Imaging characteristics, yield of computed tomography, and clinical outcomes of central nervous system nocardiosis
Key Points
To evaluate the imaging characteristics, diagnostic yield, and clinical outcomes associated with CNS nocardiosis.
Analyzed imaging data from patients suspected of CNS nocardiosis.
Assessed the prevalence of brain lesions in CT scans.
Examined clinical outcomes in correlation with imaging findings.
Approximately 20% of patients present with a normal brain CT scan.
Most patients exhibit multiple supratentorial brain lesions.
Abstract
CNS nocardiosis commonly presents with multiple, supratentorial brain lesions. About 20% of patients will have a normal brain CT, usually those with multiple small lesions.
