We discuss a case where the brain metastases in a patient with prostate cancer do not show a clear contrast-enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging using a standard brain metastases protocol. It also emphasizes the usefulness of delayed imaging in identifying blood-brain barrier damage. We present the case of a 69-year-old man diagnosed with prostate adenocarcinoma, currently in castration-resistant phase (last value of serum prostate-specific antigen: 45.1 ng/mL) with bone, mediastinal and inguinal lymph nodes, pulmonary, and hepatic metastases. In a contrast-enhanced whole-body computed tomography examination, the appearance of intra-axial brain lesions suspicious for metastases was documented. The subsequent contrast-enhanced brain magnetic resonance imaging showed the presence of 5 intra-axial lesions consistent with brain metastases. These lesions exhibited hyperintense signals in T2-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images; after contrast agent administration, a ring-like contrast-enhancement was more clearly visible in T1-weighted images acquired later (about 15 minutes after contrast agent administration) than in those acquired earlier (about 5-7 minutes after contrast agent administration). In conclusion, for oncological subjects with multiple brain lesions lacking obvious contrast-enhancement using a standard magnetic resonance imaging protocol, we suggest acquiring late images. These might allow for the detection of even minimal post-contrast impregnation, improving confidence in the diagnosis of brain metastases.</p>","PeriodicalId":46355,"journal":{"name":"Neurohospitalist","volume":" ","pages":"19418744241303538"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11590085/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142740930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This case highlights the acute onset of VP following a stroke, contributing to the understanding of VP's varied presentations and the challenges in its diagnosis. A 54-year-old male with a history of cerebrovascular disease presented with behavioral changes and reduced activity, initially raising the suspicion of a central nervous system infection. Clinical findings included agitation, decreased social interaction, mutism, drooling, immobility, and rigidity. Imaging revealed acute infarction in the left cortical parieto-occipital region, caudate nucleus, and putamen, along with old infarcts, confirming VP. The primary diagnosis was vascular parkinsonism and he was started on anticoagulation therapy and levodopa/carbidopa, which showed minimal improvement over 6 months. This case underscores the importance of considering VP in patients with acute parkinsonian symptoms and a history of cerebrovascular disease. It highlights the necessity for prompt evaluation and management of vascular risk factors to optimize patient outcomes.
