背景:目前MRI对于颈椎病的检查多是常规的中立仰卧位静态平扫,是在非运动和非承重的条件下完成的,容易忽略脊髓在人体中承重和动态下脊髓的器质性改变。
目的:分析颈椎动态MRI结合临床表现早期诊断脊髓型颈椎病的临床意义。
方法:对随机抽取的正常人群10名(正常组)、有颈肩部不适的亚健康人群20名(亚健康组)、有脊髓型颈椎病症状体征但常规MRI不支持的患者20名(MRI正常脊髓型颈椎病组)、符合现行脊髓型颈椎病诊断标准的患者20名(脊髓型颈椎病组)进行JOA评分,颈椎正侧位片、颈椎中立位MRI及颈椎动态MRI检查,并随访18个月以上,观察4组研究对象各项观察指标的变化情况及4组人群的转归情况。
结果与结论:脊髓型颈椎病组20例患者均在入组半年内手术治疗;MRI正常脊髓型颈椎病组20例中有16例在入组16个月内行手术治疗,其中4例入组1年内在中立位MRI检查尚无明显改变时即行手术治疗,12例在入组1年后颈椎中立位MRI也已有脊髓型颈椎病的典型改变时行手术治疗,前者治疗效果明显优于后者(P < 0.05);亚健康组有4例出现了脊髓型颈椎病的症状体征,发现此4例患者动态颈椎MRI检查均有椎管变窄脊髓受压征象,但中立位MRI仅发现1例由此改变,且此例动态MRI在入组12个月时已经发现脊髓受压。在正常组随访中动态MRI与中立位MRI检查均发现1例有椎管变窄脊髓受压征象,但患者没有任何不适症状,考虑为假阳性;二者假阳性率相同。结果表明,颈椎动态MRI检查较中立位MRI能够更早期、更真实客观地发现脊髓受压征象;在临床症状、体征检查的基础上将常规的中立位MRI检查与动态MRI检查相结合将会更早期发现脊髓型颈椎病。 相似文献

颈椎椎管狭窄有原发性(发育性)和继发性狭窄。前者由于椎弓根、关节小面和椎板这三个决定椎管矢状径的因素发育异常所致,后者则由于广泛的骨质增生、后纵韧带骨化、黄韧带肥厚等继发性病变所引起。颈前路手术不能解除椎管狭窄,广泛的椎板切除术是解除狭窄的合理方法,但有造成颈椎不稳定,半脱位,鹅颈畸形,瘢痕压迫脊髓以及病人颈后怕受压和心理上不安全感。为此,很多学者设计椎管成形术以扩大椎管而又保持椎管完整。我院自1986年5月至1988年5月共进行5例,并作了改进,效果较好, 相似文献

This investigation was designed to assess the influence of dynamic cord compression on severity and course of myelopathy. Sixty-seven patients studied comprised 54 cases of cervical spondylosis and 13 cases of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament. These patients underwent "dynamic" MR imaging of the cervical spine. MR images in the sagittal view were obtained in three different neck positions: flexion, neutral, and extension. MR imaging was performed with a 0.15 T resistive unit. For technical reasons, the body coil was used. The pulse sequence was 500/30 (Tr msec/echo time msec) for T1 images. The spinal cord compression was accelerated in 32 cases when extended, in 2 cases when flexed, and in 4 cases when both extended and flexed. In 21 cases, we compared myelograms with MR images in a same neck position. Findings of myelograms well corresponded with those of MR images on 83 percent of intervertebral levels. The patients with dynamic cord compression were proved to have severer long tract signs, and their disability was regressive or progressive case by case for an average of 21-month follow-up. The "dynamic" MR imaging can provide dynamic nature of spinal cord compression, and prognostic clues. 相似文献

The pathophysiology of focal spinal cord MRI T2 hyperintensity (SCHI) in patients with cervical spondylosis is uncertain. This study was undertaken to determine the frequency and cause of SCHI. The authors reviewed serial cervical spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reports and reviewed scans with spondylosis and cord compression or SCHI. The authors noted the location, shape, and extent of SCHI, and severity of spondylosis (expressed as a spondylosis score [SS]). The authors recorded the age and vascular risk factors for each patient. Nineteen of 273 scans (7%) with cervical spondylosis and 19 of 36 scans (53%) with cord compression had SCHI. The SCHI extended for one vertebral level from the compression in 12 patients and for three vertebral levels in 5 patients, and were distant from the compression in 2 patients. The SCHI had a focal, symmetrical, anterior spinal artery terminal zone location in 16 of 19 scans (84%). A rim isointense with normal cord separated all SCHI from the pial surface. Patients with SCHI were older (58.3 years ± 12.8 years versus 46.8 ± 8.1 years) (p = 0.007) and had a higher SS (5.7 ± 2.4 versus 3.9 ± 1.4) (p = 0.02) than patients without SCHI. The SCHI relates to the severity of cervical spondylosis. The anterior spinal artery territory location, the normal cord between SCHI and the compressive lesion, and the presence of SCHI at a distance from the compressive level all suggest an ischemic basis for SCHI. 相似文献

Pressure pattern analysis of Queckenstedt test was performed to detect the partial subarachnoidal block in patients with spinal or dural canal stenosis. The Queckenstedt test was performed by lumbar puncture when the patient was in lateral recumbent posture with bilateral jugular compression in three different neck positions; neutral, flexion and extension. Lumbar subarachnoidal pressure was visually measured each successive 5 seconds during a 30 second period of jugular compression, followed by a succession of 5 second measurements for 30 seconds after release of compression. The pressure changes during the total 60 seconds were demonstrated by pressure-time graph. The pressure pattern during jugular compression in patients with neurosis, neuropathy or muscle disease (total 18 cases, Fig.1) who were thought to have no subarachnoidal block showed sudden steep rise of pressure which gradually slowed and rapidly returned to pre-compression level after release of compression. The normal pattern showed upward convexity-downward concave and was almost identical in three different neck positions. Therefore we considered the normal pressure pattern to be a parabola-like or an exponential curve like patterns. The patients group with cevical spondylotic radiculopathy (16 cases, Fig. 3A) showed nearly normal pressure pattern except for some loss of upward convexity during neck extension and neutral positions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Superior sensitivity of motor over somatosensory evoked potentials in the diagnosis of cervical spondylotic myelopathy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Myelopathy secondary to cervical spondylosis is often a difficult clinical diagnosis. Furthermore, with the introduction of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) an increasing number of patients are identified with spondylotic cervical spinal cord compression. We analyzed the value of functional assessment of the spinal cord by motor and sensory evoked potentials (MEP and SEP) in the detection of myelopathy, with special emphasis on the correlation of clinical and electrophysiological findings. Fifty-one patients with at least some degree of spinal cord compression because of cervical spondylosis, as shown by MRI, were included in the study, grouped according to clinical symptoms. We found that patients who had no clinical symptoms whatsoever indicating myelopathy (they were referred to MRI examination mostly because of cervical radiculopathy), had in the large majority normal MEP and SEP findings. Patients with slight, unspecific and non-confirmative symptoms without pyramidal signs had mostly abnormal MEP but normal SEP findings. This points to the superior sensitivity of MEP over SEP in detecting myelopathy in its early stages. Patients with obvious clinical signs of myelopathy, including pyramidal signs had both abnormal MEP and SEP findings. Altogether these findings may help clinicians in interpreting MRI signs of cervical spinal cord compression. 相似文献

A 22-year-old woman developed a slowly progressive symmetric weakness and muscular atrophy of distal upper limbs at the age of 17. Radiography during anteflexion and retroflexion showed a hypermobile cervical spine with a maximum at the C5/6 disc level. Cervical myelography and postmyelographic computed tomography (CT) of the lower cervical spine demonstrated a remarkable anterior shift of the dural sac during anteflexion resulting in anteroposterior compression of the lower spinal cord. Postmyelographic CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed atrophy of the lower spinal cord with bilateral cystic lesions. We suppose that repetitive straining and compression of the lower cervical cord during neck flexion of the hypermobile cervical spine caused selective necrosis of anterior horn cells with secondary cystic transformation. Mechanically induced flexion myelopathy should be considered in all young patients presenting with muscular atrophy of the distal upper limb. Functional CT myelography or dynamic MRI of the cervical spine are appropriate to demonstrate lower spinal cord compression during flexion. 相似文献

Although flexion cervical MRI has been recommended for the diagnosis of Hirayama disease (HD), no study focused on the MR features at different neck flexion angles. Moreover, no uniform flexion angle has been confirmed in clinical practice. The purpose of this study is to quantitatively investigate the MRI typical signs of HD patients in different neck flexion degree and gives a suggestion to the MR scanning. Cervical MRI in neutral and different flexion positions (cervical flexion angle 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, and 40°) were performed in 45 HD patients. Three MRI features including anterior shifting of the posterior wall of the cervical dural canal (ASD), widening of cervical epidural space, and epidural flow voids (EFV) at each flexed position were summarized. To evaluate ASD quantitatively, the widest cervical epidural space with the maximum sagittal diameters (d) and cervical canal sagittal diameter (D) at the same level were measured. The d/D values at different angles were calculated and compared. ASD was demonstrated in 34 out of 45 cases (75.6%) at 20° and in all cases (100%) at other 4 angles (χ (2)?=?25.728, P?0.05). Significant difference was demonstrated for the appearance rate of EFV (mean 72.8%) among different angles (χ (2)?=?11.373, P?=?0.021). The peak mean d/D value was found at 35°. Neck flexion angles have effects on ASD, widening of cervical epidural space and EFV. 25° is recommended as the least effective diagnostic flexion angle for MRI diagnosis of HD, and 35° may be the best one. 相似文献

Background Previous anatomical and radiological studies of conus position with flexion and extension of the spine have had conflicting
results. We previously performed a human cadaveric study with direct visualization of the conus during flexion and extension
to further study this question and to potentially determine if flexion and extension of the spine during MRI may prove to
be a diagnostic tool in occult tethered cord syndrome. We found no movement of the conus during flexion or extension. The
present is a follow-up study using MR imaging of Rhesus (Macaca mulatta) monkeys to see if the conus moves in flexion or extension of the spine.
Materials and methods We placed three adult male Rhesus monkeys under general anesthesia into a 1.5 T Siemens MRI machine. Sagittal T2-weighted
images were obtained through the lumbosacral spine during flexion and extension. The conus position was compared between studies.
Results In all animals, the conus terminated between L6 and S1, and the conus did not move from its neutral position in either flexion
or extension of the spine.
Conclusions Flexion and extension of the non-human primate’s spine does not result in a change of position of the conus medullaris to
change position. Therefore, it is unlikely that the conus would change position during flexion and extension MRI in an adult
without a tethered spinal cord. 相似文献
