结节性硬化的影像学诊断

目的总结结节性硬化的影像学表现特征。方法回顾分析20例经临床、影像及病理证实的结节性硬化患者的脑部CT和MRI表现。结果20例中CT表现为沿侧脑室壁分布的多发室管膜下钙化结节16例,其中多发结节14例,单发结节2例,室管膜下等密度未钙化结节2例,结节大小介于2~12mm。未见明确异常2例。MRI显示多发室管膜下结节19例,单发结节1例,T1WI结节呈等信号或低信号,T2WI呈低信号、等信号或稍高信号。MRI显示脑皮质及皮质下病变19例,呈局限脑回样异常信号;脑白质异常信号7例,分别呈线状、楔形及不规则形。9例MRI增强扫描室管膜下结节多呈轻中度强化,脑实质内结节多不强化。结论结节性硬化的CT和MRI表现均具有特征性。

Imaging Diagnosis of Tuberous Sclerosis

Objective To sum up the imaging features of tuberous sclerosis.Methods CT and MRI findings of brain in 20 patients with tuberous sclerosis proved by clinic,imaging or pathology were retrospectively studied. Results Among 20 cases,on CT,the lesions appeared as subependymal calcified noduli in 16 cases (multiple noduli in 14 cases and single nodule in 2) and subependymal uncalcified noduli in 2,the noduli were 2~12 mm in diameter,2 cases were normal.On MRI,the subependymal noduli were multiple in 19 cases and single in one case,the noduli were iso-or hypointensity on T1WI and iso-,hypo or hyperintensity on T2WI.In addition,the lesions within cortical or sub-cortical matter were demonstrated by MRI in 19 cases,and the abnormal signals were showed in local patterns of cortical tubers.The abnormal findings of white matter were radial linear or wedge-shaped or irregular type in 7 cases.The subependymal noduli were enhanced,and the most of cortical lesions were not enhanced after contrast-enhanced MR scans in 9 cases.Conclusion There are characteristic findings of tuberous sclerosis both on CT and MRI.
