Afterwards, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain was requested (Images 1-4). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, weighted in FLAIR, axial sectionMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, T1-weighted, axial sectionMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, T2-weighted, coronal sectionMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, T2-weighted, axial section Question:After analyzing the case and the imaging exams presented, what is the most likely diagnosis? Glioblastoma Astrocytoma Meningioma Brain metastasis Test Question (CESPE/UNB - 2009) A 24-years old female patient presented visual loss and sensitivity changes in both lower limbs two weeks before the appointment with no previous infections or vaccination. The neurological examination showed significant visual loss in both eyes, moderated weakness and hyperreflexia of the lower limbs, with bilateral positive Babinski’s sign and sensitive levels in T4-T5. She had no control over her fecal and urinary sphincters. Pergunta:According to the hypothetical case described, the alternative which contains the most likely diagnostic hypothesis is: Hypertensive encephalopathy Devic’s disease Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy Parassagital frontal meningioma Shilder’s disease Time is Up!
