Conclusions regarding the significance and appearance of the adenoids incidentally noted on magnetic resonance (MR) scans of the brain largely rely on observations of previously published plain film data. In order to determine the age specific appearance of normal adenoid tissue as measured on sagittal T1‐weighted midline MR images, we evaluated 189 patients without a history or clinical evidence of adenoid disease, who were sequentially referred for an MR scan of the brain. The thickness of the adenoid pad was measured to the nearest 1 mm along a line through the pharyngeal tubercle constructed perpendicular to the anterior clival surface. Patients were grouped according to age. Normal subjects demonstrated an age specific variation in the size of the pad with the maximal size being attained in early childhood and then steadily decreasing in later childhood and adulthood (P = 0.0001). The adenoids were largest in the 7–10 years age group (mean, 14.59 mm) and steadily declined to 4.83 mm by 60 years of age. Previous surgery had no effect on adenoid measurement (P = 0.582). Magnetic resonance scans provide an excellent method for assessing the adenoid pad. 相似文献

Sudden deafness with or without vertigo presents a difficult diagnostic problem. This article describes 12 patients with enhancement of the cochlea and/or vestibule on gadolinium-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), correlating the enhancement with the auditory and vestibular function. All patients were studied with T2-weighted axial images taken through the whole brain, enhanced 3-mm axial T1-weighted images taken through the temporal bone, and enhanced T1-weighted sagittal images taken through the whole brain. Cochlear enhancement on the side of hearing loss was found in all the patients. The vestibular enhancement correlated with both subjective vestibular symptoms and objective measures of vestibular function on electronystagmography. In 2 patients, the resolution of symptoms 4 to 6 months later correlated with resolution of the enhancement on MRI. No labyrinthine enhancement was seen in a series of 30 control patients studied with the same MRI protocol. Labyrinthine enhancement in patients with auditory and vestibular symptoms is a new finding and is indicative of labyrinthine disease. While abnormalities on electronystagmograms and audiograms are nonspecific and only indicate a sensorineural problem, enhanced MRI may separate patients with retrocochlear lesions, such as acoustic neuromas, from those in whom the abnormal process is in the labyrinth or the brain. 相似文献

Cine magnetic resonance imaging: evaluation of persistent airway obstruction after tonsil and adenoidectomy in children with Down syndrome 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS: Although usually successful, not all obstructive sleep apnea is cured by removal of the tonsils and adenoids (T&A). This is particularly true in children with Down syndrome and craniofacial anomalies. This is because of the multiple levels of obstruction in their airways, with obstruction present not only at the level of the tonsils and adenoids but also from base of tongue obstruction, soft palate collapse, and hypopharyngeal collapse. The cine magnetic resonance image (MRI) is useful in evaluating the upper airway in those patients who have not achieved a normal polysomnogram after T&A surgery. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective case series. METHODS: Fifteen children with Down syndrome who had previously undergone a T&A but continued to have abnormal postoperative polysomnograms underwent a cine MRI with fast gradient cine MRI images. RESULTS: The cine MRI identified different areas and levels of obstruction that ultimately affected the children's treatment courses. Recurrent adenoid tissue, glossoptosis, soft palate collapse, hypopharyngeal collapse, and enlarged lingual tonsils were identified. The results as well as several illustrative cases are presented. CONCLUSION: Cine MRI evaluates upper airway obstruction in children who may have multiple sources of obstruction causing their obstructive sleep apnea. This is particularly helpful in children with Down syndrome and craniofacial anomalies. This technology is useful in all children with complex upper airway obstruction. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the intraoperative and late complications of osteoplastic sinus surgery with fat obliteration with long-term magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) follow-up. METHODS: The operative records of all patients who underwent osteoplastic frontal sinus surgery with fat obliteration between January 1, 1986 and December 31, 1997 were reviewed and the postoperative clinical course and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were analyzed if available. MRI analyses revealed that changes in the distribution of fatty and fibrous tissue, the development of necrosis or oil cysts, recurrences, inflammatory complications, and mucoceles were time-dependent occurrences. RESULTS: Eighty-two operative records were evaluated and 59 patients were followed 1 to 12 years after surgery. Eighty-six MRI scans in 51 patients were available for analysis. The most frequent intraoperative complications were exposure of orbital fat (19.5%), unintentional fracture of the anterior wall (19.5%), incorrect placement of the anterior wall (17%), and dural injury (9.8%). Persistent changes of the frontal contour (embossment, depression) occurred in 10.2% and the esthetic result was unfavorable in 5.1% of the cases. Mucoceles could be detected in 5 of 51 cases (9.8%). The amount of adipose tissue detectable in the last scan was less than 20% in the majority of cases (53%), and more than 60% in only 18% of the cases. The amount of adipose tissue decreased significantly with time (the median half-life was 15.4 mo). CONCLUSIONS: Osteoplastic frontal sinus surgery with fat obliteration is very useful and successful in patients in whom the frontal sinus is not accessible via an endonasal approach or the natural drainage cannot be reestablished. MRI is currently the most valuable diagnostic tool to evaluate the frontal sinus after obliteration with adipose tissue. The method has some limitations with regard to detection of small recurrent mucoceles and differentiating vital adipose tissue from fat necroses in the form of oil cysts. In these difficult cases, long-term MRI follow-up is necessary. 相似文献
