摘要
We report a case of late CNS relapse of Whipple disease without articular or digestive signs. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the brain clearly showed the disappearance of the normal low intensity signal of the aqueduct of Sylvius and the presence of high intensity signals in the frontal white matter and in the caudate nucleus. This case suggests that MR imaging of the brain is the procedure of choice for identifying cerebral involvement in Whipple disease. © 1988 Raven Press, Ltd., New York.
