摘要
目的:分析桥脑外髓鞘溶解症(EPM)的MRI特点。方法:经临床及影像确诊的EPM患者10例,均行头颅MRI检查,其中2例仅行平扫,8例行平扫和增强扫描,回顾性分析其MRI表现,总结其诊断和鉴别诊断要点。结果:10例患者均出现双侧尾状核、豆状核对称性异常信号,T1WI病灶呈低信号,T2WI呈稍高信号,T2-FLAIR病灶呈更加明显的异常高信号,增强扫描无明显强化。其它病灶分布:双侧背侧丘脑2例,双侧岛叶1例,顶叶皮层下白质3例;3例患者伴发脑桥中央对称性异常信号。结论:EPM的MRI表现具有一定特征性,结合临床及实验室检查可作出正确诊断。
Objective:To analyze the MRI characteristics of extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM). Methods: 10 cases with clinical and imaging diagnosed EPM before treatment were enrolled in this study. All patients had cerebral MRI,with 2 pa tients had plain and 8 patients had both pre and post-contrast MR1 scanning. The MRI findings were analyzed retrospectively, the characteristics for diagnosis and differential diagnosis were discussed. Results:Symmetric abnormal signal intensities on bilateral caudate and lenticular neclei were observed in all 10 cases. The lesions showed hypo-intensity on T1WI, slight hyper-intensity on T2 WI and markedly abnormal hyper-intensity on T2-FLAIR,no obvious enhancement was showed after contrast administration. Lesions could also be revealed on bilateral dorsal aspect of thalamus (n= 2), bilateral insula (n = 1) and subcortical white matter in parietal lobe (n=3). 3 patients had associated abnormal signal intensities in the center of pontine. Conclnsion:Extrapontine myelinolysis has characteristic MRI findings. Accurate diagnosis can be made based on MRI findings in combination with clinical manifestations.
