Whipple's disease
2017, Journal of the Neurological SciencesCitation Excerpt :Whipple's disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with fluctuating cognitive impairment, rapidly progressing dementias and brainstem encephalitis. On MRI, the presence of high midline T2 signal intensity involving the hypothalamus, brainstem, or mesial temporal lobes [107,89] and high T2 signal intensity alterations in a peripheral disposition in white matter [89,108], in the clinical context of symptoms suggestive of WD, should prompt the physician to test for the involvement of the CNS. The myriad, non-specific symptoms of WD make for a broad differential diagnosis, which includes autoimmune diseases, vasculitis and even tumors.
