Abstract

Virchow-Robin spaces (VRSs) are perivascular pia-lined extensions of the subarachnoidspace around the arteries and veins as they enter the brain parenchyma. The precise etiologyof these enlarged perivascular spaces (PVSs) is unknown. VRSs usually do not causesignificant mass effect and neurologic deterioration. However; cystic enlargement of giant VRspaces may be misinterpreted in radiological studies as a part of a pathologic process. Withthis report, we present a case of giant Virchow-Robin spaces in MRI section as a cause ofataxic gait in a 56 year-old male patient.

Özet

Virchow-Robin mesafesi (VRM); küçük arter ve venlerin subaraknoid alandan beyinparenkimine girdiği yerdeki perivasküler boşluklardır. VRM'nin mekanizması hala tamanlaşılabilmiş değildir. Kitle etkisi oluşturmadıklarından genellikle semptomsuzdurlar vetesadüfen rastlanılırlar. Çok fazla sayıda sıkıca kümelenmiş olanları kistik görünümoluşturmakta ve yanlış tanıya neden olabilmektedir. Bu olgu sunumu ile, 56 yaşında erkekhastada dev kistik VRM'nin yürüme ataksisine sebep olabileceğini vurgulamak istedik.
