Abstract EN
With phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS) energy metabolites can be visualised.
In this case study, we report on a patient with stenosis and wall contrast enhancement in the left internal carotid and the right vertebral artery, due to giant cell arteritis.
31P MRS revealed a decreased inorganic phosphate-to-phosphocreatine ratio (Pi/PCr) in regions with a prolonged mean transit time (MTT).
After systemic therapy and angioplasty of the right vertebral artery, the stenosis and the symptoms improved and the area of prolonged MTT became smaller.
However, a new decrease in Pi/PCr in areas that developed moderately prolonged MTT was observed.
