耳鸣患者颞骨异常的CT及MRI研究

目的 采用HRCT和MRI对耳鸣患者颞骨进行检查,探讨其异常发生率及最佳扫描方案.方法 回顾性分析1015例耳鸣患者的HRCT和MRI资料.搏动性耳鸣145例,142例行HRCT,7例行MRI,其中4例同时行HRCT和MRI,仅行平扫HRCT者67例,仅行增强HRCT者71例.非搏动性耳鸣870例,650例行HRCT,267例行MRI,其中47例同时行HRCT和MRI,仅行平扫HRCT者598例,仅行增强HRCT者5例.分析颞骨异常阳性率及构成比,比较不同影像学检查方法和序列对颞骨异常的显示效果.采用χ2检验对数据进行组间分析.结果 1015例中显示病变者767例(75.57%).常见颞骨异常发生率分别为:颈静脉窝高位414例(40.79%);乙状窦异常387例(38.13%);中耳乳突炎148例(14.58%);中颅窝低位70例(6.90%).平扫HRCT对颈静脉窝高位显示阳性率最高(365/665,54.89%);增强HRCT对乙状窦异常显示的阳性率最高(56/76,73.68%).在搏动性耳鸣患者中,乙状窦异常发生率最高(96/145,66.21%),且其发生率明显高于非搏动性耳鸣患者(291/870,33.45%;χ2=56.537,P＜0.01).真稳态进动快速成像(FIESTA)序列显示内耳道内血管袢影最佳(42/42,100%).结论 颈静脉窝高位和乙状窦异常是耳鸣患者最常见的颢骨影像异常.搏动性耳鸣首选增强HRCT,非搏动性耳鸣首选平扫HRCT,内耳道内血管显示首选MR FIESTA序列.

Abstract：

Objective To study high resolution CT (HRCT) and MRI findings of temporal bone anomaly in patients with tinnitus and identify the optimal examination method in the detection of the anomaly. Methods The HRCT and MRI data were analyzed retrospectively in 1015 patients including 145 patients with pulsatile tinnitus (PT) and 870 patients with nonpulsatile tinnitus (NPT). The positive rates of HRCT and MRI in the identification of temporal bone anomaly were analyzed and the efficiency of various examination methods was compared in revealing the anomaly. Data were tested by Chi-square test analysis. Results Among 1015 patients, anomaly was seen in 767 cases (75.57%). High jugular bulb was found in 414 patients, accounting for 40. 79%. Sigmoid sinus anomaly was detected in 387 patients (38. 13%), while otitis media was found in 148 cases (14. 58%), and low middle cranial fossa in 70 cases (6. 90%). The positive rate of HRCT in the detection of high jugular bulb was 54. 89% (365/665), which was significantly higher than those of other methods (P ＜ 0. 05). The positive rate of enhanced HRCT in showing sigmoid sinus anomaly was 73.68% (56/76), which was significantly higher than those of other methods(P ＜0. 05). Sigmoid sinus anomaly was the most frequent finding in patients with PT, accounting for 66. 21% (96/145). The incidence of sigmoid sinus anomaly was higher in PT than in NPT (291/870,33.45% ;χ2 =56. 537 ,P ＜0. 01). The fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition (FIESTA) sequence was the best examination method in displaying the vessel within the internal auditory canal (42/42,100%).Conclusions High jugular bulb and sigmoid sinus anomaly were the most frequent abnormal findings of temporal bone in patients with tinnitus. Enhanced HRCT was the choice of modality in patients with PT.Plain HRCT was recommended for NPT. FIESTA sequence was the best in the evaluation of the vessel within the internal auditory canal.
