We herein describe two cases of patients with epilepsy with occipital lobe cortical dysplasia who were studied with both MR spectroscopy and MR diffusion imaging in addition to conventional MR imaging. Greater diffusion abnormalities, as well as more marked decreases in N-acetylaspartate, were observed to occur in the patient harboring a low grade neoplasm within an area of cortical dysplasia than in the patient with cortical dysplasia alone.
我们在此描述了两例患有枕叶皮质发育异常的癫痫患者,除了进行传统的磁共振成像(MR)外,还对其进行了磁共振波谱分析(MR spectroscopy)和磁共振扩散成像(MR diffusion imaging)研究。结果发现,与仅患有皮质发育异常的患者相比,在皮质发育异常区域内伴有低级肿瘤的患者出现了更明显的扩散异常,以及N - 乙酰天门冬氨酸(N-acetylaspartate)更显著的降低。
