Normal and degenerative posterior spinal structures: MR imaging 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A retrospective study of the magnetic resonance (MR) images of the lumbar spines of 13 healthy subjects and 30 patients with degenerative changes was done. In the healthy subjects, the vertebral facets, thickness of the cartilage and ligamentum flavum, signal characteristics of the bone marrow, and size of the spinal canal were studied. In the patients with degenerative changes in one of these structures, MR images in the sagittal plane were useful in demonstrating hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum or the vertebral facets, in grading the degree of foraminal stenosis, and in measuring the sagittal diameter of the spinal cord. MR images in the axial plane facilitated detailed analysis of the facet joint and more accurate measurements of the thickness of the ligamentum flavum and spinal canal diameter. MR images were compared with computed tomography scans in 12 patients. 相似文献

Summary Cervical myelography with metrizamide was performed in a series of 30 patients. Minor modifications to the conventional technique made it possible to carry out measurements of the sagittal diameter of the cord and to improve the opacification of the upper cervical —foramen magnum region. Computer tomography was performed with a head scanner within 1 h after the conventional examination, and the spinal cord surrounded by contrast medium was shown from C-3 to the foramen magnum region. Measurements of the sagittal diameter of the spinal canal and the cord at corresponding levels using the two methods showed good correlation. 相似文献

Cervical spinal stenosis: determination with vertebral body ratio method 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22
Transient bilateral sensory and motor symptoms after trauma, including complete paralysis, have been identified in patients with cervical spinal stenosis. Radiographs of 23 patient athletes with cervical spinal neurapraxia were used for measurement of the cervical spinal canal. Two methods of measurement were used. In the conventional method, sagittal diameter is measured from the posterior surface of the vertebral body to the nearest point of the corresponding laminar line. In the ratio method, the sagittal diameter of the spinal canal is divided by the sagittal diameter of the corresponding vertebral body. Results indicate the ratio method is reliable for determining cervical spinal stenosis and is independent of technical factor variables. 相似文献

Morphological analysis of the cervical spinal canal,dural tube and spinal cord in normal individuals using CT myelography 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
To verify the conventional concept of developmental stenosis of the cervical spinal canal, we performed a morphological analysis of the relations of the cervical spinal canal, dural tube and spinal cord in normal individuals. The sagittal diameter, area and circularity of the three structures, and the dispersion of each parameter, were examined on axial sections of CT myelograms of 36 normal subjects. The spinal canal was narrowest at C4, followed by C5, while the spinal cord was largest at C4/5. The area and circularity of the cervical spinal cord were not significantly correlated with any parameter of the spinal canal nor with the sagittal diameter and area of the dural tube at any level examined, and the spinal cord showed less individual variation than the bony canal. Compression of the spinal cord might be expected whenever the sagittal diameter of the spinal canal is below the lower limit of normal, that is about 12 mm on plain radiographs. Thus, we concluded that the concept of developmental stenosis of the cervical spinal canal was reasonable and acceptable. 相似文献

A total of 68 major complications of cervical myelography were reported by 220 neuroradiologists in a mail survey. Two-thirds of the complications were attributed to cervical spine hyperextension and one-third to lateral C1-2 puncture. Narrow sagittal diameter of the spinal canal and severe cervical spondylosis were frequent contributing factors to hyperextension injury of the cervical spinal cord. Clinical and radiographic premyelography screening is suggested, with magnetic resonance imaging performed first in patients with spinal canal stenosis, severe spondylosis, and/or myelopathy of any cause. Neck extension should be minimal during myelography. All C1-2 punctures should be monitored with lateral fluoroscopy for accurate needle positioning and prevention of contrast medium injection into the spinal cord. 相似文献

Magnetic resonance imaging of spinal cord syndromes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Thirty-four patients with intramedullary space-occupying lesions or cord compression syndromes were examined with a resistive and two different superconductive magnetic resonance (MR) imaging units. Studies were done primarily by the spin-echo (SE) technique and in the majority of patients different pulse sequences were used. Images with short echo-time (TE) and short recovery-time (TR) were best for demonstration of spinal cord anatomy, for depicting cystic portions in intramedullary tumours and for showing syringomyelia. Solid intramedullary tumours showed normal cord signal intensity. Images with prolonged TE and TR predominantly enhanced CSF signal intensity and, to a more considerable extent, solid intramedullary tumours. Thus, the diameter of the subarachnoid space and the presence of a solid intramedullary tumour, not concomitant with a significant enlargement of the spinal cord, could only be recognized on these prolonged SE images. Major advantages of MR in comparison to CT are that the spinal cord can be imaged in the sagittal plane and that beam hardening artifacts do not occur; in comparison to myelography the cord can be imaged directly by MR. Partial volume is a major limitation of MR, not only in the preferably applied sagittal plane. The choice of slice thickness adequate to the diameter of the lesion and straight positioning of the patient for sagittal single slice midline images are fundamental for reliable MR investigations. Another limitation to MR is that cortical bone gives no signal. The actual diameter of the spinal canal therefore cannot be correctly appreciated and consequently it was difficult or impossible to assess spinal stenosis. 相似文献

Cervical spinal cord neurapraxia (CCN) leads to transient episodes ranging from paresthesia to paresis to plegia (complete
paralysis), and occurs in athletes with some demonstrable degree of cervical spinal stenosis. Determination of spinal stenosis
requires demonstrating a sagittal diameter of the spinal canal less than 14 mm from C4 to C6. Because radiologic techniques
vary affecting the accuracy of this measure, a ratio method was developed comparing the spinal canal to the vertebral body
width, demonstrating that a ratio of less than 0.8 is indicative of cervical spinal stenosis. Although this has high sensitivity
(93%), the low predictive value of 0.2% makes this a poor screening tool for athletic participation. Further complicating
the challenge of determining which athletes are at risk for quadriplegia are data showing that athletes who suffered permanent
injury did not recall transient episodes of CCN, and conversely none of the athletes with CCN later developed permanent neurologic
injury. Nevertheless, 56% of football athletes returning to sport after an episode of CCN experienced a recurrence as determined
by survey data. Those with CCN and documented ligamentous instability, magnetic resonance imaging evidence of cord defects
or swelling, neurologic symptoms or signs for greater than 36 hours, or more than one recurrence have an absolute contraindication. 相似文献

Cervical myelopathy: MRI evaluation of cord compression 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In order to assess the consequences of cervical spinal cord compression in cervical myelopathy, MRI measurements of the sagittal diameter of the cervical spinal cord were obtained in 50 normal volunteers and 50 patients suffering from cervical myelopathy. Whatever the degree of stenosis, the values obtained in the latter group are significantly inferior to those of the normal control group (average mean diameter: normal group: 8.2 mm; cervical myelopathy: 6.2 mm). 相似文献

Summary One hundred cervical myelographies in patients without degenerative changes on plain radiographs were evaluated. Pathologic changes were seen in 75 patients, most of them with congenital spinal canal stenosis and dural sac stenosis. Normal values for sagittal diameter of the dural sac from C2 to C6 were established. It was found that a quotient <0.9 between the sagittal diameter of the spinal canal and the midsagittal diameter of the vertebral body indicated congenital stenosis. It is concluded that plain radiographs of the cervical spine are unreliable in predicting the diagnostic value of cervical myelography. 相似文献

PURPOSETo document the occurrence of isolated dorsal subluxation of posterior elements in cases of lumbar spondylolysis without spondylolisthesis both quantitatively (using spinal canal measurements) and qualitatively (by visual inspection) on sagittal MR images.METHODSRetrospective analysis identified 63 patients with lumbar spondylolysis (confirmed by CT or conventional radiography) who had undergone MR imaging. From these we identified 12 patients with pars interarticularis defects but no evidence of spondylolisthesis. Measurements of anteroposterior spinal canal diameters were performed in these 12 patients to ascertain whether the sagittal canal diameter at the level of the spondylolysis exceeded the normal range as determined from 100 control subjects.RESULTSIn 9 of 12 patients the spinal canal was abnormally widened at the level of the spondylolysis because of dorsal subluxation of posterior elements. In 5 of these patients, the subluxation was readily visible on midline sagittal MR images. In 4 patients, spinal canal measurements were necessary to document this phenomenon.CONCLUSIONIn the majority of patients with spondylolysis but without spondylolisthesis, sagittal MR images can show isolated dorsal subluxation of posterior spinal elements. 相似文献

Radiographic anatomy of the distal dural sac. A myelographic investigation of dimensions and termination. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A radio-anatomical study was performed of the distal dural sac (DS) in 121 patients subjected to myelography. In 83.4% the termination of the DS was located from the upper half of the S1-segment to the lower half of the S2-segment. In the remaining patients the dural terminations were more distally located. The average location of the DS-termination was higher than that found in a previous anatomic study. The inference is that in patients with low-back pain and sciatica, the DS tends to terminate at a higher spinal level than in a non-selected anatomic material. The caudal reduction in sagittal diameter of the DS was less than that of the frontal diameter of the sac. The linear diminution in cross-sectional area of the DS from the level of L3 towards the lumbo-sacral junction was not correlated with the degree of caudal extension of the DS into the sacrum. Thus the length of the DS and its transverse diameters are independent of each other. These results supported the view that the location of the termination of the DS (and hence that of the spinal cord) is not related to stenosis of the central spinal canal. 相似文献

Objective
Forward shifting of the posterior cervical dural sac is the most important sign in diagnosing Hirayama disease but can also be seen in normal subjects, causing potential diagnostic dilemma. We aim to explore the degree of forward displacement of posterior dural sac in normal subjects compared to that with Hirayama disease.Materials and methods
50 healthy male teenagers and 3 patients with Hirayama disease were recruited into the control group and patient group, respectively. MR imaging of the cervical spine was performed in both neutral and flexion positions for all subjects, with the following parameters measured: maximal distance of forward shifting of posterior dural sac, dimension of dural sac and spinal cord.Results
Forward shifting of the posterior cervical dural sac was depicted in 46% of normal subjects upon flexion position but without associated cord compression due to intrinsic expansion of the spinal canal volume. This intrinsic compensatory mechanism was inadequate in diseased patients leading to cord compression with significant increment in ratio of anteroposterior diameter of forward displacement of posterior dural wall/anteroposterior diameter of spinal canal (“x/y”), and decrement in ratio of anteroposterior diameter of spinal cord/perpendicular transverse diameter of spinal cord (“a/b”).Conclusion
Depicting of forward shifting of posterior dural sac alone on flexion position cannot reliably diagnose Hirayama disease, which should be established only if there is forward shifting of posterior dural sac, plus increased ratio of x/y and decreased ratio of a/b on flexion position from associated mass effect on the spinal cord. 相似文献18.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The authors prospectively evaluated a T2-weighted, three-dimensional (3D) volume, fast spin-echo (SE) pulse sequence in assessment of the cervical spine and compared it with standard imaging protocol. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighteen patients with neck pain underwent magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at 1.5 T with two-dimensional (2D) fast SE and axial 3D gradient-echo (GRE) protocols and with an additional sagittal T2-weighted volume fast SE protocol. The spinal cord and canal, neural foramina, and intervertebral disks were assessed by two neuroradiologists, and the results were compared with reports from the standard protocol. The quality of the partition (direct sagittal) and reconstructed images were evaluated. RESULTS: No differences existed in the assessment of spinal cord disease or disk herniation with 2D fast SE and volume fast SE imaging. Some mild variation occurred in assessment of the neural foramina. Partition images demonstrated a high level of resolution and contrast, while reconstructed images had consistently lower quality. However, this did not impede detection and grading of disk or spinal abnormalities, which were adequately shown on volume fast SE sagittal images. Neural foramina were well demonstrated on axial reconstructions from volume fast SE imaging. CONCLUSION: Volume fast SE imaging provides information about the spinal cord, canal, disks, and neural foramina that is comparable to the information provided by routine imaging. Its thinner sections and multiplanar reconstruction capability are advantages over 2D imaging. Its greater tissue contrast with better visualization of the cervical cord, greater signal-to-noise ratio, and less susceptibility artifact are advantages over 3D GRE imaging. 相似文献

This paper describes eight patients with spinal stenosis associated with marked osteochondrous changes in the vertebral bodies due to juvenile lumbar osteochondrosis (Scheuermann's disease). In no case was the midsagittal or interpedicular diameter of the spinal canal indicative of bony stenosis. On the other hand, in the myelograms the sagittal diameter of the dural sac was in all cases significantly narrowed, a diagnostic sign of central spinal stenosis. Therefore, myelography should always be contemplated when osteochondrous changes are present and spinal stenosis is suspected clinically regardless of whether the spinal canal diameters are normal in plain films. 相似文献
