甲基强的松龙冲击治疗颅内幕上肿瘤脑水肿疗效观察

目的观察大剂量甲基强的松龙冲击治疗对幕上脑肿瘤瘤周水肿的临床疗效和不良反应。方法选择35例幕上脑肿瘤伴瘤周水肿患者术前应用甲基强的松龙冲击治疗,采用MRI测算每个患者冲击治疗前后的水肿指数。结果甲基强的松龙冲击治疗后,轻度、中度、重度瘤周水肿患者的平均水肿指数分别减少1.79%、8.81%和12.02%,中度和重度患者的水肿指数明显低于治疗前(P<0.01),轻度患者的水肿指数与治疗前的差异无显著性意义(P>0.05)。结论大剂量甲基强的松龙冲击治疗对中度及重度幕上脑肿瘤瘤周水肿有明显的治疗作用,无严重不良反应。

Effect of High-dose Methylprenisolone Pulse Treatment on Peritumor Edema Induced by Supratentorial Brain Tumors

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of high-dose methylprednisolone pulse treatment on peritumoral edema induced by supratentorial brain tumors.Methods Thirty-five patients with supratentorial brain tumors and peritumoral edema were treated with methylprednisolone pulse therapy before surgery and the edema index of every patient was calculated by MRI examinations before and after methylprednisolone treatment.Results After methylprednisolone pulse therapy, the edema indexes of the light, medium and severe edema patients reduced by 1.79%, 8.81% and 12.02% respectively. The edema indexes of the medium and serious patients were significantly lower than that before treatment ( P<0.01). But the edema index of the light edema patients was not significantly different with that before treatment ( P>0.05).Conclusion High-dose methylprednisolone pulse therapy has an obvious effect on medium and serious peritumoral edema induced by supratentorial brain tumors and has no serious adverse reactions.
