Hypertrophic olivary degeneration is a trans-synaptic neuronal degeneration associated with hypertrophy of the inferior olivary nucleus due to a lesion in the triangle of Guillain-Mollaret. Familiarity with this entity on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential to avoid other erroneous ominous diagnoses. We present a case of bilateral hypertrophic olivary degeneration and discuss the etiopathogenesis and MRI findings in this entity. The contributory role of MR tractography in the diagnosis is also highlighted.
肥大性橄榄核变性是一种跨突触神经元变性,与由于Guillain-Mollaret三角区病变导致的下橄榄核肥大有关。熟悉磁共振成像(MRI)上的这种病变对于避免其他错误的严重诊断至关重要。我们报告一例双侧肥大性橄榄核变性病例,并讨论该病变的病因病理及MRI表现。还强调了磁共振神经成像在诊断中的辅助作用。
