海马头部浅沟消失对海马硬化诊断价值的探讨

目的　探讨海马头部浅沟消失对海马硬化的诊断价值。方法　对 18例经组织学检查证实的海马硬化患者的MRI检查资料和 18例年龄相匹配的对照组进行回顾性分析 ,观察海马头部浅沟的显示情况、海马头部大小和信号改变。结果　 18例海马硬化患者中 ,16例硬化侧海马头部浅沟消失 ,1例硬化侧海马头部浅沟明显变浅 ,几乎消失 ,1例硬化侧海马头部浅沟存在。硬化侧海马头部均有萎缩 ,并在T2 WI和液体衰减恢复 (FLAIR)成像呈高信号。海马头部浅沟消失对海马硬化诊断的敏感性为 88.9% ,特异性为 10 0 %。结论　海马头部浅沟消失是诊断海马硬化的一个可靠征象 ,结合患侧海马有萎缩性改变和T2 加权成像信号增高 ,可肯定诊断海马硬化。

The Exploration of Value of Loss of Digitations of Hippocampal Head in Diagnosis of Hippocampal Sclerosis

Objective To explore the significance and value of loss of digitations of hippocampal head in diagnosis of hippocampal sclerosis.Methods Eighteen patients with hippocampal sclerosis comfirmed by histopathological examination and 18 cases to be matched control group were examined by MRI . The digitations,atrophic change and abnormal signals of hippocampal head were evaluated retrospectively.Results Of 18 patients with hippocampal sclerosis, loss of digitations was seen in 16 cases, poorly visible in 1 case and exist in 1 case. The sclerotic hippocampal heads all had atrophic change and were hyperintensity on T_2-weighted and FLAIR MR imagings. No loss of digitations were seen in the opposite side of the hippocampal sclerosis and all hippocampal heads in control group.Conclusion The loss of digitations of hippocampal head is a sensitive indicator for the diagnosis of hippocampal sclerosis.
