Brain MRI was performed on 12 patients with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). Multifocal white matter lesions indistinguishable from those seen in multiple sclerosis (MS) were found in 10. In 5 there were rather extensive symmetric abnormalities in the cerebral (2) or cerebellar white matter (2), or basal ganglia (1). Follow-up MRI after intervals of 2 wks to 18 months demonstrated partial resolution of the abnormalities, but some persisting lesions. New MRI lesions were found at follow-up in only 1 case after an interval of 2 wks. Serial MRI makes a useful contribution to the distinction between MS and ADEM.
对12例急性播散性脑脊髓炎(ADEM)患者进行了脑部磁共振成像(MRI)检查。10例患者发现了与多发性硬化症(MS)中所见难以区分的多灶性白质病变。5例患者在大脑白质(2例)、小脑白质(2例)或基底神经节(1例)出现了相当广泛的对称性异常。在2周至18个月的间隔后进行的随访MRI显示,异常情况部分得到缓解,但仍有一些持续性病变。仅1例患者在2周的间隔后随访时发现了新的MRI病变。系列MRI对MS和ADEM的鉴别诊断有很大帮助。
