The authors report an extremely rare case with intraventricular and subarachnoid fat developed after trauma to spine and soft tissue in a 54-year-old male. The initial computed tomography (CT) showed multiple low attenuation lesions, which were thought to be pneumocephalus. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed lesions with high signal intensity on T1-weighted magnetic resonance images and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images, indicating fat globules within the CSF. In this report, the clinical presentation, radiological findings, and a review of the literature are presented.
作者报告了一例极为罕见的病例,一名54岁男性在脊柱和软组织创伤后出现脑室内和蛛网膜下腔脂肪。最初的计算机断层扫描(CT)显示多个低密度病变,当时认为是气颅。脑部磁共振成像(MRI)显示病变在T1加权磁共振图像上呈高信号强度,在T2加权图像上也呈高信号强度,提示脑脊液内有脂肪球。本报告介绍了该病例的临床表现、影像学检查结果并对相关文献进行了综述。
