非脑膜瘤脑膜异常强化的MRI与病因对比研究

目的：分析不同脑膜病变的强化特征，探讨脑膜强化形式与病因诊断的关系。材料与方法：回顾性分析资料完整的异常脑膜强化２６例，根据脑膜受累层次、范围将强化形式分为四种：（１）弥漫性脑膜强化；（２）弥漫性硬膜强化；（３）弥漫性软膜强化；（４）局限性硬膜强化。依病因不同将脑膜病变分为三组：（１）肿瘤组；（２）炎症组；（３）反应组。结果：２６例中，肿瘤组８例，其中弥漫性硬膜、软膜强化各３例，弥漫性脑膜强化、局限性硬膜强化各１例。炎症组８例，弥漫性软膜强化７例，局限性硬膜强化１例。反应组１０例，８例呈局限性硬膜强化，２例呈弥漫性硬膜强化。结论：不同的脑膜病变可表现不同的强化特征，但离开临床，仅根据强化特征尚难做出定性诊断。     

Diagnostic value of MRI in tuberculous meningitis

In this study 15 patients with clinical findings and positive cerebrospinal fluid analyses for tuberculous meningitis were evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Tuberculous meningitis was diagnosed in 11 cases when thick meningeal enhancement was present after intravenous injection of gadolinium diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-DTPA) in T1-weighted images. Intra-axial tuberculomas were present in 8 patients, 2 of whom had intra-axial tuberculomas without MRI evidence of meningitis. Tuberculomas showed ring or nodular enhancement in postcontrast T1-weighted images, but the most significant MR feature of intraparenchymal tuberculomas was the hypointense appearance of the lesions on T2-weighted images.Correspondence to: C.

MR增强FLAIR和T_1WI序列对儿童感染性脑膜炎成像效能的对比

目的：分析儿童感染性脑膜炎的MRI特征,并对增强FLAIR和T1WI序列的成像效能进行评价,探讨增强FLAIR序列对儿童感染性脑膜炎的诊断价值。方法：感染性脑膜炎患儿15例,均行常规MRI平扫及增强检查,增强检查包括T1WI及FLAIR扫描。图像由3位有经验的影像诊断医师进行评估。结果：增强FLAIR序列对感染性脑膜炎病变的显示较敏感,同时可以将强化的皮层静脉及静脉窦正确区分,并可显示脑脊液的强化,但对于伴有脑实质内微小病灶的显示具有一定的局限性。结论：增强FLAIR和增强T1WI结合可以获得更全面的信息,增强FLAIR可作为增强T1WI的有益补充。     

Acute epiglottitis: MRI

We report the MRI findings in an adult with epiglottitis. There was thickening of the epiglottis and left aryepiglottic fold. Management of this life-threatening condition requires imaging only when the diagnosis is uncertain or when an abscess or other complication is suspected.

Sydenham's chorea: MRI and proton spectroscopy

We present the MRI and proton spectroscopy findings in a child with clinical diagnosis of Sydenham's chorea. MRI showed high signal in the caudate nuclei and putamina on T2-weighted images. We believe that the spectra showed an abnormality in the number and/or function of neurons, lipids from cellular breakdown (cytolytic effect of antibodies), aminoacids (related to the presence of antibodies in the neostriatum), and sugars (also related to the presence of antibodies). The spectroscopy features correlate well with the histopathology and biochemistry of this rare disorder. Received: 27 November 1998 Accepted: 5 April 1998

脑胶质肉瘤的MRI表现及临床病理对照研究

目的 评价MRI对脑胶质肉瘤的诊断价值. 资料与方法 经病理证实的脑胶质肉瘤8例,回顾分析其MRI表现及病理学表现. 结果 病灶基本上表现为长T1 、长T2信号,边界不清,多数形态不规则,伴有囊变和坏死,个别可见瘤内出血,生长具有侵袭性,少数为结节状.周围脑组织水肿较轻,占位效应明显.增强扫描7例明显强化,1例轻中度强化,5例呈不规则环状强化,2例呈结节状强化,3例内部可见丝瓜瓤样不规则条状强化;2例直接侵犯邻近脑叶,3例发现瘤内出血,5例发生于脑凸面,1例发生于深部脑白质,1例发生于左侧侧脑室. 结论 脑胶质肉瘤通常发生于额、顶叶脑凸面,MRI能够清楚地显示病变及其边界,但信号改变易与多形胶质母细胞瘤、恶性胶质瘤、转移瘤等相混淆.确诊仍依赖于组织病理学诊断.     

Contrast enhancement of the cerebrospinal fluid on MRI in two cases of spirochaetal meningitis

We report two patients with meningitis due to spirochaetal infection, both of whom showed diffusely enhancing meninges around the brain and spinal cord. In addition, there was enhancement of the cerebrospinal fluid after intravenous administration of Gd-DTPA. Received: 1 March 1998/Accepted: 21 August 1999     

Tay's syndrome: MRI

Tay's syndrome is a trichothiodystrophy associated with congenital ichthyosis. We report the findings on MRI and spectroscopy in a young girl with sparse, short, ruffled hair, dry skin and delayed milestones. T2-weighted images showed prominent diffuse confluent increase in signal symmetrically in all the supratentorial white matter. These findings are similar to those in a previously described case, and consistent with dysmyelination. Spectroscopy showed increased myoinositol and decreased choline.

Whole-body MRI at high field: technical limits and clinical potential

This review seeks to clarify the most important implications of higher magnetic field strength for clinical examinations of the whole body. An overview is provided on the resulting advantages and disadvantages for anatomical, functional and biochemical magnetic resonance examinations in different regions of the body. It is demonstrated that susceptibility-dependent imaging, chemical shift selective (e.g., fat-suppressed) imaging, and spectroscopic techniques clearly gain from higher field strength. Problems due to shorter wavelength and higher radio frequency energy deposition at higher field strength are reported, especially in examinations of the body trunk. Thorax examinations provided sufficient homogeneity of the radio frequency field for common examination techniques in most cases, whereas abdominal and pelvic imaging was often hampered by undesired dielectric effects. Currently available and potential future strategies to overcome related limitations are discussed. Whole-body MRI at higher field strength currently leads to clearly improved image quality using a variety of established sequence types and for examination of many body regions. But some major problems at higher field strength have to be solved before high-field magnetic resonance systems can really replace the well-established and technically developed magnetic resonance systems operating at 1.5 T for each clinical application.

目的：回顾分析８例烟雾病的磁共振成像表现，探讨磁共振成像对烟雾病的诊断价值。方法：８例烟雾病中男女各４例。年龄４～４９岁，平均２０．４岁。磁共振成像应用Ｓｉｅｍｅｎｓ１．０ＴＭＲ系统和头表面线圈。均有ＳＥ序列Ｔ１ＷＩ和Ｔ２ＷＩ，７例有三维时间飞跃法磁共振血管造影（３Ｄ－ＴＯＦＭＲＡ），１例有ＤＳＡ。结果：ＳＥ序列ＭＲＩ均见丘脑－基底节区（单侧２例，双侧６例）有扩张的烟雾血管，其中以Ｔ１ＷＩ显示更为清楚直观。７例３Ｄ－ＴＯＦＭＲＡ和１例ＤＳＡ均见ＩＣＡ上端、ＭＣＡ和ＡＣＡ近端闭塞以及丘脑－基底节区的烟雾血管。这些病理血管分布侧别与ＳＥ序列磁共振成像所见一致。结论：ＳＥ序列磁共振成像和３Ｄ－ＴＯＦＭＲＡ是诊断烟雾病的有效方法。Ｔ１ＷＩ显示丘脑－基底节区烟雾血管优于Ｔ２ＷＩ。３Ｄ－ＴＯＦＭＲＡ尚适用于烟雾病血管旁路术后随诊及其高危人群普查。     

Spinal MRI in vacuolar myelopathy, and correlation with histopathological findings

We correlated MRI features with histopathological findings in an HIV-positive patient with vacuolar myelopathy. On MRI symmetrical nonenhancing high-signal areas in the posterior columns on T2-weighted images result from extensive vacuolation visible on histological sections.

Proteus syndrome: craniofacial and cerebral MRI

The Proteus syndrome is a rare hamartoneoplastic syndrome that may affect the brain, skull, and extracranial head and neck. We present a case with severe, characteristic findings. Brain abnormalities are not common in Proteus syndrome; when present, hemimegalencephaly and migrational disorders are typically seen, commonly with an associated seizure disorder. Maxillary and mandibular dysmorphism may occur, including unilateral condylar hyperplasia. Subcutaneous fatty, fibrous, lymphangiomatous masses commonly seen in this syndrome may involve the neck and face, leading to disfigurement and potential airway compromise.

穴位和非穴位电针镇痛的脑功能磁共振对照研究

目的:用功能磁共振成像(fMRI)方法研究穴位和非穴位电针(EA)镇痛时脑功能区变化,了解穴位对电针镇痛的影响.材料和方法:采用穴位深刺、非穴位深刺不同的针刺方法,分别电针20例健康右利手志愿者左侧足少阳胆经的阳陵泉(GB34)和悬钟穴(GB39),同时行全脑fMRI扫描;SPM99软件进行图像后处理,t检验(P<0.01)分析得出不同针刺方法的脑功能图像.结果:20例受试者中有16例完成穴位深刺,18例完成非穴位深刺.穴位深刺与非穴位深刺引起的脑功能区的变化有显著差别.穴位深刺组表现为中脑导水管周围灰质(PAG)、双侧豆状核区等信号升高;双侧扣带前回(BA24、32区)、左侧杏仁体(NA)、双侧海马结构等信号降低.这些发生明显变化的脑功能区被认为可能与针刺镇痛有关.非穴位组双侧扣带前回(BA24、32区)等信号升高,双侧豆状核等信号降低.结论:fMRI方法研究表明,穴位深刺电针镇痛的作用可能是通过抑制和兴奋与痛觉调制相关的多个脑功能区而实现的.非穴位深刺可能更多的是一种不良的刺激.穴位的准确定位对电针镇痛有明显影响.
