enter the colon. In the colon, bile salts stimulate water and chloride secretion, resulting in osmotic diarrhea. Short bowel syndrome is a term used to describe symptoms related to dysfunctional terminal ileum (e.g., bloating , diarrhea , fecal urgency , fecal incontinence ), with loss of bile salts in the colon.
5 . Infectious diarrhea : infectious causes like bacteria
( Salmonella , E. coli , Shigella ), viruses ( Rotavirus ), and parasites ( E. histolytica , Giardia , Cryptosporidium ) all cause diarrhea by releasing enterotoxins, which causes in ammatory reaction releasing histamine, nitric oxide, and serotonin.  e diarrhea in infection is a mixture between osmotic ( due to villi destruction ) and secretory ( due to raised cAMP ).
6 . Endocrine diarrhea : many endocrine disorders cause
diarrhea by secreting neurotransmitters such as VIP, serotonin, acetylcholine, substance P, and calcitonin, all of which cause secretory diarrhea. Also, some tumors cause diarrhea via secretion of the same neurotransmitters and hormones, for example, carcinoid tumors ( serotonin ), pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors ( VIP , gastrine ), and medullary thyroid carcinoma ( calcitonin ) .
Sprue
Sprue is a term used to describe diseases characterized patho­logically by  attening, broadening, and coalescence of villi and sometimes complete loss of villi. Moreover, the lamina propria is in ltrated with lymphocytes, plasma cells, and eosinophils.
Sprue can be divided into tropical sprue and nontropical
sprue, also known as celiac disease. Tropical sprue is a geo- graphically localized form of malabsorption ( in some tropical areas ) that is characterized by folic acid de ciency; the dis­ease responses dramatically to folic acid or antibiotics ther­apy. Celiac dis ease , on the other hand, is a disease characterized by autoimmune reaction that causes villi destruction a er ingesting food that contains “gluten,” like wheat, rye, oats, and barley.
Patients with sprue, like other malabsorption syndromes, present with steatorrhea, weight loss, and abdominal disten­sion.  e mucosal abnormalities in sprue tend to be more marked in the jejunum than in the ileum. Patients respond well to gluten-free diet. Celiac disease is seen in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, Down’s syndrome, primary biliary cirrhosis, Sjögren’s syndrome, and dermatitis herpetiformis (100 %).
Ulcerative jejunoileitis is an uncommon complication of celiac disease characterized by multiple benign ulcers of vari­able depth that is found predominantly in the jejunum, occa­sionally in the ileum, and rarely in the colon. Patients o en present with fever, weight loss, abdominal pain, anorexia, and diarrhea.
Serological test to detect celiac disease includes detection of serum gliadin IgA antibodies (95 % sensitive) and endo-
mysial antibodies (95 % sensitive and speci c).  e gold stan­dard test for diagnosis of celiac disease is jejunal biopsy.
Q: What Are the Main Diff erences Between Celiac
z
Disease and Tropical Sprue?
1. Tropical sprue is associated with folic acid de ciency, while celiac disease is associated with gluten-rich diet.
2. Tropical sprue patients respond well to folic acid and antibiotic therapy, while celiac disease patients respond well to gluten-free diet.
3. Both have the same radiological and histological features, so history and clinical background of the patient’s recent travels are essential in di erentiating the two conditions.
Signs on US
1. The signs more frequently recorded in celiac disease include fl uid-distended small bowel loops, thickened valvulae conniventes, and increased small bowel peristalsis; this picture is the equivalent of the well-described reversed jejunoileal fold pattern .
2. There is increased caliber of the superior mesenteric artery in patients with celiac disease ranging from 8 to 11 mm, 2–3 cm distal to the artery origin.
Signs on Barium Follow-Through
1 . Dilatation : there is signifi cant dilatation of the small
bowel loops, usually in the mid- and distal jejunum ( constant fi nding in sprue ).
2 . Segmentation : this term applies to moderately large
masses of separated barium associated with dilated bowel loops. Stringlike strands of barium may be found between the masses representing barium in collapsed bowel loops. Segmentation is best seen in the ileum in advanced cases.
3 . Hypersecretion : this refers to large amount of fl uids
secreted into the intestinal lumen and causes barium dilution, which is seen as barium fl occulation ( mostly a constant fi nding in sprue ).
4 . Transient time abnormalities : transient time is the
time required for the barium to traverse the small intestine and enter the cecum ( average 3 h in adults ). In sprue, the transient time is prolonged (3–5 h) or shortened (<30 min) depending on the disease activity.
5 . Moulage phenomenon : it is a term used to describe
the radiographic appearance of an intestinal lumen with complete destruction of the intestinal folds. The barium-fi lled lumen resembles a tube into which “wax” has been poured and allowed to harden.

Signs on Abdominal CT
1. There may be intussusception , which is detected on axial view as “target sign” with crescent hypodense area inside it representing the mesentery. Enhancing mesenteric vessels within the mass is frequently seen (very characteristic).
2 . Ulcerative jejunoileitis is an uncommon complication
where patients present clinically with abdominal pain, weight loss, fever, and anorexia. There is thickening and ulceration of the jejunal and ileal mucosa.
3 . Cavitating lymph node syndrome is a rare severe
complication of celiac disease characterized clinically by weight loss, anorexia, and diarrhea. Mortality rate is up to 50 % due to sepsis. There is lymphadenopathy (2–7 cm in diameter) with characteristic fat–fl uid level. Diff erential diagnosis includes lymphoma and bacterial infection (
. Fig. 1.8.1 ).
4 . Malignancy is detected on CT as a focal bowel wall
thickening with lumen narrowing. Malignancies associated with celiac disease include lymphoma, adenocarcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.
. Fig. 1.8.2 Axial brain CT illustration that demonstrates the
rare sign of occipital calcifi cation seen in neuro-celiac disease
. Fig. 1.8.1 Axial abdomen CT illustration that demonstrates
the cavitating lymph nodes seen in celiac disease, most commonly aff ecting the retroperitoneal and the mesenteric lymph nodes
Signs on Neurological CT
Celiac disease patients may experience attacks of seizures (1.2–5 % of cases). When neurological manifestations of celiac disease appear, there are commonly bilateral cortico-subcortical occipital calcifi cations without contrast enhancement or brain atrophy (
. Fig. 1.8.2 ).
k Signs of Celiac Disease on MR Enteroclysis
1 . Fold pattern abnormalities : the valvulae conniventes can
appear normal ( most common ), squared end ( rather than
normal round shaped ), reversed jejunal folds ( decreased folds in jejunum and increased in ileum ), and moulage sign
( the absence of valvulae due to total atrophy ).
2 . I n reversed jejunal pattern , jejunal folds are decreased if
the number of folds <3-folds per inch, and ileal folds are increased if the number of folds >5 per inch.
3. Bowel wall thickening (>4mm) is a common  ning.
4. Mesenteric lymphadenopathy is found in 45 % of cases. When the lymphadenopathy is associated with thickening of bowel wall segments, lymphoma should be suspected ( the commonest malignancy in celiac disease ).
5 . I n ulcerative jejunoileitis , there is a circumferential
thickening of bowel wall with a bilaminar con guration, bowel wall deep ulcers, and mucosal hyper-enhancement ( characteristic in patients with celiac disease ) .
Whipple’s Disease (Intestinal Lipodystrophy)
Whipple’s disease (WD) is a rare, multisystemic, infectious disease characterized by destruction of the intestinal villi and the lamina propria by macrophages that stain positive with periodic acid of Schi (PAS) stain due to engulfed glycopro­tein material.

WD is caused by slow-growing, intracellular, gram-
positive bacterium called Tropheryma whipplei . Humans are the only known host for this infection. Diagnosis is con­ rmed by detecting these PAS stain-positive macrophages a er intestinal biopsy. Patients with WD clinically complain of steatorrhea, weight loss, abdominal distension and tenderness, skin pigmenta­tion, lymphadenopathy (usually mesenteric), and intermit­tent, nondeforming, migratory arthritis (80 % of cases). Other manifestations include the eye, heart, and nervous sys­tem abnormalities. Neurological manifestations of WD
Signs on MRI
On brain T2W and FLAIR images, there may be areas of hyperintensities aff ecting both temporomesial regions,
include supranuclear gaze palsy, cognitive changes, ataxia, dementia, and seizures.
Signs on Barium Follow-Through
Unlike sprue, WD usually shows minimal signs of segmentation and dilatation in comparison to sprue. However, there is marked thickening of the mucosal folds, with maybe slightly nodular pattern on barium fi lms ( most prominent radiological fi nding in WD ).

VIPoma (Werner–Morris Syndrome/ Pancreatic Cholera)
Vasoactive intestinal peptide-secreting tumor (VIPoma) is a disease characterized by W atery D iarrhea, H ypokalemia, and low or absence of gastric acid secretion or A chlorhydria (sometimes referred to also as WDHA syndrome ), as classi- cally de ned in the medical literature.
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) induces smooth mus­cle relaxation of the gastrointestinal tract, stimulating water secretion into pancreatic juices and bile, inhibits gastric acid secretion, and inhibits absorption from the intestine. VIPoma may occur as part of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1) or may coexist with bronchogenic carcinoma.
Patients with VIPoma are usually 40 years old typically presenting with massive watery diarrhea with fecal  uid losses amounting to more than 10 l per day in some reported cases.  e diarrhea has ranged from a few months to up to 15 years. Other features include weight loss, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Hypokalemia man­ifests during attack resulting in lethargy and marked mus­cular weakness.
Typically, most investigations are normal including upper GI endoscopy, barium enema studies, enteroclysis, stool cul­ture for parasitic ova, and urinary 5-HIAA.Urinary levels of 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) are used to detect car­cinoid tumors of the enterochroma n cells of the small intestine. 5-HIAA determines the body’s levels of serotonin.

Patients with renal failure may show falsely low levels of

5-HIAA.Serum potassium levels are usually low during the diarrheal attacks. Impaired glucose tolerance test has been observed in several patients with VIPoma and was attributed to a secondary e ect of chronic hypokalemia. Hypercalcemia and acidosis are other laboratory features in VIPoma.

2.1 Stroke (Brain Infarction)
Stroke means the death of brain cells (infarction) due to isch-
2
emia or emboli.
 e most common causes of stroke are atherosclerosis, embolic vascular occlusion, hypertension, and in ammatory vascular diseases (vasculitis). Patients present with sudden neurological de cits in the body according to the area of the brain a ected. Up to 75 % of all cerebral infarctions occur due to middle cerebral artery occlusion. Occlusion of the poste­rior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) causes infarction of the lateral medulla plus the inferior cerebellar peduncles ( Wallenberg’s syndrome ).
D i ff erential Diagnoses and Related Diseases
Pusher syndrome is a very speci c disease of postural orien­tation, commonly a ecting poststroke hemiparetic patients. In the pusher syndrome, patients use their nonparetic arm and/or leg to actively push from the nonparalyzed side toward the paralyzed, which results in loss of balance and falling toward the paralyzed side (. Fig. 2.1.1 ).  ese patients also resist any attempt to correct their tilted body posture toward the vertical upright position. Pusher syndrome can be seen in up to 10 % of patients with hemiparesis due to strokes. Pusher syndrome may be also arising due to brain trauma or tumors.
5 Imaging strokes involves the assessment of four Ps: 5 Parenchyma : assess the area of stroke and excludes
hemorrhage (checked by unenhanced CT).
5 Pipes : assess the extra- and intracerebral blood vessels
(carotid and vertebral arteries). Scanning for CTA should start from the head to the aortic arch.
5 Perfusion : assess cerebral blood volume (CBV), cerebral
blood  ow (CBF), and mean transit time (MTT).
5 Penumbra : the concept of penumbra in stroke refers to the
salvageable brain tissue. When a vascular insult occurs, the infarcted tissue is surrounded by a region of stunned tissue due to reduction of the blood  ow within the a ected region.  e identi cation of the penumbra helps the decision of using thrombolytics in acute stroke cases. On CT, the penumbra is assessed by showing parameters’ mismatch, while on MR, it is assessed by showing di usion/ perfusion mismatch. Penumbra = MTT minus CBV.
 rombolytics are not given to stroke patients beyond 3h from the start of the symptoms due to the risk of hemor­rhage. Hemorrhage is an absolute contraindication for thrombolytic therapy. Stroke is evaluated on unenhanced CT, CT angiography, and CT perfusion study.
Hemorrhagic infarction is usually caused by hypertension or embolic occlusion. Hemorrhagic infarctions arise due to two mechanisms:
5 Venous thrombosis : the high  owing arterial blood is
obstructed by a blocked vein, which raises the intracapillary pressure causing them to rupture and bleed.
5 Arterial embolism : the embolus blocks the artery, and in
some times a small hole develops within the embolus making blood gush into the capillaries with high speed and pressure, causing them to rupture and bleed.
Lacunar infarctions ( cerebral microangiopathy ) are infarc- tions less than 1cm in size and occur due to occlusion of the penetrating arterioles of the brain parenchyma. Usually, they are seen in the basal ganglia, the thalamus, and the internal capsule. Lacunar infarctions are commonly seen in diabetic patients.

Chapter 2 · Neurology
The hypodense lesion follows a vascular territory (. Fig. 2.1.3 ). Cytotoxic edema starts after 30 min
2
from the stroke attack, and vasogenic edema starts from 4 to 6 h postattack. Each increase in 1 % of parenchymal edema reduces the Hounsfield unit (HU) by 2.5 HU.
5 Subacute stage (days to weeks): there is a hypodense
lesion without edema (. Fig. 2.1.2b ). Edema resolves and the mass effect decreases at 7–10 days postattack.
5 Chronic stage (more than 3 months postattack): the
tissues around the lesion will lose their volume (gliosis), which will cause negative pressure upon the adjacent ventricles, causing their dilatation ( evacuee dilatation ) (. Fig. 2.1.2c ). When the evacuee dilatation is massive, the negative pressure causes the ventricle to open into the infarction, creating a porencephalic cyst (. Fig. 2.1.2d ). Porencephalic cyst is a cerebrospinal fl uid cyst that is communicating with the ventricles.
5 Hyperdense vessel sign : on nonenhanced CT, a
thrombosed vessel may appear as a hyperdense structure due to the thrombus within it. Normal blood measures 40–60 HU and is normally not seen on nonenhanced CT, while thrombosed blood measures 77–80 HU and can appear on nonenhanced CT. The thrombosed blood vessels are usually
asymmetric, and bilateral symmetrical hyperdense vessel is unlikely to be thrombosis.
5 Obscuration of the lentiform nucleus : hypoattenuation
and obscuration of the lentiform nucleus due to cytotoxic edema are another signs of acute infarction.
5 Insular ribbon sign : it refers to hypoattenuation of the
insular region with loss of the gray–white matter definition.
5 HU window alteration : the standard HU window setting
is 80 HU widths and 20 HU center. If no abnormality in attenuation is seen in the image, lower the window to 8 HU widths and 32 HU center. The last settings increase the sensitivity for detection of hypodense areas. Luxury perfusion : When you inject contrast into an acute infarction, you’ll get contrast diff usion as multiple lines into the gyri (. Fig. 2.1.4 ). This sign appears within the fi rst 3 days of the attack. It is best recalled by Elster’s rule of 3 (as early as 3 days, maximum at 3 days to 3 weeks and gone by 3 months).
5 Hemorrhagic infarction is seen as an area of
hyperdense blood within the brain parenchyma surrounded by hypodense area of cytotoxic edema.
5 Lacunar infarction is seen as a small (<2 cm),
hypodense area within the brain parenchyma with no mass effect (. Fig. 2.1.5 ).
5 Disruption of the normal circle of Willis branches is
classically detected in stroke (. Fig. 2.1.6 ) .
