摘要
目的探讨创伤后应激障碍患者(PTSD)是否存在连合纤维束胼胝体及联络纤维扣带纤维束的超微结构异常。方法1.5T的MR成像仪下对12例PTSD患者及12名正常对照进行磁共振弥散张量成像(DTI),测量受试者胼胝体膝部、体部、压部、及双侧扣带水平部、后部等感兴趣区内主要白质纤维束的各向异性分数(FA)值,并进行组间比较。结果患者组双侧(左侧、右侧)扣带束水平部、胼胝体压部的FA值较对照组明显降低,差异均有统计学意义(t分别为3.26、-4.13、2.84,P均小于0.05)。结论PTSD患者的边缘系统纤维束可能存在结构异常。
Objective To study the white matter fiber integrity in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder by using MR diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Methods Twelve patients with posttraumatie stress disorder and twelve healthy volunteers were examined with MR T1WI ,T2WI and DTI. Fractional anisotropy maps ,directionally encoded color maps were created with the software of DTV-II. Fractional anisotropy (FA) were measured in the genu (anterior), body and splenium (posterior) of corpus callosum, horizontal part and posterior part of the bilateral cingulste fibers. Results In normal volunteers group, FA measurements in white matter regions were normal and reconstructed FA images and directionally encoded color(DEC) maps could display main white fibers in normal controls. The FA value of the splenium (posterior) of corpus callosum and horizontal part of the bilateral cingulate fibers was significant lower in PTSD patients than in normal controls ( P 〈 0. 05 ). Conclusions The fiber bundle of the limbic system in patients with PTSD may have structural abnornalities.
