Radiculomyelitic (silent) rabies and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis have similar clinical presentations but distinct management and prognostic implications. It is thus important to differentiate between the two antemortem. Because of their distinct pathologic abnormalities, MR imaging may be helpful in distinguishing between the two entities. We report a case in which MR imaging helped us to diagnose silent rabies antemortem, which was subsequently confirmed at autopsy.
脊神经根脊髓炎型(无症状型)狂犬病和急性播散性脑脊髓炎有相似的临床表现,但在治疗及预后方面有着不同的意义。因此,生前鉴别这两种疾病很重要。由于它们有着不同的病理异常表现,磁共振成像(MR)可能有助于区分这两种疾病。我们报告了一例通过MR成像在生前诊断出无症状型狂犬病的病例,该病例随后经尸检得以证实。
