Two patients with acute thiamine deficiency were examined with thalamic single-voxel proton MR spectroscopy. T2-weighted images exhibited increased signal intensity. N-acetylaspartate (NAA)/creatine (Cr) ratios were low without detectable lactate. Owing to substantially decreased choline (Cho) T2, the Cho/Cr ratio was not decreased. After thiamine therapy, the NAA/Cr ratio increased, paralleling clinical improvement and reduction in the areas of signal-intensity changes.
对两名急性硫胺素缺乏患者进行了丘脑单体素质子磁共振波谱检查。T2加权图像显示信号强度增加。N-乙酰天门冬氨酸(NAA)/肌酸(Cr)比值较低,未检测到乳酸。由于胆碱(Cho)的T2显著降低,Cho/Cr比值未降低。硫胺素治疗后,NAA/Cr比值升高,与临床改善及信号强度改变区域的缩小情况平行。
