Paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) are a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) marker of compartmentalized intraparenchymal inflammation. The primary objective was to investigate clinical, demographic, and MRI factors that may be predictive the future formation PRL. This is retrospective analysis longitudinal data. Patients were included if they had ⩾1 gadolinium-enhancing lesion on any historical follow-up scan(s) ⩾6 months afterward standardized 3T using filtered phase component susceptibility-sensitive sequence ("SWAN"). Regression machine-learning models used identify ability immunological, treatment-related, predictors PRL formation. A total 64 patients having 229 contrast-enhancing (CELs) included. Among all predictors, diameter initial enhancing most influential for determining subsequent formation; every millimeter increase in increased risk by 44%. Other did not contribute additional information; administration steroids associated with effect. long-axis CEL best translational predictor at follow-up. measure holds promise as method high chronic active during acute inflammatory window.
