Gadolinium leakage into ocular structures in Stroke: New Update

In a study published in Neurology Emi Hitomi et al  prompted by the unexpected finding of gadolinium leakage into ocular structures (GLOS) in acute stroke patients,  authors studied the frequency and nature of this finding in 167 patients. Authors found  gadolinium leakage into ocular structures (GLOS) to be common in patients with acute stroke; delayed GLOS was a marker for chronic vascular disease. The mechanism for acute GLOS remains uncertain but may be a remote effect of acute cerebral injury on the blood –ocular barrier.Famous Radiology Blog http://www.sumerdoc.blogspot.com
