition in 12 patients with brain infarcts. We looked at high-signal lesions on T1-weighted images, chronological changes in signal intensity and contrast enhancement. High-signal cortical lesions began to appear about 2 weeks after the ictus, were prominent at 1-2 months, then became less evident, but occasionally remained for up to 1.5 years. They gave high signal or were iso-intense on T2-weighted images and did not give low signal at any stage. Contrast enhancement of these lesions was prominent at 1-2 months, and less apparent from 3 months, but was seen up to 5 months. |
