title: NMR approach of the periventricular white matter.
abstract: From a series of 117 neurological patients presenting a pathological periventricular white matter signal on NMR, the authors discuss the differential diagnosis possibilities based on the configuration of the lesions, on their localization in the brain, and on the calculated apparent T2 (T2**) values achieved with the single multi-echos technique.
