颅内血管外皮细胞瘤的MRI及MRS诊断

目的:探讨颅内血管外皮细胞瘤的MRI及MRS表现特征. 材料和方法:回顾性分析7例颅内血管外皮细胞瘤的MRI、MRS表现,其中MRI检查7例,MRS检查4例. 结果:7例中,肿块呈多分叶状6例,MRI平扫中3例T1WI呈等信号,3例呈等、低信号,1例合并出血肿块内夹杂高信号灶,T2WI上2例呈等信号,4例呈等高混杂信号,1例呈混杂高信号,5个肿块内及周边均可见多发迂曲扩张的血管流空影,增强扫描肿块明显均匀(3例)或不均匀(4例)增强.4例MRS均表现为Cho明显升高及明显高耸Lip峰,NAA明显降低或消失,2例MI峰明显增高,未见Ala峰和Glx峰.结论:颅内血管外皮细胞瘤MRI表现具有一定特征性,结合MRS表现有助于与脑膜瘤的鉴别.

MRI and MRS Study of Intracranial Hemangiopericytoma

Purpose:To assess MRI and MRS features of intracranial hemangiopericytoma.Materials and Methods: The imaging data of MRI and MRS were analyzed retrospectively with seven cases of hemangiopericytoma.MR examinations were performed on seven cases,MRS on 4 cases.Results: The position of lesions were all located at the supratentorial area and extraaxial region.Six masses were lobulated in shape.Of seven cases,3 cases were isointense with cortical gray matter,3 iso- and hypointense,l hypointense with localized hyperintense resulted from hemorrhage on T1WI: 2 cases demonstrated isointense with cortical gray matter,4 iso- and hyperintense,1 complex hyperintense on T2WI.Five tumors had prominent internal or surficial serpentine signal voids.3 tumors showed homogeneous marked enhancement,4 heterogeneous enhancement.MRS of four tumors showed marked elevated Cho peak,Lip peak and diminished or disappeared NAA peak.Two cases were companied with marked elevated MI peak.Conclusion:The MR imaging findings of hemangiopericytoma has some characteristics,which can help differentiation from meningioma combined MRS.
